Re: Ohhhh...

Skeletor would have been proud of your blind obedience.

Gone in a month

We just took over a small company with 50 mac's that we turned into scrap within 4 weeks. No good to man nor beast.

I did say - "even when healthy"

Mick F

Action Figure!?

What did it do - wheeze?

Never seen such an inactive person in my life. Even when healthy he made skeletons look fit.

Mick F

Really really

Happy to take a photograph any day of the week. The staff are easily identified as they are in the majority.

Even on a Saturday it's not "busy".

Mick F

really?

The Salisbury reseller has more staff than costumers. Pass it every day watching them busy doing nothing.

Stealing Samsung's ideas

Wonderful but...

I need the opposite "primer". Want to move my iTunes library back to my PC.

Got rid of my Mini (crap machines) and will be getting rid of my MBP in the coming months. Tried Apple and happily moved back.

@skeptical

I have a developer friend who made the mistake of getting an iPhone. Once he realised the massive limitations inflicted by Apple he hated the phone - until he he jailbroke it and was allowed to set it up how he wanted (and not just pages of icons).

I agree iPhones for the iDiots.

Mick F

No Thanks

Will wait for the jailbreak.

WTF?

How Much!!??

ViewSonic it is then.

You wouldn't if you had a Mac

Nope, nothing on a Mac can stop real hackers getting through!

Repair Costs

My problem with Mac's is the repair cost outside of warranty, may as well just throw it away.

My MBP has a dodgy "superdrive", Apple wanted over £250 to repair it. The drive (which they won't sell separate) can be purchased for around £50.

Won't get fooled again.

Ads? We don't need no stinking Ads!

Thankfully, I just add an HOSTS file to my current Android build and ALL the add disappear!!

Another OS X surge

Skeletor will not be happy!

Try restarting

Even better! we sold it. Somebody was mug enough.

Still idiots interested in buying 3G's

My partner upgraded her 3G to 4.01 - it was CRAP. Managed to sell it on eBay for £190.

insulting or ignorant?

I'll go with both.

Mick F

This is surely an anti-fanbois wet dream...

no - just a massive design flaw

3g with IOS4 sux

So slow it is unusable. Reverting back to 3.x

Updated 3G

Just updated a 3G. Those amazing "folders" are so limited they are hardly worth including. Usual half arsed update.

Mick F

iPhones are now as capable as Android 2.1?

No, they are not.

Mick F

Usual overpricing

If you are mental enough to pay for Mobileme then it can easily be picked up for £40 on ebay - but still, the question is why would you bother at those over inflated prices.

I did use it for a year but there are better alternatives for free and I didn't see the need to keep funding Steve's stylish outfit's.

Can be hard to beat the old model

The old model overheated and was poorly designed to stop people upgrading themselves. The internal power supply is still a massive mistake.

Mick F
WTF?

Emulation

Is that why Apple are being investigated by the ITC for copying HTC? iPhone's are yesterdays jam.

Android Solution - AdFree

Runs on any rooted Android phone and is easily updated.

@Subban - on what grounds?

You are right - no-one gives a toss about Apple.

Apple, stealing ideas?!! You sure!!??

Skeletor owns everything so it's not stealing.

How long

The age of steel dawns

"We have several more extraordinary products in the pipeline for this year," Mr Jobs added, who also owns Cybus Industries.

EarPods, used extensively in the place of MP3 players and mobile phones, allowing information to be directly downloaded into people's heads.

An upgrade to humanity and the ultimate move into cyberspace, allowing the brain to survive in an ageless steel body? Delete all those deemed incompatible with the upgrade.

iWi-Fi booster?

I bet there'll be a $200 addon coming soon!

best geek phone? yes

Interest in the iDon't is stumbling and it is not a geek phone - it is only a fashion accessory.

The great thing about Android - no Apple thought police!!! No lock in to iTunes and a simple setting to be able to install what you want from wherever you want.

Get fed up with the look & feel of the OS then it is simple to root & replace with a different developers ROM, not just stuck with the same tired interface with lots of pages of icons and iAd's to make things worse.

fear?

I'll buy a pad one day - but it will have Android on and, like the phones, will be dominating Apple in a very short space of time.

Would never waste my money on another Apple product.

Mick F
WTF?

Why?

Just get a decent phone in the first place.

Mick F

Another Mystery

I also got suckered by the Apple BS.

Happily back on W7 now but keep my MacBook Pro as it is the best Windows gaming laptop I have seen.

Mick F

Even more people would pay for apps if Google would allow them to???

There are more ways to install apps than just the market place. You can install whatever you want from whatever source. This is not Apple crap!!!

Try SlideME, GetJar or Handago.

Not odd...

I own and use Apple kit but the production is now so poor and the lock-in so restrictive that I no longer give a toss about them.

Android Alt

Just started using the built in Android/Google Maps navigation. Works flawless without extra hardware (only a standard window mount) or expensive software.

@Andrij

But M$ don't make such a song and dance about it "just working" - or not in this case.

A known bug since 2007 - that is fucking epic!!!

why would you bother...

writing a virus for an OS with less than 5% market share?

iScratch

That screen will last minutes and Apple will do their usual disclaimer.

Still have not thought of a single reason for buying one.

New Footage?

I guess they just went back into the studio and filmed it on new cameras.
