How much of an Apple Fanboy are you? [INFOGRAPHIC]

There are many different types of Apple fans. Young and old, the obsessed and the ones who just enjoy their products. But what does it take to call yourself a fanboy? I always thought it was anyone that blindly followed Apple and hated all other products. But now I define it as an appreciation for Apple and their high quality of engineering and ecosystem. So I'm happy to call myself one, but if you watch any of my older videos you will see me wholeheartedly rejecting being called a fanboy. 

Some people use the Apple "fanboy" stereotype in arguments as if to make their contender's opinion null and void but if anything it just proves that you have an appreciation for the product that they do not understand, and if their opinion is that strong against Apple then they are probably fanboys of the opposite side (Android) or just aren't very tech savvy.

So with that in mind let's take the test! Curetosy of Mackeeper.com

I scored a 75%, so I'm not stark raving mad about Apple, just a little obsessed. What did you score? Leave it in the comments below.

"Blue Busters" Long Lost Apple 80s TV Ad Shows them Taking on IBM in this Ghostbusters Spoof Featuring Steve Jobs

Despite being a teenager I absolutely love a splash of retro. That coupled with Steve Jobs and Ghostbusters equals a nerdgasm in any Apple fanboy's book. 

The TV ad shows Apple taking down the sinister looking IBM like their computers are the ghosts. Annoyed IBM customers call up Apple to exterminate their crappy, hard to use IBMs (that also have green goo coming out of them) and replace them with some swanky Apple computers. The 4 minute ad builds to a conclusion similar to that of the actual movie, with them destroying the IBM headquarters somehow at the top of the stairs on a roof. 

It features two cameos of Steve Jobs at  3:03 and 4:03 plus one of Steve Wozniak at 2:20.

So how Rich is Apple by the Numbers? [INFOGRAPHIC]

Apple has turned into a powerhouse of a company, but just how rich are they? This infographic flaunts their cash for the world to see.

Apple have some pretty impressive stats. They could RIM, Nokia, Twitter, Adobe, Netflix, and T-Mobile and still have cash leftover. Apple has also beat Wall Street estimates for 16 out of the last 17 quarters. 

So what do you guys think of the infographic? Yes I know we've seen ones like these before but this one is most certainly the most organised and pretty looking but for those of you that don't fancy reading I've included a video down below.

Inspirational Note Given to Apple Employees on First Day Shows Apple's a Company Like no Other

We always knew Apple was a company like no other to work for by their lines of eager workers applying for a position and this is more iceing on the cake. Just like the customers, Apple employees do not just have a job just like we are not just consumers, it's more of a community that shares the love of good products. So to prepare them for it they are greeted with an awesome inspirational card to help guide them throught their Apple career and even their lives. 

You do not have to be an Apple employee to take something from this note. It shows you have to do something you're passionate about and take risks, or you'll just end up another average Joe that works at a job they hate for cash to buy heaps of crap they don't need therefore making their life totally miserable. 

With my obsession for Apple products I always wanted to work at an Apple store but never really had a chance with being so young and with so many well-qualified individules lining up. This coupled with being rejected from every other job I applied to and the fact that I'm sick of being told what to do I realised that trying to work for the average convinience store was retarded.

I knew I was heavily glued into the YouTube network and was an expert on iDevices so I started what I loved and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Now I know that I'll never apply for one of those crappy jobs again. That's the sort of thing I think the note refers to and it heavily resonates with me. Now that I'm old enough I might still apply for a position and see where it gets me as I would love to be a part of the Apple Store staff and with my obvious expertise from my YouTube and knowing more about Apple products than most of the staff in there I think I have a good chance. Of cource though, even if at the tiny slither of a chance that I get accepted I will not let it stop me from making videos because I love it.
