Choose Open

Choose Apple. Choose a brand. Choose a lifestyle. Choose a following, Choose a fucking overpriced large monitor, Choose the accessories, stereo headphones, funny sockets and what is no longer mp3.

Choose shiny colors, a fancy store and extended warranty. Choose the 'genius'. Choose the cool guy in the ads. Choose your friends.

Choose to switch and buy the matching carrier bag. Choose from the applications they say are ok. Choose their phone and wonder where the coverage and battery life went. Choose sitting in the office listening to content that should otherwise be free. Choose being satisfied at the end of it all, after you spend hours fucking with the resolution when connecting your mini to a TV. Choose telling a friend you bought a new laptop, and not mentioning the extra memory that came at an outrageous fee. Choose what could be the future. Choose Apple.

But why would I want to do a thing like that?

I chose not to choose Apple: I chose something else. And the reasons? There are no reasons. Who need reasons when you've got an open alternative?

Brilliant! I'm sick of so much Apple hype. They do great products, but when it became a religion people stopped questioning.
