Apple Sucks! : The Catalyst
Someone seems upset about iTunes raising their prices.

The Unofficial Apple Weblog is a great site to check out for Apple news, and in this article they’ve shared what they believe are the most desired ‘fixes’ for Apples iPod Touch and iPhone.
So Apple, how about them? Are you listening? ;)
Yes, I already mentioned the problems with the new iMacs a few days ago, but I thought I should alert you to a website that has been built in honor of the damaged screens and yellow tinted displays.
Apple has also apologized for not taking timely action with these issues (shipments are late), and is currently working on rectifying the situation.
Here’s to hoping they don’t try to shut some people up like in the past.
You make a great point, Ryan. Don’t Apple computers ‘just work’?
Sure blows a hole in that argument. :)
The new HUGE (27 inch) iMac computers seem to be having some troubles with displays that flicker and produce a slight yellow tinge. If you’ve gotten one of the newer models recently, you may want to get it checked out before the problems get just as bad for you.
Seems to me that these gianormous monitors might not be so awesome after all.
Here’s a funny video of a few guys having trouble doing something as simple as changing an icon on a Mac.
Why Mac Sucks (via oasisfleeting)
Has your beloved Time Capsule died recently? Do you wish to give it a good, proper memorial service and share your loss with your friends?
Now you can!
At the Time Capsule Memorial Register you can join more than 1700 other people who have lost their Time Capsules for seemingly unknown reasons.
Thanks to Giorgio Marrale.
Apparently, Apple has a tendency to discriminate against smokers who use their product. According to this story, if you are a smoker, and a Mac owner, you can kiss your warranty repairs good bye.
Well, in a few cases at any rate. Certainly this doesn’t happen every day, but it’s a bit disconcerting to find that it has happened at all.
I wonder what would happen if other companies took up the same practice.
The Harvard Business Review goes into some detail as to why Apple may fall on it’s face again as Google strike’s at the companies Achilles Heel.
In the past we’ve seen Apple rise triumphantly against other companies as a pioneer in computer systems, and then fall quite epically to no-name status. Today we see them rising again to be the best-of-the-best in mobile device computing….
And yet here is HBR saying that they’re about to fall once again. I wonder what will happen in coming months to our beloved fruit.
Giorgio Marrale seems to be having some trouble with a majority of his Apple products (Time Capsule and 13” Macbook). It’s a strange coincidence indeed when most of the ‘elite’ products that you’ve bought from a company end up dieing within a couple of years of their first use.
He has an interesting quote at the end as well, saying:
‘ Many Apple owners I happen to know have one thing in common, they don’t dare to admit that Apple sucks, because to them there are no alternatives.’What a sad thing to admit. Thanks for taking a stang and saying something, Giorgio.
