The only time I don't have a computer in front of me is when I'm driving. I don't have any use for a mobile device besides being able to call or text someone. Unlike the average teenager, I have no need to update my facebook every 5 minutes.
You're wildly behind the times. Apple continues to grow by leaps and bounds and will likely be the largest PC manufacturer in America within 5 years.

Plus more and more businesses are switching to Apple.
Forrester Research estimates that Apple will sell $9 billion in Macs and $10 billion in iPads to corporations this year, up 50% from 2011. Forrester anticipates spending on PCs and tablets made by other companies will decline by 3% to $69 billion.
Whether you like them or not they are the most successful PC company in the world and everyone copies them. I applaud their patent efforts and hope they rip Samsung a new one. People who buy Samsung products should be ashamed to support such a blatant ripoff artist. At the very least they should offer their products for $50, like the fake Rolex you buy on the street. It's not like they have a lot of R&D costs. At most the few hundred dollars it costs them to buy a new iDevice and copy it outright.
