Apple's Growing Pains

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the because-pcs-are-perfect dept.

Tyler Too writes "Is Apple having an unusually large number of quality control problems since its switch to Intel? Ars Technica runs down the litany of problems MacBook and MacBook Pro users have experienced since their launch. From the article: 'Is Apple's quality control slipping through the cracks with this Intel transition? Given the volume of available evidence that has appeared in such a short timeframe, it's simply impossible to say that Apple isn't having problems.'"

    Macs suck. Now maybe someone will listen to me.

  3. Apple's QA problems predate Intel Macs by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    OS-X shipped late, and in a basically unusable form through Tiger, and the Aqua interface still sucks furry monkey balls. Aqua is basically a really crappy copy of CDE (a Unix GUI that was obsolete ten years ago). The forthcoming version appears to suck slightly less, but is still way crappier than, say, KDE 3. It's like Apple's "designers" have learned absolutely NOTHING about user interface design in the last ten or fifteen years. I hate to say it, but WinXP sucks far less than Aqua.

    So, when somebody suggests that Apple has *recently* started having quality assurance problems, I just have to laugh.
