Apple

From Encyclopedia Dramatica

Apple's claim to fame is that they invented the PC even though it was actually invented by the CTC . Apple is also known as the one company that had to be paid by Microsoft to stay in business. Led by all-star jerk Steve Jobs, Apple is the favorite high-tech company of "artistes" everywhere. This is because people believe Apple makes awesome computers that off-set their exorbitant price by becoming obsolete only once every thursday. The truth is, they are merely victims of the Reality Distortion Field. While Apple may have done some neat things in the past, they are now just a music company.

Mac users were once the most annoying computer fans on the planet. Now they are the second most annoying, after Linux users. They are continuously bragging about how easy a one-button mouse is, how great the benefits of the "genie" effect are, and act like BSD was just invented. Unfortunately, if you want to be famous, you have to be a Mac user.

Despite all their idiotic fanboys, Apple has still done some cool things. They did create the Apple II. Also, they made the world aware of the dogcow. iMacs are also really pretty to look at, and they make 8-year-old girls want to go out and buy jelly beans.

Apple has borne an unearthly hatred for Microsoft ever since being marooned on Ceti Alpha V, but Bill Gates still does not mind raking in the cash from all those Microsoft Office sales.

According to a survey taken in early 2000, Apple had sold a total of 315 Macs to customers on 2 continents. However, with Apple's recent success, these figures have seen a great increase. A moar recent study shows that Apple now has 908 users on 3 continents, only slightly behind Microsoft's user base of 4.6 billion customers.

In June 2005, over 9000 PowerPC fans gathered in Cupertino, California in order to collectively slit their wrists. This was meant to protest Apple's move to Intel, but instead provided welcome industrial dye for the new U2-endorsed, strawberry-flavoured Mac Mini.

Rumor has it that after being questioned about Apple's move to Intel, Steve Jobs answered "I did it for the lulz".

[edit] Apple Users

A typical Macintosh user. Notice the enjoyment he is receiving from ingesting his own feces

Apple users believe that they are better than you are. People who subscribe to Apple's corporate philosophy (see human slavery) often espouse the notion that Apple products are somehow inherently more liberal than other things built out of metal and silicon. While this is true for the special case of Ann Coulter, Apple users are in all other cases simply the delusional but willing victims of trendy advertising, which makes expensive computers made by fascists appear to be a counter-culture political statement. Apple users are simply fucktards who will believe anything they see in a commercial, as long as it agrees with the knee-jerk opinions they have already formed from other advertisements. In the final analysis Apple users are helpless slaves irrevocably wed to the mediated and hyper-hedonistic run away freight train of industrial society; thanks to iPods built with alien mind control technology they are unable to conceive existence outside of music, video, and images. It is these legions of iPod wearing zombies with their thick black framed glasses and trendy shiny hair who are the Storm-Troopers of the 'Great-Beast'. See, Protocols of the Elders of Macintosh.

[edit] Your average Apple consumer

Your average Apple consumer will be a 20something Hipster named Grant with stupid chunky black plastic rimmed glasses and/or dyed black emo hair or a bald head (kind of like that fag Moby - who loves Apple so much that he was featured in the iPod introduction video). They are generally the kinds of people who major in lighting, attend modern art galleries on a regular basis, listen to Radiohead, and cry while masturbating furiously in the corner to stylistic, artistic, sepia coloured pictures of Thom Yorke. They will generally live in either an ugly Victorian townhouse or some other area populated by pretentious champagne socialists. Mac users are to be avoided at all costs.

[edit] Criticism

A secret survey conducted by the Rand Corporation in the 1970s confirmed that any person attracted to white, plastic machines completely without sharp edges is an utter homosexual, subconsciously wishing to insert them into his rectum. (This thesis was famously defended by Sigmund Freud at least 100 years ago.) This led some to theorize that the miraculous upsurge in sales at the dawn of the new millennium, after a long period during which no one would buy an Apple computer, was the result of a coup backed by the CIA. It could not be a coincidence, it was argued, that every new design released by Apple had a counterpart amongst the suggestions presented in the Rand Corporation survey, which had recently been made public, to which it was almost identical. The CIA's interest in the coup supposedly was to divert the interest of the inhabitants of California towards "expressing themselves" with shitty programs such as iPhoto, Pages and iMovie (all designed especially to appeal to homosexuals) so that the Republicans could regain power from the Democrats in the 2000 presidential elections. The CIA confessed its partaking in the coup after the Republican Thousand Year Empire was secured in 2004, and admitted to doing this 'for the lulz.'

[edit] Mac viruses

Ever wondered where all the viruses for Macs are? Mac fanboys will bullshit you, saying that it is due to the Mac's enhanced virus protection, but the real reason is because for a virus to exist, someone has to be around to make it. And nobody uses Macs. Thats right, Macs can't even get negative attention. Noone gives a shit about them.

Against common belief, a few virii exist on all Apple machines ranging from old (at least as recently as last thursday) to new (except for the ones that are new, give it a week or four.) A newer one fucks with gravity sensors inside the MacBook (which further proves they are insane) and ejaculates your MacBook to space. Users of this virus simply plug in a USB flash drive and if autorun is active on said MacBook, it is fucked. Unfortunately for said virus, autorun does not exist on OSX, rendering this virus somewhat useless, relying instead on the "honour system," whereby the user must erase their hard drive manually. Mac loving faggots (aka Fanbois) will constantly complain about this, claiming that this is not a virus but a "prank which fucks up your computer". On a serious note: WHAT THE FUCK ELSE IS A VIRUS?

[edit] Apple in Popular Culture

Apple shows its support of the homosexuality of its users.

Apple Macs were the high tech backbone of Jurassic Park's security system. However, due to a large amount of fail, lulz ensued.
The Apple Newton was used by Vin Diesel in UNDER SIEGE 4: THE REVENGE, where he helped defend a hijacked passenger space shuttle from rebel Nigras. However, due to a large amount of fail, lulz ensued.
iMacs were used in the movie i-Robot (note the product endorsement) to program "intelligent" robot beings who would later rape the humans for their blood and Jewgold in a crazy haphazard sort of mix up similar to what will happen to Apple in the coming years.
In the movie "Sneakers," Robert Redford h4xxor3d the CIA using a Mac Classic. However, they got him when he was caught playing Oregon Trail. Lulz ~~did not~~ totally ensued.
After David Koresh and the Branch Davidians were pwn3d by the ATF, CSI showed that they were caught by suprise fapping off to porn on Macs. Lulz ensued.
In the movie "Independence Day" Jeff Goldblum used an ibook to upload a Laughing Skull Virus to the alien mainframe, causing them to be easily defeated. The death of the aliens allowed the future of mankind and lulz to continue.

[edit] Tax Exempt Status

Apple has recently been recognized by the United Nations as the world's second most ludicrous religion, after Scientology. However, due to the relative usefulness of an iPod (as compared to any book or statement by L. Ron Hubbard), it is believed that Apple will be unable to tap into the Hollywood market in the foreseeable future, and will therefore remain number two.
