Oh Apple, you bastards.

Warms my cockles this. Okay so Apple is effectively using Itunes software to let you know just how much they care about you and your wallet and that you should be buying up to date, more expensive Apple products!

And that's why I still have a PC. That and gaming. Oh, I'd love to get a MAc for my artwork, but that's all I'd be using it for.

And this is why people hate Apple.

Not because they're douchebags, a lot of companies are like that.

No, because they're pretentious douchebags, passing off everything they sell like it's the next technological revolution, then pulling shit like this.

Also, I hate Steve Jobs. Something about him makes me want to pummel his smirk face in with a cinder block.

 

[Broady Brio]

What can you say?

Apple likes money and frustration from their consumers.

lol

OLOLOLOLOL!!



They'll patch this fairly soon: this kind of PR is intolerable, but its so damn lazy to have let this happen in the first place. Still, if it was going to happen to any company, I'd have put money on it being Apple: the iron-grip they maintain on all their products and their half-arsed approach to customer care is a poor combination.

The closest i get to apple is my 4 year old ipod, its good but i dont think i'll buy anything from apple ever again

 

[Baneat]

In the last few years has anything been added to iTunes that's worth anything to an iPod user?

I can think of the AppStore for the iOS

...

That's it.

Well said.

Remember: Every time you install Windows on Apple hardware, God gives Steve Jobs cancer.

Well, so long as they're gonna make more money from it.

Spoiler: Here's why they don't care.

Well, to be honest, I should imagine Apple will be kicking themselves - at this point their brand reputation is worth far more than a few thousand Macs sold.

 

[Zorg Machine]

It is kind of a dick move but since I have the newest version of the macbook, I don't have to care.

 

[RA92]

Well, looks like I'm still on the right side of the fence...

 

[Wintermoot]

wow that is a pretty big screw over from apple!
but I,m sure some guy will make a work-around for it!
PS
the only Apple related device I use is a iPhone and I use Windows so I wouldn't have any problems using iTunes (not that I use it or anything)

 

[Zetablade]

Oh if there only was a solution for this
*quietly slips over Windows dvd with Mac instructions*
just saying

 

[SilentCom]

I guess its a good thing I use a PC. Sucks for mac users though.

Apple is probably the most evil technology company in the world. True story.

Yeah I'm kind of in the same boat. The only reason I would get a Mac is for artwork and video editing.

 

[Jegsimmons]

mac products are over priced and low performing anyway. id just rip cds like everyone else does.
now if you excuse me imma go play a game useing both mouse buttons.
