What do you think to Apple?

Wonder what other errors slipped past the proof reader... Maybe they meant 3,000. Or maybe they accidentally wrote fourth instead of first...

Maybe you havn't had an issue, but that writeup isnt rubbish... They arnt as well made as you seem to think. I know a few people with Apple product problems, and I only know a few people with apple products.

Out of interest, do you know what components are in your machine? monitor panel? Hmmm. If not who is to say they arnt cheaper ones? I cant imagine apple using top of the line components (motherboard, memory etc) when they have their market cornered, you cant get better or cheaper stuff from a 3rd party maker, cos Apple dont allow it.

BBC iPlayer is an utter p*ss-take. We lose the ability to watch programmes after 30 days so they can sell DVDs. How dare they? The BBC Trust should remember who paid for the creation of that content in the first place. And now we have to pay to keep it? It's a disgrace. get_iplayer seems like a good tool, but I prefer the less subtle FairUse4WM. That's why I have a machine that still runs WinXP.

I have, actually, but in both cases it was resolved quickly and effectively, while I waited. Nothing had to be sent anywhere else for testing.

I dont mind the hand held stuff, Ipod and the Iphone. I cant justify spending that much money on a computer mind and I already have an iPad i'll just hold my iPod touch closer to my face
