You're better off buying Gold instead of Apple products

[W0LB0T]

Think about it.
They are nothing but shiny trinkets that do nothing. The only reason to own, lets say an iPad or some bling is so show off. They both cost a shitload, but gold has the distinct ability to reatin its value, where as Apple products will lose value the minute you buy it, then exponetialy devalue as soon as Steve Rimjobs announces the new 3gturbomaxGu2edition the minute after you buy it.

[Outrider]

Except Apple products do things?

Unless gold has gotten a lot more exciting since the last time I looked at it.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

Well... Gold is a very good conductor of electricity.

In fact, most of those Apple products are likely to have gold in them.

With the rise in the popularity of electronic devices, also comes the rise of the value of gold-- it's used in circuit boards.

The entire world of computing (at least for portable objects) always announces something new, within months, that makes your current tech look inferior. It's just that Apple has a way of advertising so that you know it. Other manufacturers do the exact same thing, but they don't have broadcasted seminars or something introducing them. You basically find that out, the easiest, by going into forums while you state your specs and someone already tells you "you're in the dark ages." You expect that machine you bought 8 months ago to run Starcraft 2????!! What the heck? You should've gotten PC X-spec 3000.

On the other hand, you need to keep a watch on Macrumors usually to find out when you should get any of those Apple products, so that you'll see the longest possibility of not buying too close to a new release. Still. As I say. Never buy until it has the specs and/or performance that will satisfy you. Then throw away the envy, because you know something better will always come out, later. However, if it doesn't do what you want it to do, steer clear. Even if it means you avoid Apple stuff for a while.

Investment-wise. There's not a lot you can buy, better than Gold. Just about anything you can buy for a house or personal belongings depreciates more than that.

[Palle]

I guess it depends on your investment attitude, but personally I've always had better luck in foreign exchange rather than commodities. The appreciation of my investments has more than covered the cost of the MBPs I've picked up since then.

Plus the MBPs do stuff, like Outrider said.

[Outrider]

Yeah, gold's actually not a great investment, despite what the teevee might say.

Quote all that with just a one liner?

Eh... probably not.

[Leviathan]

I will gladly take the PS3 controller and LoZ Wii.

[PwNeR]

In all seriousness, when I saw the thread title I thought you meant Xbox Live Gold.

I should focus more on school than video games.

[W0LB0T]

I wonder what is more useless, Xbox live gold, or an iPad.

[TalHex]

Probably xbox live gold. When it comes to a matter of life and death at least you can throw the iPad at somebody.

[HAYABUSA-FMW-]

XBLOX Live card, save some money style came in the plastic thing that can cut your ass when you try to open it. Clearly never for kids or emo peoples.

Well it says Facebook/Twitter/Last.Fm/Netflix on the front, so maybe it is for the emo people scene kids. :( :cry: :p

I dunno - it seems like they're porting it to everything these days.

I just want a running computer that works great and yes I'll take a gold PS3 & PSP lol.

(off topic)Google *Gold Plated* in images theres a lot of stuff in there. From computers to cars even a toilet.(off topic)

From computers to cars even a toilet.(off topic)
Conducts electrici-tah on them circuits boarders.

Japanese food maker guy
(Andrew Ziggyer-bald-head-man visited to try his one meal a day curry souper plate of vitality)
with his face on the package, food he doesn't even eat - most of them snacks, wacky inventor had the million dollar bathroom gold plated or probably full solid gold toilet. He felt he's earned it.

Lotsa good thinking going on in there, or with his swimming pool sessions, taking waterproof paper and just a regular pencil(?) down there to make sure if he gets a "good idear" down there, hes prepared.

Also must be a pro at the write-stroke freestyle off the dome cap.

-

Singapore jewelry store or something had the most expensive bathroom anywhere counted. Prob made gold bathroom stocks rise in what's that one place, Dubai? Or oil barons, princes and such out that way so their bathrooms will be on the next lifestyles of the spend too much on a toilet. It's really: "Ya'll, all of ya'll all over - everyone wipes their butts with banana leaves in the end."
