Apple has taken that method and applied it to their products: “Leave important shit out, and put it into the next generation – that’s how you turn one hit product into two!”

Since they are the greatest marketer in the world right now, it is working for them. Unfortunately, if you have half a brain, you should realize that you’re just being manipulated into giving them money. I bet Gen3 iPads will add a USB so you can rebuy those too.

Say no to Apple telling you what you need!

Obviously Apple hired Justin Long to represent them and make them look cool, but we all know what Apple users really look like!

There is a serious misconception out there, mostly driven by Steve Jobs’ misleading ads, that Apple is a good company, with your interests at heart when in fact it is driven by profit and Steve Jobs’ ego-maniacal need to out-do Bill Gates.

Bill Gates, along with his good friend Warren Buffett are both known to be extremely generous and philanthropic individuals, giving a lot of their time and money to charity and to the benefit of improving humanity as a whole.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett take that charity to the next level with The Giving Pledge, which urges Billionaire families and individuals to donate the majority of their wealth to Philanthropy.

The list includes 40 families and individuals, and also includes fellow Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen. Now, do you see Steve Jobs on that list? I don’t think so. Apple doesn’t do that stuff, is apparently the response. There are very little recorded charitable gifts, if any, on record by Steve Jobs and his wife – in fact, the only ones recorded are political donations to the Democrats.

Let’s face it, Steve Jobs, ergo Apple, doesn’t give a shit about humanity. In the end, Steve Jobs will be just some guy that created a gadget that will get lost in the folds of time, but Bill Gates’ foundation (along with Warren Buffett, who announced he will give 99% of his fortune to Philanthropy) will have helped millions if not billions of people ultimately, and help change the world in a positive way forever.

The iPhone accounts for 40% of Apple’s revenues.. if we all refuse to buy them, we can then eagerly await the fall of Apple once again! I do remember when all the schools were preaching Mac’s like they were the next big thing, and then they faded into oblivion. It will happen again..

Actually, I think the iPhone is a pretty cool little gadget and toy, but that’s all it is. I use a Berry for business – it gets the job done.

I just love how someone left it in a restaurant somewhere and they scored it and took it apart to anazlyze it! Apple now knows who NOT to trust with their prototypes.

Apple has been trying to capitalize on users upgrading to Windows 7 by telling them that they should just switch to Mac instead if they are switching… however, convincing users to buy a $1299 Mac when all they were gonna do was spend $120 on Windows is pushing it. Especially when you can get an new PC and windows combined for half the price of an iMac, with similar specs.

While that might seem childish, its a matter of principles for me. And now, Motley Fool even agrees with me that Steve is a Jerk.

Basically my problem was this: Any sort of FTP or HTTP Browser window or connection attempt that was made would fail 50% of the time. So I would open FTP and try to connect and it would fail. Internet Explorer was the same way. Every once in a while when I opened a new Explorer Window (Not Tab) it would just not work, and I would have to open another one. This was fine with IE7 because each tab is the same process and does not open a new TCP/IP Connection. IE8 runs each tab separately to insulate other tabs from crashes which also means that every tab I open has a 50% chance of the connection failing… a bit problematic when you are doing a lot of browsing.

So.. after weeks of searching on and off for the answer, I finally started noticing that there was this nDNSResponder.exe that was taking up a few ports and decided to check out what it is… Bonjour for Windows… made by APPLE. Perhaps an attempt by Steve Jobs to piss off a few PC Users, or the typically buggy update that Apple releases.. oh yes, Apple releases tons of buggy updates. Much more than Microsoft IMO. I close iTunes and BAM!!! Problem solved! Unfortunately, now with Bonjour deactivated, my itunes will not load. Also a bit problematic as I need itunes to update my iPod. Well.. I think I might just have to competely boycott Apple now as they are a peice of shit company that puts out software that screws everyone’s shit up.
