i have been use apple products since i was 14 (so 23 years)
i have had an apple //e, an Mac SE (dual floppy), PowerBook 100, G3 Wallstreet PowerBook, Beige G3 Desktop, 17" 1ghz AL PowerBook, and finally a Core 2 Duo 2ghz White MacBook. (i also own several intel mac minis, the 17" imac g4, g4 towers etc - but they are "work" computers and not "mine")
i love macs - but i hate the touch
and 6 months ago i bought a touch
Crime Against humanity #1 - it doesn't have copy and paste.
for this reason alone there should be class action lawsuit, jail time, and televised painful public executions.
or perhaps in the interest of saving the planet - the executives should be used a human mine detectors, clearing mined fields in the war torn parts of the world.
you might think this is ridiculous and extreme - of all the things to get work up about - copy and paste missing from a crappy $600 touch screen computer that fits in your shirt pocket.
you might say, josh - there are bigger issues to get upset about.
you might say - what about the oceans dying, the erosion of farm land, the drying up of the aquifers, and the mass extinctions occuring right now.
i would say - you're right.
but those things don't make me want to drive hot pokers into my eyes when i am trying to send an email from the itouch.
Crime Against humanity #2 it doesn't have undo
No undo? that's insane!
Crime Against humanity #3 the magnifying glass / lack of arrow keys
not only is useless near the edges of the screen - it doesn't magnify enough and it is all blurry
Crime Against humanity #4 the keyboard sucks
The keyboard sucks in soo many ways.
a) it has several different modes depending on what application you are using - no consistency
b) it doesn't go wide screen when you tilt it - i want bigger keys - go wide
c) it doesn't have the T9 cellphone dictionary or any other kind of intelligent feature to guess what word i am typing and then let me pick it
d) the keys are too small
Crime Against humanity #5 the screen tilts when you don't want it too and doesn't tilt when you want it too
at first i thought this way a problem with the accelerometer but then i got a game (labyrinth lite - http://www.macworld.com/article/134966/2008/08/labyrinth.html?lsrc=rss_main) and the accelerometer is very responsive - so why is the tilt so screwed up???
Crime Against humanity #6 the 2.0 firmware Safari stability is terrible
when safari crashes, it just reboots the app, like nothing happened. like it didn't just fail and crash. that sucks.
Crime Against humanity #7 safari runs faster on the itouch / iphone than a 1ghz g4 with 768MB of RAM
huh? how is this possible? using safari on the 1ghz g4 is a soul destroying experience for the adhd afflicted. i need to open 30 tabs at once and jump between them quickly!!!
