Why First Generation Apple Products Suck

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the fell-too-far-from-the-tree dept.

mmAPP writes "CoolTechZone.com has an article up that pleads with Apple to focus on its quality assurance before releasing new products. From the article: 'If anything, I think Apple should do a better job at quality assurance than Dell, HP or other OEMs that deal with more units than Apple. The benefit of being a considerably small company (in comparison to other OEMs) is to focus on delivering quality products. There's no denying that Apple is perhaps one of the most innovative companies when it comes to consumer electronics, but ignoring quality as a result is not something it needs to ignore.'"

    Apple can't ship better first generation products and is having a troubling time maintaining quality

    Sounds like some other company that makes operating systems. Can't place my finger on their name right now though ...

    Well Mr A. Coward, What are you purchasing several hundred Mac Minis for?
    For a Beowulf cluster, obviously, to run Linux. Netcraft will confirm it.

    What, no one's posted a link to the famous Apple Product Cycle yet?

    First thing that came to my mind. Not that I agree with the article (pretty far from it, actually), but it seemed an obvious link to post here.

    I looked up "gullible" in OS X's Dictionary.app, and it wasn't there! Steve Jobs must be cleverly saving us from the dangers of large vocabularies. Truly, the man can do no wrong.

    Ouch, you know a joke's fallen flat when someone has to post an encyclopedia link to refute your punchline.
