technology Apple sucks!

[Crispin 56]

This is my opinion of the Apple company.

 

 

It was really good, with it's marketing and selling. I believe Steve Jobs really was a genius and his death is a sad thing. But anyways, first off, the price of everything. I believe iPhone is over priced on almost every device considering what it's GIVING back to you. This applies for just about all the products. Next, hype they have WAY to much hype and I think hype gives them many, many sells. It has just, way to much hype because of adds for it. People wanted it and were pressured by others to get it, so they did and it got more and more sells, yes as I said it is a good device but it shouldn't be doing so well for what it's giving back to the people who use them (usually). Next off, what it gives back, to me usually is amazing. The power, speed all of that is super, but those extra little upgraades that become a whole new phone that give almost nothing SUCK. iPhone 1, was good, iPhone 4 was good, iPad 2 was good, and iPod touch was good. To me these were good because they were origanal idea's that didn't just get a tiny upgrade, no they last! They still work and I think they instead of making a bunch of little upgrades every year should add HUGEE things even if it takes a few years, I know that we can survive with the technology we have. This is all I really have to say about them, I'm not a actual iPhone or computer guy, I kinda like Alien software though.

Geez, I can't even post an opinion without being insulted around here, can I?  I don't use internet explorer and for the record, one time I did go around with just microsoft security and some other free virus protection and I got a virus (no i didn't download anything and I use chrome).

 

Sorry, I didn't mean to directly insult you. I always use the general "you" in posts and everyone around here seems to think that it means that I'm talking to them directly. :/

 

Viruses don't just randomly appear on a computer though so something must have happened, a link was clicked on, a weird website popped up and started downloading something you didn't say it could... was it an actual virus or just a trojan?

Neon I don't really think what rock in is saying is an insult. But saying on EITHER side that Mac/Microsoft/Linux/Android(Android can only get data theft I think) Any of these devices cant get viruses or never wear out would be sorely incorrect. And he seems to be objecting using info from a personal experience.

No problem.  Probably it was a link.  Ummmmm it was awhile ago, trying to remember.  It was really hard to get rid of though.  Okay, I found out it was called:

Well, ya, obviously I can easily give you guys viruses or hack, through IP it doesn't change anything anyone and everything can do that.

Well just the fact that he was saying "idiot" is in fact an insult.  Anyway, I'm not saying I don't like windows, I use them all the time.

Yeah I think Apple needs to tone down a bit on pricing when launching their flagship phones atleast. Because to be literal all the hardware on board probably exists somewhere else already. But I think Samsung and HTC might need to work on this too.

Pfft, Windows is just as bad, with Vista and 8.0 fails XD

Everypony does, people are just so greedy at times. To make a iPhone can't cost more than 200$ currently. iPad 300$ yet they're priced double that >.<

I have a vista, I spend everything on ponies lel

Yeah I agree a bit with 8.0 xD. DAT metro theme makes me want to rip my head off. They should have made it a bit more friendly for non touchscreen users xD

I actually liked that part, it was like having a giant iPad.

More googling tells me that it's a trojan that can be removed with the right tools... and that it can get onto your computer via typical means (playing games on certain websites, watching porn, opening spam email attachments, etc).

 

Oh and PS, I had a Vista computer for almost 7 years and that was kind of awful. I made sure my new laptop had Windows 7 - I'll be skipping Windows 8 thank you very much.

Well yeah its very nice with a touchscreen But in my opinion without ya need dat start menu xD.

 

 

Though of course there are bring start menu back mods. Tho most of the very nice one ya got a pay for xD.

Apple has made some fail products too... my first Mac experience as an adult was having a desk job where my computer was a... *shudder* eMac...

I once looked at a Mac, and after 15 minutes it broke into pieces. How? Because they're more frail than I am, wait... That doesn't work... More frail than Fluttershy? NO SHE'S NOT FRAIL! Argh, can't think XD

I don't know how many others are in the same boat, but I'd sure like something in the middle of a low-end Mac Mini and a $3000 Mac Pro. I don't need a super-slim 27" integrated machine with soldered this and that and mobility graphics. It's gonna be sitting on my desk.

 

Or maybe I'm just wishing that the Mac Pro started about a grand cheaper. Either way, some sort of a middle ground without a monitor attached would be pretty nice. I'd definitely consider one of those.

 

In terms of phones, I have a Samsung at the moment but wouldn't mind switching to an iPhone if the screen size was upgraded a bit. So, that's probably coming up I'm reading. The battery life on the iPhone 4 I used previously was definitely a lot better than what I have now.

[Techite Sparkle 354]

Ouch that emac. I think my grandma used to use one O-o

Pfft, I had a lot of fun with it for like a few hours. But that's probably my ADHD being easily entertained only to go do something cra-cra.

Not that it's an excuse, but I work for a software company for churches and if I ask most of my customers what Internet browser they're using, they derp on me, and then I have to ask, "What do you click on to go to the Internet?" and they answer, "It's a blue E."

 

I've grown so cynical of people's computer knowledge and arrogant about my own.

Wish I had that back when I had the virus.  But hey, at least it's gone now!
