I have been a long time apple buyer for wellover 6 years now. I buy several rather high ticket items each year and I have been finding that year after that apple ahs slowly started to fail their buyers. My first and second ipod(2nd and 3rd gen) came with every accesory imaginable. Cords that were 3 feet long anf leather carry cases were the standard. Now apple makes it seem like your lucky to get headphones with your mp3 player. The ipods dont last as long as they use to, their programs that they realease are not ready to be used and their laptops ahve all these fancy gismos that dont work like their spose to. More and more I am questoning where I want to spend my money, and more and more I am considering switching back to pc

It's easy to have super high quality standards when you sell 10 000 units of "whatever" a year. However, failure rates can get a little higher when you produce more.

I'm curious. What do you do with you iPods that kill them? If you're using them while skiing, running, etc, get a nano, they're pretty much indestructable. What laptops "gizmos" that don't work? My MacBook's iSight, 2 finger scrolling, 2 finger right click, photobooth, and everything else, work super well. As for not getting an AC charger with iPods, ya, that's fucking gay. Having to buy a square of plastic with prongs at one end and a USB plug at the other (for the USB cable that came with your iPod, so they don't give you another one) is even fucking cheaper, but hey, you knew when you bought an iPod. The option is...well...is there another option? Not if you want an MP3 player that doesn't suck dick.

If microsoft's shit worked as well as Apple's, there'd be parades. Apple's stuff works, and people ask "why doens't it work better?". Being on top's a bitch, but being on the bottom sucks more.

I love all the little gizmo's on apple's, I even use the "voice recognition", it's pretty cool.
