More Signs of the Apple Apocalypse
A few
days ago
I blogged about how
I think Apple, Inc has
begun to lose its way. Well not 2 days later, they
actually used their “Hot News” RSS
feed to relay
A tip of the Week, which is
nice, right?
Sadly, it only helped me to prove a point. Check
out this page it
linked to. See the weekly tips? For Leopard as I
write this, there’s about 6 tips for Leopard. Now
I’m no math whiz, but since leopard’s been out for
4 whole months, shouldn’t there be 16 tips of the
week? Not 6? What the hell.
But it gets worse. Apple also recently released new
MacBooks & MacBook Pros. Little speed bumps, not
a bad update overall, except for one glaring
shortfall: Apple’s laptops have been equipped with a
remote for about the last two years. That’s great and
all, I don’t use mine because it’s sort of useless to
me, BUT –
They went from making it an included peripheral, to
charging you an extra $19 for it with this iteration
of their MacBook lineup.
Know what? F*ck you, Apple. F*ck your remote. F*ck
your muther-f*cking remote control, no one really
cares about it anyway. It’s got like 6 buttons, and
most of them are completely useless anyway. I hope
your remote burns in freaking
fruit-hell. Not even
sure if that exists, but damn I hope it does, just
for your stupid $19 remote control. So it can rot
there,
alone. Maybe
with a Zune for added punishment. What the hell were
you thinking? Know how many you’re going to sell? 2.
One for Steve Jobs, one for Walt Mossberg. That’s it.
A**holes.
There, I feel a smidgeon better now.
