You're entitled to your opinion, but how is this smug or conceited? I'd like to disagree. My viewpoint is very humble; I am not judging anybody or making snide comments.

The first half of what I wrote explains how I am a customer despite acknowledging its flaws, because in the end, it is superior engineering. How is this smug?

I am only critical of Apple's rare but poor engineering decisions. Everything else, as I say in my text, does not matter. And I think I am fairly objective about this. How is this conceited?

If the last few lines of what I wrote seemed out of place, here is the context: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USn5t5nQWU8&NR=1 . This ad, along with other Apple ads, clearly paints the picture of Apple Computer's target demographic. This is the Apple I identify with -- a motley crew of "hipsters", in your words. Yet, this is the Apple that doesn't exist anymore. Which is what I am sad about. It is frustrating sometimes to feel abandoned like this, yet I know there are others like me. Hence I wrote this.

If this piece came across as smug, conceited or hipster-like , I apologize for the clarity in my writing.
