There once was a quiz on CP,
Managed by a guy known as V,
There was many a copier,
Whose threads couldn't be floppier,
Who went first always counts, don't you see?

1, Doesn't scan.
2. When you have two adjacent punctuation marks (i.e. the "." for the abbreviation and the "," for the EO-verse-L), you pick the one that is most important structurally.
Conclusion: You don't deserve to own an iproduct.

Stridulant = a noise made by rubbing your legs together.
Pace endlessly = Stride - e
Sounds like you = u
Like first = l
Worker = ant

Strictly speaking I think it should be stridulate.

The challenge for Apple is to slow "Samsung's momentum and capture the booming Chinese mobile market." As significantly, the world is awaiting another innovative product from Apple, which could be perhaps the iWatch wearable computer or something completely unexpected, Interbrand said. The company's reputation has, meanwhile, taken some hits after it was found guilty of conspiring with five large book publishers to fix e-book prices, and faced allegations about worker conditions in China at its supplier Foxconn, and ongoing patent disputes with Samsung. Lesson to learn... Buy Sony

Not that remarkable, considering the the States of Unitedness tend to always give most value to the most useless.
As a brand, apple is cr@p, because it's based on ponciness and undeserved elitism.
And coca-cola?
Actors, sportsmen, pop-stars, all the most useless of people (if you were starving and freezing to death on a deserted island, whom would you want to be there with you?), are treated like deities.
Cars that are only good for battle conditions, or climbing roadless mountains, are envied.
Etc.
For an example of the converse: people who study hard in the sciences, equipping themselves to make a real difference in the quality of life of everyone, are treated like pariahs.

(Seriously, if it is ever possible here)
In what way is Apple "crap" ? (other than anecdotical evidence )
The company releases good products that pleases people, I've not heard massive recalls or huge failures in recent history.
It is true that there were and will be crap Apple products (the towers, the cube, some weird mouse, the newton, some map weirdness... ) but the company continued and worked around those.
The hardware is good and works as expected, the software works as expected (including the inevitable bugs and quirks).
People buy the products, not just the "elite" as someone wrote below, but "moms" and "pops" because it works.
If the product was really crap, then reviews would not be good and the product would not sell.
I'd rather be phishing!

I didn't say the products (although for every apple product, there are fifty products both cheaper and better -- who in their right mind wants a device with the musical rendition of an ipod, for example?), I said the brand image.
Any image-branding that relies on users of mass-available products feeling that they are somehow part of an elite is so short-termist that it will hit rock bottom with a bang (in apple's case, more than once).
It's stupid and its cr@p because it cannot last.
But that's OK, because the guys at the top and in the marketing departments will still be raking in the dosh; it's only developers who'll get canned.
Now that Mr Popularity has gone, there is no-one who can provide the verbal and visual paper to cover over the cracks, so it's extremely likely that they'll run into yet another ditch, quite soon.
