Stupid Mac is Pi**ing Me Off
February 4th 2010 08:57
I have been waiting now to get my super new uber cool 27" Mac computer. This thing is astounding to look at and use and is revolutionising the desktop. My only issue is I have been waiting for over two months now for it.
Apple is in dire trouble with their 27" computers and thanks to the expert marketing of the company and CEO have managed to cover up their huge issue by releasing a crappy Ipad that is also encumbered with many issues.
In my opinion the release of the Ipad was a marketing/ public relations genius stroke in the fact that the majority of the world went gaga over a new IToy - they are thinking of the good while ignoring the bad.
Firstly the dramas with the Ipad:
* It does not have a USB port - are you mental, Mac? How on earth are you supposed to transfer and share files - of course (insert lightbulb here), you are supposed to get EVERYTHING from Itunes or off the web. Or connect it to your 27" Mac that is dead in the water (more on this later in the article). You can also connect it with Wifi, or Wifi 3G
* The lack of Flash support is a major issue; the iPad's big screen is designed to make the best of multimedia content and the full-screen browsing experience, but the sight of little blue squares dotted around web pages where embedded video should have been just makes you feel like you're being short-changed. This lack of Flash support has literally commenced an open hostility between Adobe and Apple CEO - Steve Jobs.
* It cannot multi task - so forget writing emails while chatting to friends online - or forget writing articles for your Orble site in WORD while researching on a web page - one or the other
I am sure there are many glamorous ideal positive things about the IPad but these lack of functions will be its demise and the IPad will soon become the dead IFad of 2010.
But the IPad was released to shine a positive light on the lack of 27" Macs on the market - Apple has stopped production due to the major issues with this piece of fine tech (in theory and ignoring the major dramas of present).
Citing an anonymous source, Hardmac reported Monday that Apple has allegedly stopped assembling lines for the desktop. Supplies of the 27-inch iMac have been restricted for months as reports of screen flickering have persisted. While some have speculated the lack of availability has been due to those issues, there has been no confirmation from Apple.
All stock in Mac stores in Sydney have been recalled, and noone knows when these will be available again. Mac websites claim three week wait - but can they explain my 2 month wait?
When it launched in October, the newly redesigned iMac was the best-selling desktop machine in the U.S., with the 21.5-inch model taking the top spot. The big-screen 27-inch model came in third in overall sales. This is phenomenal - and now a lot of them are dead in the water and only working with a color change on the screen.
I spoke to a Mac repairer today who mentioned there is a color card/ screen inside the actual monitor towards the back that has a lot to do with the image control - it is quite large (my technical knowledge and explanation is probably really shite
). These are being shifted during shipment and are losing allignment. They can be repaired but Apple is halting production until a third party can be found to manufacture this item so it does not lose allignment.
I am yet to see a computer that looks as good and I will keep waiting but will have to set a deadline on this company as I need a new computer before this one dies. But seriously Mr Jobs - get your shit together because I am wanting to give you money and all you seem to want to do is show off more IToys!!
