Apple and their concern

Just a quick comment on my new discovery. I was going through The Guardian Media in the morning and I found the piece on Apple slandering Poland. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mediamonkeyblog/2012/mar/02/apple-poland-daily-star?INTCMP=SRCH Well, American giant went far too much, comparing their income to the national heritage. Lucky them, having half a trillion income, lucky them selling thousands tools a day... nevertheless, ''Apple is worth more than Poland'' ( 497$ bn annual income) is a bit awkward. You can not compare a country with a brand, in that negative way. And I know, it's true. A little bit of diplomacy would be thought much appreciated.
Apple never seemed good enough in PR and marketing (not responding to letters, tweets, complaints), never cared about the customers, now has gone further: they're forgetting about the audience, just after the Apple Store opened in Warsaw. Not the best publicity: myself, I'm regretting having an iPhone.

Szybki komentarz dotyczacy mojego nowego odkrycia. Przegladajac poranne wiadomosci The Guardian Media wpadlam na cudowny artykul poswiecony Apple, ktory skutecznie znizyl Polske do wartosci przedmiotu. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/mediamonkeyblog/2012/mar/02/apple-poland-daily-star?INTCMP=SRCH Amerykanski gigant posunal sie chyba za daleko. Szczeslwie, moga pochwalic sie 500 bilionami dolarow dochodu, szczesliwie sprzedaja tysiace, albo setki iPadow dziennie. Tak czy siak 'Apple warte jest wiecej niz cala Polska' (497 bilionow dolarow dochodu) brzmi niefortunnie. Nie porownuje sie kraju z tworca MacBooka w tak niefortunny sposob. I chociaz wiemy, ze to prawda, troche dyplomacji Apple zostaloby bardzo docenione.
Apple nigdy nie wydawalo sie mistrzem PR i marketingu. Nigdy nie odpisowalo na listy, posty na Twitterze i uwagi. Teraz poszli dalej, zapominajac o swoich potencjalnych klientach, swiezo po otwarciu salonu Apple w Warszawie. To chyba nie najlepsza reklama: ja sama zaczynam zalowac, ze kupilam iPhone'a.
