My "You Suck Apple" rant

It's time for another Graphic Mac Rant. Back in February, I went off on Apple's lack of menu bar customization. Today, just one day after Apple's World Wide Developers Conference (WWDC), I have a whole new dump truck to unload on you - covering the cry-baby, booger-eating, Apple complainers flooding the interwebs about everything released and announced at WWDC. You can read the rant here.
It seems Apple just can't win with some people!

And true. Think you've hit the proverbial nail on the head with this one, Jim.
Thanks for sharing.

It took me longer than it should have to work out you were ranting AT the people who SAY "Apple Sucks".
Im tired.

shut your alien pie-hole...LOL!
That was quite the rant. And had it been a commercial for Canadian beer, you could have rounded it off with "and I AM A MAC-USER!"
Good article.
Cheers.

I'm amazed at how many people in the comments didn't bother to read anything but the headline and subheads and decided that the article was anti-Apple, when in fact it was anti-Mac users who complain about everything.
I only post these "rant" articles every so often, but maybe I should preface them with a note saying I'm being a smart-ass, or something like that.
Or, maybe I should just let laziness prevail ;)

I read the article but generally don't post responses to this sort of stuff because its tone is usually interpreted as flame bait and troll food (kind of like the Internet version of The Jerry Springer show), but it does bring up an interesting point concerning criticism.
Consider: the Mac community at large is a community firmly entrenched in criticism. I suspect it's the way we're molded. It's sort of a self-correction built into the community and frankly, I embrace it. From within and most importantly, without.
Occasionally, the non-community folks DO make a point. Given, you have to tolerate the signal vs. noise ratio, I believe it's important to keep both ears open.
Just my two cents.

Louis CK perfectly expresses this kind of frustration.
It's funny you post that video, I was thinking about that clip when I wrote the rant. I had seen it before somewhere.
