A comedy of logical errors . . .

: You only have the right to bitch about these rather petty issues when you
: yourself are either invested in the comapny...or work in an industry where
: thsi issue may affect you.

Using that logic, you are only entitled to bitch about George Bush if you contributed to his election campaigns or have personally been abducted by his goons and sent to Guantanamo to be tortured.

Of course, your logic is flawed. We have the right to complain about anything worthy of complaint, and Apple's corrupt business practices are indeed worthy of complaint.

My best friend bought a 20" iMac at my recommendation. Image my disgust when I noticed dithering, did some research, and found out the horrible truth. Fortunately his eyesight is sub-par, and he apparently doesn't notice it. If he had great vision and a keen sense for color like I do, I'd have some embarrased explaining to do for recommending an expensive computer with a shitty display.

Just a little perspective for you on why I'm taking this issue exceptionally personally. I'm always telling people, "get a Mac," and when they take my advice this is how Apple treats them. Fuck Steve Jobs.

: I have yet to hear you complain about the displays that Lenovo is no using

I'm not a Lenovo user, nor have I recommended Lenovo to anyone. For the record, they are shitheads too. But I'm not taking their actions personally, since I'm not a customer.

: all I hear is you pissing and moaning about a specific company not doing
: exactly what YOU want them to

Yeah...it's so rough of me to expect them to advertise honestly, and to put out a product of a quality that is commensurate with its price. An 18-bit display is what one expects in a $600 package from Compaq, not a $1200-1500 Mac.

: You sound like a trained monkey.

That's what I was thinking about you: Steve put you up to it.

: Are you using these NEW products daily and do the decisions they've made
: in ANY way impede your workflow?

What does workflow have to do with anything? If a TV is advertised as HD and it displays at only 480 lines, it's not impeding any workflow...and it doesn't have to. All it has to do to warrant complaint (and lawsuit) is fail to perform as advertised. Ditto the iMac (or MacBook): if it's advertised as diplaying millions of colors, and people buy it in the good faith that it does, then when they find out it displays only thousands of dithered colors everyone in the world is entitled to deride Apple over the issue.

You're such a hypocrite. You never hold back criticism of Microsoft when they deserve it, regardless of whether you've bought the products being criticised. But Apple can do no wrong, so long as their wrongs don't cut into your profits.

: Should I write an entire post about how fucked up it
: is that you constantly pull this crap? No, it's a waste of time

LOL! So you just wasted your time? On me? I'm flattered!

: Ultimately, you will ALWAYS have a problem with Apple

Are you predicting they will always be crooks and liars who turn out half-assed products and expect us to be content with whatever Steve thinks we should like?
