You can't be serious...

Apple is the best company for laptops and that other kind of stuff, hands down.

[MattKanzler]

If all these products are crap to you, I would like to know what is not crap to you. And what your standards are

[Pandora01]

I love all my Apple products. Even though my 3G had some issues (some have been worked out and some I'm hoping will be fixed by a firmware update), the vast majority of the Apple products I have owned have been fabulous, including my current MacBook. I've had way more problems with my Windows machine at work than I've had with any Mac product.

Have you heard of Freedom of speech ?

If you don't like it, don't waste our time. There's no freedom of speech on a forum. You cannot post warez or torrents here, and you can't insult people.

Have you ever heard of STOP BASHING APPLE?

No problems here with my MBP.

Dear Sir,

I did not post warez, torrents and did not insult anyone.
I´m just saying that Apple is not giving us the hardware that once gave us!

I have, I'm just stating that your attempts to cover this topic on these forums havent been fruitful in the past so I don't understand why you keep trying to push the issue. Maybe try another forum that might be more receptive to your ideas.

I agree, the iphone although ahead by 1/2 a year at most of other phones, is ages behind other standard phones in some areas. Apple is trying to change the technology world by setting some kind of standard, that in their eyes, its the best. From different viewpoints, you could say this is a good thing, but in other eyes, its for the worse.

I was a die hard Windows user and my job requires that I use Windows machines. I even had a Windows Mobile 5 phone that I liked and developed software for.

My first Apple experience was when a couple of co-workers got original iPhones. Here I was with my Windows Mobile phone and saw how much easier the iPhone was to use and how stable it was. I wasn't ready for an iPhone yet, but I went ahead and purchased a 16GB iPod Touch and loved every minute of owning it. I eventually worked my way to an iPhone and my wife bought me an Apple TV for Christmas last year. My wife was looking to replace her Windows laptop and decided to buy a 20" iMac. I have gotten some time to play with it and it is impressive. I got my iPhone 3G a couple of weeks ago and my wife got the original iPhone. She even bought stock in Apple about a week ago.

My point is that compared to Windows, Windows Mobile, and Windows Media Center (which my Apple TV replaced), Apple products are way better from an experience stand point. Of course, this is my opinion, but my opinion was coming from a die hard Windows user and developer. I guess I just got to a point in my life where I simply wanted something that worked.

Even with all the glitches that Apple has had recently, my experience is still WAY better than any Microsoft product I owned ever produced. My challenge is to find something that works better even with current glitches.

Don´t get me wrong. Apple software is years ahead of Microsoft. In all aspects. I´m just complaining about the materials used for such expensive piece of hardware and the lack of quality control.

(We love Apple, don´t we?) let´s them know that we are not satisfied with these products (quality wise):)
