i've seen hatred directed towards MS, apple, walmart, bose, monster, tiger direct, even newegg.
which is yours? it could be for any reason.

for me, it's apple.
i have had several ipods (got them for cheap), but aside from that, i hate their tv ads, i hate their overpriced computer hardware, and i hate their fanboys.
 
I hate apple as well. They cater to idiots with deep pockets, which I guess is a good business plan. I hate them for it though because then I have to deal with the occasional idiot with deep pockets talking about their special computer.
 
AT&T Wireless. Loved their service but they treated me like shyte when they refused to address a billing mistake on their side that would have wiped out all my savings and bullied me into signing a new yearlong contract.

Details:
19 year old girl fresh out of college, just moved, $450 in the bank and looking for work for the first time
2 months left on contract. Contract had unlimited nights and weekends, which I used extensively
After move, new home wasn't in coverage area
Got new Cingular phone (this is pre-merger)
Called AT&T and asked them, EFFECTIVE NEXT BILLING CYCLE, to change my plan to their lowest so that I could just pay $20/month for the rest of my contract
Asked three times to ensure that their change would not impact me in the current month, since I was well over their minutes limit; they assured me I was ok and I asked them to note this in my record
Got a $550 bill for current month, had heart attack
Called them and asked for a correction; they refused and offered me free nights and weekends again if I signed up for another year
Told them I didn't want it; asked to speak to a supervisor. Supervisor offered same deal; I asked to speak to THEIR supervisor
They tell me that if they escalate me then the new contract offer would no longer be available and I'd have to pay the full $550 immediately (please note, I'm in tears at this point and this is my rent/gas/food money; I'm also fresh out of school and completely naive about how the whole business thing works.)

I accepted the deal and wound up paying $20/month for another 12 months. Buggers lied to my face and took complete advantage of me. If I had it to do over again I would tear them a new one.

You're no better than apple fanboys then.
 
McDonald's.


As for Apple:
with me, it's a somewhat unbalanced mixture of loathing and respect. I can't completely dislike an organization that so successfully and unabashedly profits from the ignorant and easily devoted.

maybe.
the iphone and certain ipods are better than the competition and i wouldn't mind paying a slight premium for them.
but all the ipods i've bought were at a deep discount or used.
