This is an apple rant thread. We'd appreciate you taking your rationallity and objeciveness elsewhere. Thank you.

Yep. Which is why I own a 360, iPhone, and iMac (going to be replaced by a MBP sooner or later). It's also why I don't own a Zune or AppleTV.
Screw companies. I judge things based on the product.
Or check out my new webcomic: http://selfcentent.com/
Both the Ipod and the Zune suck ass. I bought a PSP so I could play video games too and have flash memory.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson
apple is shit =(.
my ipod died 3 times, it wouldn't charge and i couldn't access the files.
in a YEAR!.

The product is only half the problem. The other half is the customer service I received telling me to pay 44$ to get my songs back.
BTW: while I understand that you've had nothing but good experiences, I have had many bad ones.
IMac that wouldn't go past the startup screen (where it loads the apps) and was in black and white for some reason. I sent it out for repair (after waiting 7 weeks for 2 delivery screwups to get the damn thing in the first place). Repair said there was nothing wrong and sent it back. THanks Apple! When I get it back, it still is doing the same thing. I tried different outlets, tried my neighbors outlet, everything. Shit still didn't work. Then, three days later it starts working again. That's quality.
CD-Rom sometimes did not detect CD and I had to eject and re-insert.
Cryptic error messages with no fixes.
No games library
God forbid I had an essay due and my Mac crapped out. I'm not seeing the paper for another week.
3 dead Ipods, each of them only lasted about 2 years.
40GB original, a nano, and (correction) 2 shuffles.
Quicktime unpackaged itself the first time I tried to use it and it corrupted my RAID volume. Almost lost 800GB of data.
ITunes always loses track of where files are. Deletes my playlists from time to time, and generally slows shit to a crawl when it decides to (not all the time).
My first Mac also died when I got to the fourth level of Prince of Persia when I was 6.
I have NEVER had anything else fail me like these products have.
I had an HP that was troublesome until I cleaned out all the unnessesary processes and bootup programs. -easy fix
PS2 cd-rom motor started skipping after 6 years. - easy fix
The only other thing that has ever given me any trouble is one that might affect some of you guys. It is a .dll called JMicron and it is responsible for many errors in Windows, from HD error, to problems with internet connection and wireless detection. Finding out that this .dll was responsible took me about a year to figure out, and if you look online for wireless detection problems or "dropped internet" You will go through 500 pages before you find it.
This is the kind of frustration I have with Apple products. Maybe I just have a curse that causes me and Apple to be incompatible...

It seems you are the must unlucky Apple user I have ever heard of. I would stay away from there products.
Out of curiosity, what kind of RAID setup did you have on your Apple? I have a Raid 5 setup in my home (3TB), and use Windows Server 2008. Much better server solution then a Mac.
You just broke the thread page!!
Edit: Nevermind it seems to be back to normal.
nono the RAID is on my PC. I understand that it was probably the PC's fault, but it has performed flawlessly until I thoughtlessly gave apple another shot. This was me:
"Hmmm I really want to see what this file is....but...it's quicktime..." "Whatever I'll give it a shot" click - computer shuts off seconds later.
It's a RAID 0 but I think I'm going to change it soon. I'm probably going to change it to a 5 and get 2 10kRPM drives to act as a raid 0.
@sethnintendo
If this thread were made by Apple, I would have never been able to fix it lol
