I resent you labeling the Church of Apple to be "cult like".

Members of the Church of Apple flaunt their shiny iToys with the lighted
Apple logo to proudly display their membership to this Church are no
different than Jewish people who wear the little hat, Sihks who wear
their turbans and plenty of other legitimate religions. The Church of
Apple is not a cult.

You must not degrade Apple to "cult". If you do, Apple worshippers will
mount a jihad against you and will bang on your head with their laptops
until you start donating money to Apple and become part of the religion.

And consider this, people may line up at Apple Places of Worship to
donate money to the Church of Apple, but to thank them for their
donations, Apple gives them a shiny new iToy.   Cults don't do that.
