APPLE CEO on maps: 'Extremely sorry' | |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24278562 09/28/2012 10:21 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | NEW YORK (AP) -- Apple CEO Tim Cook says the company is "extremely sorry" for the frustration its Maps application has caused and it's doing everything it can to make it better. In the meantime, he recommended that people use competing map applications to get around. Quoting: waht Cook said in a letter posted online Friday that Apple "fell short" in its commitment to make the best possible products for its customers.

Apples are for eating not computing. |

Of course, Apple is not alone in this obviously (don't get me started on Microsuck), but currently, they are contending for largest offender. |

I'm pissed off at Apple due to the change in the dock interface on the iPhone to the point that I canceled my iPhone 5 order flat. My 4S runs just fine. Google/Android has its fans, Windows does too, Linux REALLY does and for good reason. The point is, everyone has their favorites for whatever reason that appeals to them and that's why all these products do so well. The morons that talk down about Apple amuse me because they're standing on that point due to ignorance, not experience.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 10662894 09/28/2012 02:07 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I never understood all these hate towards Apple. I've been thinking about it and there are several reasons that I have identified about these people who spew their hatred towards Apple. 1. The people who can't afford Apple products. They have to buy cheap knockoffs from Samsung, HTC and this inferiority complex leads them to hate Apple and the people who buy Apple products. Apple offers the best products in the industry and boohoo to people who have to whine and cry because they can't afford it. 2. The people who have never used Apple products. Once you have used Apple products, you will be a believer, a follower and a lover of Apple products. Their products makes your life so simpler and convenient. Anyone who has used Windows know what I mean. Just how many hours have you lost trying to fix or customize your windows? The frustration, anguish and grief all because MS forced a worthless OS down our throats. 3. The people who hate America. They hate Apple simply because it's the best company in the world that is based in the US. 4. The people regretting their decision to buy a non-Apple product. Throwing tantrums will not make your inferior product better. Just ditch it or refund it and buy an Apple product. 5. The outsiders We all know the cool, the rich, the famous people use Apple products, but the losers, they couldn't bring themselves to buy Apple products even though they wanted to. Stop the whining. It's pathetic. Owning Apple products has nothing to do with being a sheeple. It's about the jealousy, the inferiority complex and the insecure losers of the world who hate Apple products and the people who use these awesome devices. |
