APPLES PRODUCTS ARE ROTTEN  by Norm 5/26/2009 at 14:57
Apple has become so stale and predictable it is actually laughable. I was reading the specs for the new iPod the other day and guess what: it has a built-in camera! YAY! Does anyone know what the difference is between an iPod and an iPhone anymore?

Apple seems to think that every device they sell should: Make calls, send texts, play movies/music, take pictures, and run their "apps" (of course!). Whatever happened to just having a phone? An MP3 player? A camera? I've never understood why anyone would want one device which does each thing mediocre instead of simply buying each thing separate and each device doing a kick-ass job at what it does. For the price of an iPhone you can get a killer MP3 player, a decent camera, and a good phone. And if you drop your phone in the toilet whilst making a urinal cake donut, you're only out the phone.

In fairness, cramming 10 functions into (1) device isn't exactly exlcusive to Apple. They've just made it the "norm", and for that they are supreme douches.

The real reason Apple sucks balls is because they have fed on the stupidity of the average person. Instead of offering an mp3 player with a lot of options in the UI, and a wide range of support for file formats, they force this piece of shit down your throat that forces you to use their gay iTunes software and anti-piracy system (DRM), and force you into managing your media the way they think you should (using various meta-tags and stupid databases all over the place). Why? Because the average tool can't fuck this up.

Then on top of that, they make the battery almost impossible to replace (and they die within a year), the audio quality sucks, and it's a pain in the ass to share files between computers. Don't even think about sharing files between iPods. And what's with the control wheel? How do I change songs or navigate without pulling the thing out of my pocket and looking at it? Isn't that the point of it being so small and portable in the first place?

So what's stupid about that? Well, first and foremost there are far better media players available at a fraction of the cost. They might not come in white though. And guess what, the other players actually support 3rd party music stores, so you don't have to give Apple money everytime you want to buy a song (iTunes). It's sad when Microsoft has a better MP3 player (Zune) than Apple. So just imagine how kick-ass some of the 3rd party players are. Pull your head out of your ass and look before you stand in line with the other sheeple and buy an iPod.

What's next? Apple puts out this $600 phone that has a touch screen, and acted like they were the first to do it. Sorry Apple, but touch screen phones were already available, so were phones with integrated GPS. But you Apple whores ate it up. And now Apple has a huge new revenue stream feeding off people buying the "Apps".

Want to look at the PC market? Apple doesn't license their hardware. They are the only ones who manufacture and sell it. This makes it easy for them to write software that runs decent on their hardware. So, maybe you get a 10% stability bonus because the NAZI's are running things. In the PC world, things are open. You have hundreds, maybe thousands, of choices for every component you choose to put in your system. You can build it from the ground up to fit YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS. There is competition driving down prices, and increasing quality. And even with all the possible combinations of hardware available, Microsoft has delivered an OS from day one that for the most part would always run. (Typically, believe it or not, when Windows did have problems it was because hardware manufacturers operated outside of the specifications, not because Windows was not designed properly). And guess what, if you don't like Windows, you can install Linux!

Why do people think PC's suck and Mac's are better? Well, most people own a PC. If you just do the math, that means more stupid people also own a PC. So you take a bunch of fucktards and give them any computer, they'll find a way to break it. Now more people have problems with PC than Mac. Well, that's obvious, right? More PC's physically exist, of course there are more problems! And what about viruses? Well if you were going to write a virus, would you write it for the platform that has 80% of the market, or the one that has 15%? So more PC's = more people reporting problems, and more viruses, than Apple can claim. It really isn't an indication of "quality" in any way.

That's Apple's game. They control the hardware, and don't license it. They control the software, and they only open it to people willing to open their wallets. They control the content (apps, music, tv, movies). They enforce their own censorship on said content. This is how they get away with their service sucking so hard, YOU DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

If you have seen the new commercial in the PC vs. Mac series, a bunch of PC's are standing in a line on the left, a girl (Megan) is in the middle, and Mac is on the right. All of the PC's have to leave because of various stereotyped reasons (too slow, crashes too much, etc). Mac is left standing and gets to "date" Megan. This is cute. I'd like to see the real version of this commercial made. It goes something like this:

PC on the left. Megan in the center. Mac on the right. Several of PC's have to step out of the line because they aren't Megans type. You see, Megan is a real bitch and she thinks her shit doesn't stink. But being nice guys and all, they leave quietly. One PC leaves because he's more of a "blonde" guy. The remaining PC steps out of the frame, upgrades his video card and a few other components, retrieves a sweet new battle rifle from one of the newly released PC exclusive videogames, steps back into the scene and mows Mac down. Then he slaps that bitch Megan across the face, rips her shirt open and licks her tit, then looks into the camera and says "Stop being such a smug hippy pussy. Get a PC".
