First of all, I want to make clear the ironic tone and always humorous of this article, I don't mean to offend any diehard fan of Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), nor, of course, any other fan of the "others". Because YES dear ones. It is Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and then, in his slipstream, and rather far away, are the others, the others, to understand us, those who are not Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),.
This thought, personal, though surely shared. It responds to an idea that the people of the "Apple culture" (Apple culture? We started early with elitism). So much so that they even compare us, with quite right, with a kind of Secta, dumbfounded by all the wonders that Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC), He has sold us, at a price of gold, of course. And of which, we Applelised, we don't stop talking and even bragging.
The leader
Comparisons to a cult start at the top. As in any organization of this type there has always been a leader, a person (or be imaginary) elevated to divinity status, in our case it is, how could it be otherwise, STEVE JOBS. Good old Steve knew how to get high from the beginning (see the double meaning of this word) in the foreground within the company, doing and undoing at will. Although what he is really known for is his selling technique. Watching the presentations of the iThings, Steve, I think I was able to sell a refrigerator to a family of Eskimos. That is why he has convinced us to have a mobile, a Tablet, an MP3, a laptop and / or a desktop computer, because… How can you not buy something you REALLY need?
Like all divinities (ALL) a Jobs feats are also attributed to him, let's call them miracles, which he did not. For example, the invention of the mouse, the graphical environment, or the first personal computer. For us, this has a clear explanation, it is always more exciting to think that the mouse was invented by a man, put up to his eyebrows on LSD, in the garage of his parents' house and almost in 5 minutes (like someone who makes a bag of microwave popcorn), to think that it was the fruit of years of hard work, with a team of highly qualified engineers and bored who always wear a suit and tie.
The place of worship
We, like the other sects, also have a place of worship. Call it Apple Store. Those rooms, diaphanous, with that special light, those wooden windows with the iCosas arranged in a calculated and precise way, almost almost with a square and bevel. With those dependent, friendly, modern (bordering on Hipster in some cases) that they will always be there, but you won't realize it until you really need them. How can we not feel at home in those places! If until when we go abroad, la Apple Store of the city in question is a mandatory stop on our tourist route, and if you can, you go and buy something there, even if the Euro-Pound exchange turns out to be unfavorable, YOU DO NOT CARE, because what you want is to say that you bought something in a Apple Store from outside. And also, to confirm and then show off, you take a photo there (with your iPhone 5s, of course, that is not said).
How heavy are you right?
We are heavy. We are like those of that famous sect that goes from door to door trying to convince you to join (I don't know what witnesses)We are always talking about the good and the pretty (cheap no, we don't cheat) which are our iThings and sentencing the rest with a ... "Damn silly, you still have Android / Windows Phone / Blackberry." (Blackberry? Are you really still like this? You have no remedy). We always talk about how wonderful it is SIRI, even if we do not use it in life, how useful it is our reversible connector (until we are the only iPhone without battery of the group and of course, no charger is enough) or we list, almost like a mantra, all the features that the new one will bring iPhone 6 (For which, we should have been saving a minimum year).
But because we are like this, or better, they have made us like this. Apple will always be above everything. It will make the best product of all. And what does not have a bitten apple will be, at least, criticizable. We are not to blame for being fans of the best brand in the universe.
Unity is strength
We are united. You know it and we know it. This sense of belonging is based on a pride sickly (others call it ridiculous) for consuming gossip signed with an apple. And if it can be the first in a series, BEST. And if it is the first one for sale in your country, BEST, or in your community, or in your neighborhood. Does not matter, We seek exclusivity, whatever it is and at whatever price. We are the Believer's of technology, we do not care, camping, literally, at the gates of a Apple Store in order to get one of the first gadgets, while we despise someone who passes us, walking and tweeting from an Android (Seriously, those gadgets tweet?)
You should join
The reality is this. We are crazy people who prefer to spend a fortune on a device, having another alternative that does the same for half the price, (I keep saying, I'll probably do the same, but in an uglier way). Oh well, In this sect we have a good time… You should join us.
