Why Stuff Sucks
 
 
Yeah, that’s right, keep reading.  I have been promising a thorough flogging of Macintosh and Apple in general for a few weeks now, since I am in week 6 of attempting to not use Windows on a desktop.  Well.  Ok.  The rant is weak on this one right now, and has been getting weaker.  I do have a formal doc that lists the “differences” between Windows and OS X, but, well, crap, how do I say this.....umm....ah damnit...Mac doesn’t suck.. WHAT?!?!  WHAT???  Yeah, ok, fine, and fuck you too, I said it, I am not giving back my MacBook.  Well, assuming the keys don’t wear out, cause this keyboard is squeaking like a motherfucker and it’s only week 6.  Also assuming I don’t destroy the machine by swinging the power adaptor into it like a battle mace due to what is possibly the stupidest most fucked up waste of engineering dollars I have seen since the stupid Dell server cable management arm (really, 5 ft of service loop is practical for *every* data center).  Christ.  You know, Steve, and, whoever the hell is there today making “decisions” at Apple, I am willing to BET you a yet to be realeased 12” MacBook that had you not spent 10 million dollars or whatever the hell it cost to engineer the fanciest and coolest power adapter connector the world has ever seen, that you could have afforded the extra 6 fucking inches of wire for EACH and EVERY MacBook made so that I wouldn’t trip over the fucking thing every fucking time I stand up and NEED the stupid coolest fucking power connector ever.  Fuck.  Really.  I have been 100% laptop and 100% ThinkPad sine 1998, and not ONCE (ok, ok once, I did trip over it because I was rushing to answer my phone and we had just moved so there was no furniture and it was balanced in an odd place on the futon) did I trip over the damn ThinkPad power cord.  I trip over and rip the power cable off my MacBook about once a day.  Crap.  Now THAT Sucks.
