An anonymous reader writes "Forbes.com went to MacWorld to ask Apple fans what bugs them about the computer and gadget maker. Turns out the lack of replaceable batteries, need to buy Vista separately, and most of all the stock price bugs people."

    "You know, the only thing wrong with Apple is that sometimes I just think they're too perfect. I just feel unworthy around the greatness of my iPhone and 24-inch iMac."

  3. Yeah! That Stock Price! by Jeremiah+Cornelius · · Score: 4, Funny

    What's the deal there?

    I was much happier with Leopard (or Leo, as I affectionately call her) when the price of Apple stock was a couple bucks higher!

    Spend more for this, people! I want to congratulate myself for using my computer again!

      Batteries, yes. Vista, WTF?? Stock price, split already! Add to that, downgrades in Leopard, like the loss of airtunes in frontrow, the loss of file system menus in the dock, and how they borked previews in finder column views to force quicklook on you. Also, the inability to sync iTunes libraries on multiple macs is extremely annoying. If you can sync with AppleTV, why can't you sync with a Mini? Does RIAA cock taste that good Apple? Oh, and WTF is up with no airtunes audio jack on the new time capsule? Who missed that one? Other gripes, still no iPhone SDK, glass iPhone that's *going* to break, and phone software that's three years behind the rest of the industry with regards to MMS, camera, java, flash, etc and so forth...

      I look forward to the new BTO options on the Apple store.

      Your MacBook ships with a full copy of Mac OS X Leopard. You can also choose one of the following options:
      a) Microsoft Windows Vista Random Edition (Add $600)
      b) Swift kick in the crotch (Add $250)
      c) Vista + Suicide Pistol Combo pack (Add $700)

  5. the scam that is the I-tunes gift card by BlueshiftVFX · · Score: 2, Funny

    So I purchased an I-tunes gift card for $20 the other day expecting that with that alone I could actually buy some stuff from I-Store. On the packaging for the card it states that you can not refund or return the card. Ok, well it shouldn't be a problem, why would I need to do that? so I go to the I-store to get some stuff and low and behold now It needs a credit card!

    Why the Frak would I have bought an Frickin I-card if I had a fricken credit card! nowhere on the card does it say this! In the I-help it says that it is possible to sign up with out one but where? how? there's no way to do it!

    This is a pile of I-BS and is a I-scam.

    I am not really a Mac fan, though I am a user. and this I-pisses me off about ever being a fricken I-fan. oh but there so easy to use and so friendly! pretentious BS.
