One cannot deny the quality of their products or the easy to use OS. One simply can't. My entire problem with Apple is about the devilishly inflated prices. I don't know how prices compare in other countries, but here Apple products cost at least three times the price of their counterparts. Most of the time, their hardware isn't even comparable to their counterparts. For instance, if an above-the-average Android phone with quite impressive hardware costs, say, 10 bucks (using totally made up representative numbers only, of course you don't get shit for 10 bucks, I don't need to be told); the Iphone 5 costs 30 to 35 with hardware barely matching such an Android phone.

When this is the case, people tend to hate the Apple nerds who can die for an Apple product and are totally oblivious to the huge pricing gap. And as this sentence suggests, the hate ends up being directed towards Apple fanboys.


Not sure if serious...more problems I've recently found while trying to get used to this iPhone my work gave me to play around with (since I now support apple products...grrr).

You can't mass delete voicemails.  This phone has 100s of voicemails from the previous owner.  To delete a voicemail I have to go into "edit" mode of voicemail (which is fine), but then I have to click the red minus sign to the left of the voicemail, and then click "delete" on the right side of the voicemail message.  I can't put a check mark next to each voicemail I wanted deleted and then at the end press "Delete".  I have to click twice on each voicemail I want to delete, for every single one listed.

Every single smart phone I've ever used, allowed you to delete voicemails or instant messages in a "mass" volume.  You put a check box next to the message or voicemail and then at the end choose "Delete all marked" or something similar.

Fuck apple products they suck and are overpriced.

depends on what you regard as a useful state :P Windows is perfectly fine for the avg person like me. Same as IE, it gets tons of shit but ive never had a problem with it because it does really just what i want it to which is browse websites. had to ditch it and get chrome as crpg website stopped working on IE O.o People who are into computers or programming etc will always moan about stuff like windows but you have to remember its just not made for you, Its made for people to use office and do random crap ^^

You can't do office with Windows. You have to buy/pirate and install MS Office or download and install OpenOffice or something similar. The only reason why people are content with Windows is because it comes pre-installed. But nowadays you can have that with Linux distributions, too, from many computer vendors. And then you can simply plug it in and do random crap like you can do on Windows.

No, there are only two reasons that can sometimes be used against Linux, and they are a) driver issues (sucks when hardware vendors don't provide drivers for Linux and some home programmer has to make his own) and b) gaming. The latter point might become less important in the future due to Valve's efforts. Which could later reduce the gravity of the first point as well.
