I'm fed up with the snarkiness from Apple lovers and haters. I have several Apple products, MBP, iPhone, and Airport Base Station and I have never touted that they are superior or better than other offerings out there. I just silently go along and do my own thing and still attract tons of negative comments. There seems to be an inferiority complex in both Apple fanboys and Apple haters.

Whether you're talking about Apple/Linux/Windows, XBox/Nintendo/PS3 or Canon/Nikon, you're going to see discussions branch out into quasi-religious debates.
