I don't think anyone ever said iOS or Macs are for everybody. If your usage and their usability matches, great, if not, go get something else. Pretty simple concept.
Oh please. Checkpoint/Pointsec works perfectly fine on OSX for full disk encryption. All the other stuff you mentioned was just because you're unfamiliar with it. Well, guess what, if you're unfamiliar with something, and you complain it doesn't work well... what was that old saying about a workman blaming his tools again?
I haven't touched 10.5 for quite some time now, but I know 10.6 and 10.7 supports VPN natively (it's even called Cisco VPN for god's sake), so why install a 3rd party client?!?!
My Macbook pro works perfectly fine in my company of 6000 people, and is the first Mac on the network that IT bought. My boss have never used a Mac before in his life, and was vehemently against Macs being introduced onto the network a year ago, is now using a MacBook Air as his primary machine (his office doesn't even have a windows box any more!), and on top of that, bought 3 more Macbook Airs for his wife and 2 daughters within the past 6 months!
Macs are different from Linux and Linux is different from Windows, and XP is different from Vista and Win8. You just have to understand they're not the same.
You haven't really spec'ed out new machines comparable to Apple's specs when it first comes out, have you? Look at the whole ultrabook market - idiots would compare a macbook air to a netbook, but now that Intel embraced it, look at how much a non-Apple ultra book costs.
The problem is that the version of CarrierIQ on IOS have the spyware bits disabled. The "spyware" parts were only active on Androids, and even then, it wasn't even spyware.
It is not difficult to have a hard inner shell. Or at least pretty decent security inside. But I see a lot of people with your attitude (oh, it's hard, and it makes it difficult, and it's inside, so who cares anyway).
The rlogin was a _ne plus ultra_ if you couldn't tell from context.
Modded Troll? What the hell is wrong with these people? Surely there must be a way to mod a Troll-modder?! Take away all their mod points and cookies too, damnit!
Then use your older slower mobile device. Nobody's stopping you.
You can moan and gripe against horseless carriages all you want, but if you really want a horse driven carriage, you can still trade for one from the Amish.
Since Apple's mapping is based on Google Maps, and I've used both android and ios for navigation, my experience does not match yours. It's not as good as it could be, but certainly far better than what you described.

They can make it up with volume, apparently...

Your ipad crashes constantly?! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Go on, pull the other leg, it has bells on it.

and next to no security. wheee!
it would be helpful to actually read what happened.

WTF?! Your voice call is more than that!
Just like the price of music CDs were supposed to go down when they transitioned from casette tape to CDs... remember that?

You know, when you alone are ranting against the rest of the world, it might be you who is the one with crappy aesthetics.
Thought you should think about it.
And what's the word for Idiot?
After *PAYING* for it, how the fuck is it stolen or plagiarized? Hell, Apple even ended up hiring some of the Xerox programmers to work on the GUI.
Modded Troll? What the hell is wrong with these people? Surely there must be a way to mod a Troll-modder?! Take away all their mod points and cookies too, damnit!
This is a REALLY FUCKING STUPID ATTITUDE. Why the fuck should rlogins still be allowed when SSH is all over the place? Just because it's internal?
Which android phone has full encryption of the device and a native ipsec client?
Of all the android phones on the market, which is running the latest ice cream sandwich, and why aren't the others capable of being updated to ICSW?
Thanks.
You think as if all consumers are idiots and will put down good hard earned money for shitty products.

No no, not explicit at all. You should really tell us how much you love Intel...
Yet another person who doesn't understand the difference a disease and a symptom.
Beauty of capitalism my friend. All the Fart Apps you care to buy. Unless....
What are you, a Communist Anonymous Coward?!
See, if it was an Apple fan, they would know how to use they're properly... *haha* :)
Wouldn't that merit a complain to the school?
You *can* get a stylus if you want. And how do you know you can't cut and paste?
