One nasty about every Apple product.

Crosspost in DJJ

Today I will tell you, one nasty thing about each of the Apple products I bought this year:

Shopping list for the year:
  • 5 ordinary iPhones (all five were sold during a trip to Russia, one of them was used for six months before being sold).
  • IPhone 3G (just bought)
  • 3 iPod nano (all three are gift ones, one lent for a trip to Brazil, after I donated, and forgot in Dallas at the airport in the outhouse)
  • Ipod Shival Maker (I run with him constantly)
  • Three cigarette case domestic
  • 2 poppy beech pro (both for me, bought the second one as an upgrade, giving the first to the best half)
  • Thirty inch monitor
  • Mighty mouse

In the old iPhones, I was most infuriated by the fact that there was no search for contacts, that is, it was impossible to write “Pu” anywhere and immediately see the phones of Putin and Pupkin, there is only a moronic script with the alphabet. Russian letters in this alphabet does not appear even after the Russification of the phone itself. I have four hundred contacts written in Russian, so I had to constantly and for a long time rub my finger on the screen from top to bottom. Someday, after the third world war, people will thus make fire.

30 '' movie screen



Everything in general is nothing, only the resolution is not enough, that is, the points are huge. Well, what is 2560 × 1600 for a monitor the size of a football field?
For comparison, on a seventeen-inch Dell working laptop, I have a resolution of 1920 × 1440. In general, the laptop is a complete shit, but at half the size of the screen, the resolution differs only by a quarter, I tell you, this is an indicator of progress. And yet, you will laugh, on huge spaces of 30 inches it is hard to find the mouse cursor. If only it highlighted something, when after a break you begin to carry around the screen with a mouse.


On a photo: workplace at my place.

Mighty mouse


The device is a hellishly convenient ball for scrolling anything on the screen in any direction, stuck in a shiny piece of white plastic shit. Besides the ball in the mouse, everything is different:
hold is not convenient
to press a button on weight is impossible (this pressing technique comes in handy somewhere at the fifteenth hour of sitting at the computer), the buttons on the sides are pressed by themselves without my participation (I had to turn them off).
And the most important thing: you cannot press both buttons at the same time, and this means that you can’t jump, shoot and shoot - jump.




MacBook Pro


Most of all I blew the brain apple on the lid. The normal position of the apple is upside down. At least once a day I take the laptop out of my bag, put it on the table in front of me so that the apple on the lid is not upside down. (There is no other way to determine where in front of where the butt is, despite the ends.) I try to open the lid and it never works: the opening button is always on the other side.
Upd: Yes, I know that the apple turns in a normal way when you open the lid, but I don’t care what logo the person sees passing by my laptop, inverted or normal.
Here, Apple sacrificed some convenience and obviousness of use in favor of brand promotion. From a business point of view, the decision is the right one, but from my point of view of the user, it is lousy.



Ipod stirrer



The player itself is normal, but the headphones are just awful, they now began to make such a rubber rim so that they would not fall out of the ear. After a couple of months, she begins to shred. In the photo you can see the beginning of this process:





And finally

New iphone three ji


Firstly, the purchase process itself is terrible, the device needs to be written out in the store for a coupon, as in Soviet times, then wait a couple of weeks, and then again follow him to the store. (I am silent, that in Russia it costs $ 1500 with the original price of 200 bucks, this is a topic for a separate study.) Secondly, in the welcome SMS from EHT it says "... It's all available online on your PC " - about poppies, not a word. If I were Steve Jobs, I would be offended.




And also, the seller in the store told me that they are still forbidden to have iPhones - the demand for them is so great that everyone is not enough, and the priority is on the buyer's side. Here is a corporate policy.
