BBC Three looks into 'evangelical frenzy' over Apple

I live in the US.

Mac Frenzy is very real, esp. is major urban areas on the right and left coasts!

And esp. with the 20-35 year old set.

I've seen men get the logo shaved into the backs of their heads!

Anecdotes != evidence of widespread behavior.

Urgh, this is just cringey. I could never be a part of that.

I like Apple products, but I am not "loyal" to Apple - their products just tend to suit me better than others to some extent. When a new Apple product is announced, I get excited. But I also get excited when glasses free 3D TVs start appearing at consumer shows, when new headphones are released promising awesome sound quality etc.

I am a technology geek, and love every bit of it. Apple just happens to be a major role in that, but not the only role.

When you are at a Stevenote, and a product like the original iPhone was announced, I can understand the frenzy and cheers inside the keynote audience. But on the street because a product is released or a new store has opened... urgh who cares!

Spotted this on the BBC website. It's a short clip of some event at the Apple Store in Covent Garden. Plenty of 'British Stiff Upper Lip' to seen...and the reporters final words are just classic.

That scene reminds me of the timeshare scams in Florida. Fools and their money.
