...and they used to tell me that Apple screens were the best in the world.

Apple has the worst hardware now?

No, Apple has standard hardware, just like everyone else. You occasionally get what you pay for, provided you buy on features and not on hype. What Apple does have the worst of, is ego. They will do whatever it takes to make sure their image is as glossy as their laptop screens, even if that includes subterfuge or outright lying. Makes you wonder what they are afraid of...

mercedes deleting msgs due to angry customers??

This really makes me hate apple that much more.

Apple is pure evil.

They had good hardware? sure its the same its also years behind what youll get on most PC's

hahahah, all the fanboi's out there having a problem with their "PERFECT" mac? Awww!!! I feel so so bad for them.

I think the whole deleted/locking threads is just rubbing salt in the wounds. Goes to show what kind of a company Apple *really* is doesn't it?

As a fairly recent co-vert to apple (not a convert) as I recently started using an apple laptop and find it quite compelling and plan to add more apple machines to my families growing stable of PCs (and by PC I mean Personal Computer and not Windows) I can't stand behind Apple decision to block discussion.

But after the Windows Vista fiasco you "blinders-on windowheads" hardly have something to beat up Apple about.

This to the "Apple is pure evil", "This really makes me hate apple that much more", "hahahah, all the fanboi's out there having a problem with their "PERFECT" mac?" comment simpletons...

Lets get back to the accruate Apple ads discussions...!

I wouldnt get apple to start off with anyways, I just like gaming too much... Mine sweeper just dosent cut it for me hehe

Geez, what's with all the apple hate?
I'll acknowledge that whatever is with the censorship is way out of line, and that they are definitely not a perfect company (especially considering their terrible ego), but their products are by no means crappy.

I like games too much to get an apple, and I will say that PCs have a MUCH better cost-to-performance ratio, but give it a rest already. Apple does have some beautiful displays and fantastic software and a low fail rate. PCs have better-priced hardware and a fantastic support and user base.

Can't we all just be friends?

For Apple to post something and say "We recognize the issue. We are working on a solution. Please be patient" would probably go over much better than "SILENCE, INFIDELS! *LOCKED*"

I think one of their arguments to the Microsoft "It's a PC" commercials were that "Sure, PCs might cost less in the beginning, but factor in one visit to the Geek Squad and all this other stuff Apple gives you for FREE, including great customer support, and the prices are about the same!" Where is that great customer support on this one?

Microsoft and Apple make few bad action.

But one thing, Microsoft could be hated but they never use method like censorship.

Since few weeks you can read many bad forward on Apple action based on censorship.
-remove Google apps from Apple Store
-jailbreak is a bad thing cause you don't come on Apple Store
-20" screen topic *oops*removed*
-Legal action against Psystar

Ignore customers, give them a fake support and claim you're the best...
