Few questions about OS X...

it's kind of funny that the screen in the IPod Nano is made out of the same exact materials as the 4th generation iPod, which no one complained about.  As for durability, tests prove it's just fine.

And like with any first-generation product problems can emerge, which Apple addressed in a professional manner.  

If you reuse the same design for 10 years though, your chances of having an occasional gotcha are less.

--- Quote from: H_TeXMeX_H ---Yeah, that's exactly what I'm talking about ... Apple makes items that are overpriced, overrated, and pretty crappy (low actual value of product, high percieved value by many customers)

another example is the iPod nano screens scratching even if you touch them ... fucking ridiculous

Or are we supposed to be real careful with their shitty ... I mean "sensitive" equipment.

Apple = bunch of cheap pussies !

Give it up.  You're smarter than this.

Well, not really just a blog entry, a friend of mine had a nano it scratched damn quick

Note: I'm NOT saying the nano isn't durable ... it'll work even if you smash it with a hammer ... but the screen is made of cheap plastic that scrathes far too easily and makes the screen almost unreadable. I've seen the yellow shit on many nearly brand new Mac laptops .... I though the people who owned them were just dirty, or didn't care about their laptops ... looks like I was wrong, cheap plastic again !!!

Oh, and what about the issue of putting tons of thermal paste on the processor ? That greatly reduces performance ... why did they do it ? Do they just not care about the quality of their shit or what ?

My dad has the white iBook I bought in 2003.  I used it regularly in college, at work, while eating -- and it's still perfectly white.  Likewise, my iPod is doing just fine too.

Of course, I know how I treated my things, and all things electronic I've owned since I was waist-high with an Intellivision and c64.

Cheap. Materials. edit: and the ipod screens are pretty cheap too (I've owned an ipod). I bet they could do better - might eat a tiny bit into their precious margins though.

edit: and the mac book pro is so much different/cooler than the powerbook, haha.
