We Want Apple Hungary

wewantapplehungary.com — Hungarian supporters of the Apple Macintosh have decided to stand up and beg for Apple to open offices in Hungary and support the country as well. They want to use iTunes Store, buy music legally, want to use the Macs in their home language and so on. This is their website. Please support them.

  • buuundy, on 03/17/2008, -12/+29Tökjó! Remélem elérünk ezzel valamicskét, mégha nincs is sok remény ;)
    • Djokuuskaj, on 03/17/2008, -5/+2hol vagy magyarorszagban? aszt hittem en vagyok az egyetlen magyar digg-en, de persze moscow-ba vagyok :(
    • Sil369, on 03/17/2008, -2/+18WUT¿
    • debuggercll, on 03/17/2008, -5/+64Your moon language is silly.
    • sexybobo, on 03/17/2008, -2/+21Holy crap do a whois on the domain it is owned by an apple subsidiary.
    • RomulusX86, on 03/17/2008, -0/+9For those that don't know, Woz was in Budapest (capital of Hungary) a couple of months ago...

    • mikev, on 03/17/2008, -1/+9Comment hijack...
      there is something similar for greece. http://www.wewantapplegreece.com/
    • Sil369, on 03/17/2008, -2/+4All your apple belong to us.
    • jonnyfatman, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3I've been in an Apple reseller store in Budapest. It's on Andrassy Utca. It's not like macs aren't available in Hungary, you just all have to make a pilgrimage to the (probably) single store in the country.
    • Harbinger67, on 03/17/2008, -4/+8I don't understand what you're saying, so I must assume you are a terrorist.
    • starkruzr, on 03/17/2008, -2/+2Seriously, why does Magyar appear to have no cognates WHATSOEVER with English? They didn't import ANY words? I know that it is part of a language branch that includes only itself and Finnish, but come on. The letters at least roughly correspond to the same phonemes. There should be at least a few technical words that appear vaguely similar.
      • aristotle0dude, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2Estonian is also in the same language group.
      • metapop, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2there are several words-
        sex/szex (pronounced the same)
        computer/komputer
        any hungarians know of any other ones? kicsit beszelek magyarul :(
      • fogtunder, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1maybe that's because you've only heard people speaking in hungarian in movies, where they actually don't speak in hungarian. there are a whole bunch of words, that are almost the same, especially about science/computers/marketing. those words were adopted, or based on the same latin words as they are in english.
        • starkruzr, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1No, this is based on experience I had living in Hungary for a couple weeks after I graduated undergrad. I swear I never saw any words that even vaguely resembled English.
      • ipodman715, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2It's pretty much an isolate language (like finnish).

        Wikipedia: "Due to the Ugric heritage, Hungarian often sounds completely foreign to speakers of Indo-European languages. It is commonly estimated to be one of the hardest of European languages for foreigners to learn well."
    • moxx, on 03/17/2008, -0/+12Should have made it "Hungary For Apples"
      • iwantamonkey, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Yeah someone really dropped the ball there.
    • greedz, on 03/17/2008, -3/+1ENGLISH ***** ! DO YOU SPEAK IT ?!

    • joebaloney, on 03/17/2008, -1/+0Would have helped if the title was "Hungary for Apple"
    • Rauby, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1Neee, that will not happen.

  • SeaweedWater, on 03/17/2008, -4/+25granny or red delicious?
  • InsolentD, on 03/17/2008, -11/+3csak ezért csináltam Digg accountot :)
  • MattJF317, on 03/17/2008, -4/+92Give them Apples... they're Hungary Steve...
    • Atomic1fire, on 03/17/2008, -4/+1Magyarország van Éhes részére Alma?
      Poorly translated like support from india
  • bogdan77, on 03/17/2008, -4/+26The same situation is in Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia. Too bad...
    • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -0/+6Globalization. Expoliting cheap workforce from Eastern Europe, economical colonization, but still we want Apple to come :)
    • wwwluckyro, on 03/17/2008, -8/+3Sounds like a bunch of crappy countries that Apple doesn't give a ***** about.

      Yeah, I'm from Romania.
    • zokiboy, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2In Croatia too :(
    • maxplace207, on 03/17/2008, -4/+2the fact is that east-european markets are just waaaay too small and too poor. and honestly, the biggest part of the population there has hardly ever heard of apple. besides that, as i sad, they are still to poor... I´m from serbia.
    • Rauby, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2We want in Slovenia to.. Good damn!!
    • exeprime, on 03/20/2008, -1/+1Lies. I live in decently big [but not one of the biggest] city in Romania and we have an authorized Apple reseller. I suppose you could prolly find one in every big city.
      • bogdan77, on 03/22/2008, -0/+2It's not about resellers here, dude. It's about Apple Inc. itself being here in Romania, for honest prices, identical with the prices they pay in Western Europe, without the third party adding their 10 or 20 percents.
  • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -10/+3Klikkó'tam én is, csak hogy ne kelljen az Apple-fanboy haverok sírását hallgatni ^.^
  • protodon, on 03/17/2008, -3/+15 Me Hungary Want Apple... am I the only retard on here why didn't anyone else do this yet?
    • 2h3px, on 03/17/2008, -1/+9I read it as "We Want Apple, Hungry!" in like a monster voice, but same difference.
  • 3dogmama, on 03/17/2008, -9/+2Hungary is hungry for apple! Feed 'em Steve!
  • Djokuuskaj, on 03/17/2008, -7/+1haha, meg hogyha ide is jonnek, windows-ot hasznalok.

    Vigyen engem -hoz a liliom megfog És üt én ostoba.
  • willynilly, on 03/17/2008, -9/+26Ugh. Why are people who have been spurned by a company now begging to give it their money?
  • StevesJobs, on 03/17/2008, -2/+22And we want iPhones in Canada.
    • zman14321, on 03/17/2008, -0/+4WIth the new iPhone hacked 2.0 firmware you'll have them soon, and better than if apple were to give you them. Good Luck!
    • MrHoopla, on 03/17/2008, -2/+1This is not about Canadia.
    • mbradbury, on 03/17/2008, -1/+4And Australia
      • ryanonfire, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2I heard they coming late March
        • LennyX, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1That'd be right.. I just ordered one from PriceUSA on Friday.
        • StevesJobs, on 03/18/2008, -0/+0Did you now?

  • tgunner, on 03/17/2008, -11/+7*Buy* music you say?
  • seanc6610, on 03/17/2008, -3/+15I'm shocked by how many Hungarian diggers there are; or at least how many people here speak Hungarian.
    • SkepticJoker, on 03/17/2008, -0/+9www.freetranslation.com man.
    • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2Actually very few of them are active users.
    • ZeRux, on 03/17/2008, -1/+2Welcome to the Internet, the place where you can find people from all countries on the world...except Cuba, North Korea and maybe a few more. It's a wierd place, I know.
  • poisonborz, on 03/17/2008, -1/+25I'm from Hungary, but are partly ashamed by this site... I mean, "we ***** believe in you"...come on.
    The LOWEST price of ANY Macbook here is around 1700$ and for that, you get little to no support at all.
    (support is managed by a *lebanese* company for the whole region)
    • MaxPayne3476, on 03/17/2008, -3/+2Did anyone read is "Support is managed by a lesbian company for the whole region"

      Then think... nice :)
  • DBNKR, on 03/17/2008, -2/+5"This is because we ***** believe in you."
  • AutumnWindz, on 03/17/2008, -13/+3This is stupid *****. Buried.
  • zman14321, on 03/17/2008, -6/+2hol vagy magyarorszagban? aszt hittem en vagyok az egyetlen magyar digg-en, de persze moscow-ba vagyok :(
  • Atomic1fire, on 03/17/2008, -1/+1plant more appleseed
  • shownoregrets, on 03/17/2008, -2/+10OM NOM NOM NOM
  • rjinswand, on 03/17/2008, -3/+7Dugg, My father was Hungarian and an ancestor of mine was killed as he led the revolution to rid the country of monarchy so i suppose i should show some pride in my heritage... on Digg... lol
    • funkydude101, on 03/17/2008, -2/+8Pride? Really? Over this?
    • Avangel, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1:D That's good :D Here in my town we are really proud of that revolution...maybe you should come here to hungary just to dig your ancestors ;)
  • SkepticJoker, on 03/17/2008, -7/+1While I totally support this, I feel bad about the fact that we're treating it like a foreign crisis, like Genocide or AIDS.

    If these people live well enough to even afford a computer, they don't need our help.
    • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2You can eat and live cheap because your investors capital makes profit here (and other "less" developed countries around the world) and that profit just goes back over the Ocean that instant.
  • NLS87, on 03/17/2008, -16/+3Stupid gay hungarian mac assholes!!!

    Build yer own computers and contribute to Linux!

    • RomulusX86, on 03/17/2008, -1/+3Buddy, OS X is basically UNIX.
    • MrHoopla, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2You'd like that you fat *****.
    • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -0/+3There's a hungarian linux distro called UHU Linux (uhu it the sound that owls make :P) , plus there's a "famous" kernel hacker who's hungarian (Ingo Molnar), and every major distro has hungarian localization support. :P
    • sndr, on 03/17/2008, -0/+2Hungarians made history in computing, smartass.
  • FredFredrickson, on 03/17/2008, -10/+9Oy... why would you beg a company to start selling $3k computers in your country? Trust me guys - they aren't worth begging for.
    • MaxPayne3476, on 03/17/2008, -2/+5They really are.... not $3000. Just for the Mac Pro. This guys a retard.

      Macbook Pro FTW
    • PAStheLoD, on 03/17/2008, -3/+2one word: iphone :]
    • FredFredrickson, on 03/17/2008, -1/+3I work on a Mac 8 hours a day, and trust me - there are better things out there (and for free).
    • chewbie, on 03/17/2008, -0/+1actually since the domain is owned by an apple subsidiary, it's probably a marketing hoax.
      and apple here in Hungary is the brand for snobs. The glowing apple is what gets them, I swear to god!
  • connorf, on 03/17/2008, -3/+2Go to the hardware section on the page and apple is selling outdated hardware to Hungary. (Outdated in the US at least).
  • KevinRoseMustDy, on 03/17/2008, -5/+4A better title would've been 'We are Hungary and we want Apple' or 'Hungary for Apple' or even 'So Hungary... Got Apple?'
    • Spottswood, on 03/17/2008, -2/+2yes because nobody has ever heard the tasteful hungary-hungry pun
      and look at all the original title names you came up with, oh you're so witty.
      te lófasz
  • chriskatona, on 03/17/2008, -3/+0Remek ötlet !! 1.Dec.2008 ra haza is megyek !!
  • DarkSamus, on 03/17/2008, -2/+4finally, those option characters have a purpose!
  • soundofmind, on 03/17/2008, -4/+1They should have named the site hungaryforapples.com
  • mannymix03, on 03/17/2008, -4/+1I'd say they are hungary for some apple

    /sadpun
  • deadnelsons, on 03/17/2008, -10/+1***** foreigners. It's a Chinese product, have you no shame.

  • wwwluckyro, on 03/17/2008, -16/+6I am such a racist bastard I'm burying every comment that is in hungarian.

    • RomulusX86, on 03/17/2008, -0/+9Ha, I'll feel bad for you in 25 years when half the world is going to be speaking Chinese.
    • chewbie, on 03/17/2008, -3/+3actually I'm in hungary right now and still burying every comment only in hungarian.
      I'm hungarian too, not a tourist :P

  • peterinjapan, on 03/17/2008, -2/+5I now know how to say "store" in Hungarian: Bolt.
