That guy seems to be a zombie planted by Apple's marketing department. Blurb after blurb! Kool aid by the demijohn. A whole sky full of nauseating fanboy pyrotechnics by a guy who claims to know so little about tech, all he can shout is "efficiency, security, and battery life". Hint: Efficiency and battery life are actually related. Battery life is essential for hipsters who sit in cafés and pretend to be working.
The presenter mentions "They have complete vertical control ... which no other computer maker can do or has been able to do..." as if it were a good thing to say about a corporation that has been notorious for monopolistic and rapacious practices for decades already.
Sad but true. Sad? Ahh, I dunno. I do feel sad for the polar bears, as their world melts around them. I wish the polar bears were winning, instead of everyone losing. We're such losers.
