EA taking down AT&T actually shows the opposite, it IS about nerdrage.
Yea but AT&T took out Apple the round before, so its going both ways here. I worked for AT&T for 4 years and have nothing but hate and loathing for that company, but its mostly because of their shoddy internal practices, their piss-poor treatment of employees, their horrible management practices, and sheer amazement that they somehow continue to survive as a company despite all that. All in all most of their products and services work just as well as or better than their competitors.
Apple, on the other hand, is the worst kind of company. They never have, and probably never will, provide anything of real value to the world. Every product they have ever come out with is shiny, over-priced (and I mean WAY overpriced), well-advertised piece of shit. And they know thats exactly what they are doing, and everyone out there with half a brain cell knows it too, which is why there is such a large community of Apple haters. They succeed because they advertise well, they focus on the aesthetics of their products more than anyone else, but there are so many idiots out there that don't know the fucking difference that it works. Everything they have ever produced could have been done by someone else, just as well, without the ridiculous over-pricing. The only reason they lost to AT&T is because all the sheep out there that don't know any better.
