Apple’s $1000 monitor stand is a massive and unnecessary PR fail

Excatly. I never heard hate. Only laughts. "apple is doing a stupid apple thing"

It's actually good PR: everybody talk about it, but they also they it's a good quality monitor, just that apple is over pricing an accessory, which is a cheap way of making the luxury brand perceptuon stronger... Huge com win for very little effet.

Call it what you like. But I’m pretty sick of having to have the apple is stupid conversation at work. I get it, but it comes up far too often. It’s severely impacted my professional career due to prejudice from the wintel guys...who I also run circles around within Windows and Unix/Linux. But because apple released yet another expensive shiny I’ve got to take time out of my day to deal with this crap.

Why? Does their opinion of Apple (accurate or not) impact your work in any way?

I just ignore it and use ubuntu. It's not difficult.
