@theoriginalKland I have one, it’s just that you’re dishonest and unreasonable so it’s useless talking to you.

Then give me a counter argument. I’ve given you mine. Tell me how I’m wrong.

That’s the same bullshit argument Bill Gates makes “if it wasn’t for me no one would be using computers” except that’s obviously stupid, because someone else would have done it if Microsoft hadn’t cornered the market.

As for Microsoft, they suck too but Apple’s draconian DRM policies make them look decent by comparison. Apple is the antithesis of innovation, it locks down all its products so the user can’t do anything the corporation hasn’t pre-ok’d. That’s why I hate Apple. Unix all the way.

@megamarsvin You’re just wrong. Almost nothing you’ve said is true. You’re hopeless and a waste of time.

-cont-

and point by point:

The mouse: Xerox
The desktop gui: Xerox
Optical media: Invented in the 70s, not by apple, and the ISO standard was jointly developed by many corporations (granted, including Apple) but popularized by Microsoft’s Joliet standard.
USB: again not attributable to one company, obviously. Apple pushed for Firewire instead of USB.
Multitouch: Meh you can have that one, hardly revolutionary.
HTML5: again a public standard, not Apple’s innovation.

Feel free to try again.

@megamarsvin I’ve decided that if people can’t already see that they’re wrong then they never will because they don’t want to.

@mrpitchf0rk I figured as much.

If you can find anything dishonest or unreasonable about what I said, then you obviously don’t like facts or reason.

@mrpitchf0rk
You’re right and I never claimed that I speak for everybody. But it is overhyped, because it is not like the iPad is the revolution that Apple claims it to be. And the amount of advertisement crap, that follows me everywhere borders on molestation.
