Ranting about the Apple hype

I know from the start that lots of people are going to hate me for the next paragraph. I’m asking nicely: Please don’t.

Today a new Apple product was launched. Its name sounds like a hygiene product. For the next days I won’t be able to walk into any room where there won’t be people talking about it.

There are already some voices defending it like it’s some kind of a “fragile infant”, not being able to take any criticism.

That’s why I have to express my lack of compassion for the Romanian fellows I know and to whom Apple has worked its mastery of the hype machine once again:
