Steve Jobs, “The only problem with Microsoft is they just have no taste. They have absolutely no taste. And I don’t mean that in a small way, I mean that in a big way, in the sense that they don’t think of original ideas, and they don’t bring much culture into their products.<\/em>”<\/p>\n

These two photos really capture just how terrible the experience is when someone tries to buy an Alienware PC (now a part of Dell). Alienware was a company that made PCs that were incredible. I used to tear out ads in PC Magazine and put them on my wall. The Area 51 was a sexy case with components that were simply incredible. Now, they’re just another Dell.<\/p>\n
