So many actual people care about all of that, that the sales of the iPhone and iPods have been dismal. Why would Apple do such a thing! :) The articles are nice and the pundits as usual are talking about what they think is missing and very important. Meanwhile the consumers are just buying them up as fast as Apple can make them. I for one wouldn't want to have to be a company suffering from all that misery.... -- Lloyd

Meanwhile the consumers are > just buying them up as fast as Apple can make them. I own a iPod touch and pre-ordered the iPad so I'm not a Mac/OSX user. But this is how I view Apple vs. the competition. Most companies focus on making products with lots of features and specs that look great on paper. This makes the techies happy and puts lots of check-marks on the marketing feature list. Whereas Apple tends to focus on making products that actual people like to use. > I for one wouldn't want to have to be a company suffering from all that > misery.... > > -- > Lloyd > >

This is supposed to be a place for helping people resolve system problems, not waste time responding to folks with mental problems. For crying out loud, help those who need and want help, not those who are beyond and don't want help.
