From The Age

I like Apple for the same reasons everyone else does. Because their products look sleeker than they really are, but nobody can tell unless they buy one themselves.
Non-coincidentally, I don't own a single Apple product. But kudos to them for jumping on the 'touchscreens = da future!' bandwagon. Hnn.
