Mac OSX sucks big time

<rant>

I have to say that OSX sucks big time. It is garbage, written by nincompoops who do not understand how to write proper error messages.

Due to the dullards who decided it was a good idea to limit where paying customers may watch DVDs due to "region" settings, I have had to change my "region" setting a couple of times. Today I try to change it back and the message is "This is the last time you can change the drive region code". Unfortunately it is not the last time. The last time has gone. The last time was the last time, not "this" time. Yet Mac dunce programmers think the above is the correct error message. Instead of worrying like a bunch of oily squid about the eye candy which does nothing but slow the system down, they would be better off taking their heads out of the sand, drinking less coffee and writing proper error messages.

I have found time and time again that OSX sucks more than the world's biggest extraction pump. It is not a feat of design. It is a feat of crap design. In fact that goes for all Apple products. The iPods have the worst battery life of any MP3 player. They are also poorly designed physically. The fact that they have sold well does not mean they are good. McDonalds sells lots of hamburgers but that does not make them cordon bleu.

Utterly and totally pissed off by the continual crap things I find with Apple.
