@anthp2000: Considering Nuada matched strength with Hellboy who can flip cars over, it's probably for the best.

Interesting. Good luck.

@limitless82: Oh, I thought you meant only feats from the original LOTR trilogy apply, so these one from the Hobbit wouldn't. Anyway, it's a close fight, but I think I'd still back my man Nuada.

I haven't watched LOTR in so long I don't remember Legolas's feats, care to remind me?

@joaquin_phoenix:

I agree with you that, as a single company, standing equal to the "ocean" of other companies out there as you put it, is extremely impressive. However, being genius in marketing is one thing, but their products - in my opinion - do not justify the price most of the time. I mean, if you're willing to pay the extra money for things like slightly better pictures to post on Instagram, that's cool, I just don't think it's worth it. Then again I also wouldn't pay thousands of dollars for, I dunno, a collectible antique stamp or whatever, but some people would. I mean hey, I myself have a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, a Microsoft PC and an iPad Air, so I enjoy the best of all worlds.

The point you made about security is true though, I'll give you that.

Being a CS student, using stuff that eat up RAM for breakfast like Eclipse and PyCharm IDE's, I see zero difference between my completely average Dell Inspiron and my close friend's Macbook. The disparity in price in far too big. Having their own operating system is cool but really makes no difference, at least nothing noticeable and certainly nothing that justifies paying an extra triple digit sum.

@azrael1973: Probably, but I fail to understand the analogy here.

@joaquin_phoenix: Being an icon doesn't mean it justifies the price. I for one see no good reason for the disparity in price between iPhones and Samsung Galaxies, or Apple Watches and Galaxy Watches - every single generation all over again. Or Macbooks compared to other laptops, I myself have a Dell Inspiron, and I have 2 good friend who have a Lenovo Yoga and a Mac respectively. We do most of our projects for uni together and there's absolutely no difference in the performance of our laptops as far as I see. Nevertheless, the Mac owner paid a lot more money for his laptop than either me or the Lenovo owner did. Why? Because it looks cool with the Apple logo and space-gray tint. That's about it. There's nothing that Apple makes as far as smartphones, computers, or wearable tech that justifies it being so much more expensive than other brands. Also some smaller thigs about them that bug me: I have Beats headphones. Beats is owned by Apple. You know that you can't find original replacement pads anywhere? I looked when my pads crumbled to dust like Spider-Man in Infinity War. I settled for something I ordered from Amazon which is actually pretty good (luckily for me, you can never know with non-original products), but why not sell original replacement parts online? Bose do that, Sony does too. Why not Beats? And then there's the whole lightning-USB bull. Why use a different charger than literally any brand of tech, anywhere? Just so people spend more money buying your chargers which don't fit anything else. I can charge my Samsung Galaxy, my GoPro and my Nintendo Switch with the same USB-C cable, easy as that.

Granted though, they absolutely dominate the tablet market. Nothing out there compares to the iPad, the new iPad Pro is absolutely amazing. Still, 1,000$ is A LOT of money for that, I personally own the more reasonably priced iPad Air which is awesome but doesn't compare to the Pro which is pretty much the pinnacle of mobile tech today. Bottom line, Apple makes high quality shit. But most of their stuff are easily comparable to other brands' products which you can usually buy for considerably lower prices. They're just too greedy.

Do they make great tech? Yes.

Are some of their stuff extremely overpriced? Also yes.

@buckwheat: @jonjizz: I don't think that anything in this movie is supposed to really be funny. They made a point on how bad he is as a comedian.
