Apple Muscling Asus Around Over the Zenbook
Apple is after the Zenbook. The Asus Zenbook is being manufactured by an Asustek spin-off company called Pegatron, who also does some manufacturing for Apple. So, Apple put in a large order for iPhones (and possibly the iPad3′s) with them, and afterwards told Pegatron to stop making Zenbooks or the massive Apple order would be canceled. Pegatron is going to stop manufacturing Zenbooks in March.
I’m sure the hipsters will love the irony since Pegatron is an Asustek spin-off. I can see them high-fiving… in their silly outfits. I’m not sure what should be done about this and I’m not sure of the legality of what Apple is doing. I just wanted to make sure that this gets out. Log another case of Apple being an evil bully.

Psssst, Apple —
Once again, Apple can’t take a little competition. They think they are first, the best and therefore stand the right to eliminate any kind of a better ‘rip-off’ products from other companies.

Should I do a special report on Apple? I feel like the media is filled with wanna-be creatives, hipsters, and old morons (who do not count in this instance) and they sing praise to Apple all day. There is no balance to this story.
I don’t want to hate on Apple. Steve Wozniak is one of my heroes and I even like Steve Jobs to a certain degree. His biography was a very interesting read.
Anyway, I would want to do this video right… interview some tech people… some hipsters… some programmers, etc. Think it would get a million hits? The message must spread!

Do it Logan! I know a lot of people at my school are like “oh, why are you getting that laptop? get a macbook” or “jeez, you building a pc again? just get an imac!”. They must be stopped…

I say go ahead Logan. I couldn’t stand Apple’s ethics with Jobs and since his passing they have made a few steps in the right direction but then they always tarnish it with this kind of crap. Look forward to that video.
