Here we go, another fan boy blindly defending Apple while they are becoming the man by busting down the door of a poor journalist just trying to make a living. Not quite.

I think gay kissing on the bus, winning the talent show, being the only person I ever had problems doing audio engineering for girl was enjoying-my-music girl last night.
