  • Disgruntled MacBook Pro users petition Apple to recall defective keyboards

    design_editordesign_editor
    Legit issue. What genius decided to integrate the keyboard with the top case? My wife’s kb is almost unusable due to intermittent key presses.

  • IBM deploying 1,300 Macs per week, Apple users need much less support than PC counterparts

    design_editordesign_editor
    Microsoft has no respect for any user's time. I have lost months of my life maintaining poorly implemented OS releases over decades, and my happiest times have been when I can completely avoid Windows. Currently I'm maintaining a 2 in 1 for my son's gaming, but other than that, I am very happy to leave the Microsoft nightmare to others.

  • Bug in Adobe Creative Cloud updater erases root level Mac data

    This is the dawning of the age of idiocracy, the age of idocracy. The spawn of the babyboomers are in positions of responsibility, and guess who didn't get any life lessons in personal responsibility. It'll only take another generation for them to starting putting Brawndo on our crops, sowing the seeds of humanity's demise.

    If there were a replacement program and you missed it, that is totally your fault. Stop blaming the world for your misfortune.
    Another example of why AppleInsider forums can be a horrible place to share thoughts.  I enjoy AppleInsider articles, which is the primary reason I come here.   I also come across some good dialog in these forums too.  But the worst of humanity shoots forth in these forums, I must say.  Many AppleInsider forum posters worship the Dislike button and have no regard for their fellow man.  When someone posts a truth, they get Dislikes if their remarks aren't very pro-Apple.  Nearly all the pro-Apple posts, truthful or not, get mountains of Likes.  People with problems or people who vent some steam get pounded.

    Just because your life is near perfect or you have a near perfect brain that can resolve all problems in your own life doesn't mean everyone else can be your clone.  Have some sympathy. Stop adding woe to the existing woe of others.  Stop trying to play lawyer or teacher.  Encourage others and try to be friendly even when others don't reciprocate your goodness.  Stop complaining about people complaining.  If you read something you dislike, bite your tongue instead of clicking a Dislike or bashing that person.  When a fellow Mac user needs to vent, be upbeat and supportive.  Optimists make the world go 'round.
    AppleInsider forums have a slight Scientology feel to them. If you don't drink the Apple KoolAid, you are an SP (suppressive personality) to be shunned. Unless you have shares in Apple you're just an enthusiastic customer. Other people's problems with your products are not a reflection on your decision-making. They are probabilty in action. A certain percentage of any product output will have defects, and sometimes with Apple a small percentage of a huge market means a lot of angry people. Lord knows I have taken the Apple name and management in vain over the last 20 years. More in the last five years though.

  • Apple to donate to Australian bush fire relief efforts

    design_editordesign_editor
    Sadly, this is not the type of help Australia needs from Apple. The company pays virtually no tax on billions of dollars of revenue from sales of its products and services in Australia. The avoidance of its tax obligations means that the Government cannot provide services to its citizens and most recently had cut 10s of millions from its fire services in the most affected state of NSW. We don’t need billionaires
    or corporations throwing pocket change at problems. They need to honor their social contract of paying its tax obligations.

  • Apple doles out gift cards for Black Friday sales event [u]

    design_editordesign_editor
    Apple has become the lame company that Microsoft used to be. Who tries to push last year's products and gift cards that won't cover your dongle bill? Helping execs to fat stock bonuses is not really helping its customers. Maybe they need a Trump shakedown.
