What's Wrong with You Apple People?

I always got a kick how Apple users claim to be independent and avant garde, but Apple is hands down the most tyrannical and controlling company out there when it comes to their products.  You can't plug in an iPhone like a thumb drive and transfer files.  You HAVE TO go through the iPhone store if you wish to listen to any podcasts.  And now, Apple can just remotely slow your computer down if you downloaded the latest update.  Perhaps you can all get some really cool tattoos to show how hip and independent you guys are.
