My ever so spoiled sister just got the iTouch iPod. It sucks ass. You can always accidentally zap yourself out of something for touching the screen the slightest way. It is heavy as hell, resembles the iPhone way too closely, and costs money to upgrade; which in this sliding economy, is not a good thing. I have no opinions on the Macbooks, since I don't own one, although I'd like to. I do agree, with the touch stuff. My ever so spoiled sister just got the iTouch iPod. It sucks ass.

Fact is, I've never had an issue with my Macbook Pro, and I rather enjoy OSX. What I hate the most about them is their brand cachet, pompous advertising, and ubiquity in the digital music distribution and digital music player industries. It is almost like the media cannot see them doing anything wrong. Now, I rail Apple a lot because I think they are are a bunch of money grubbing, hype inducing, sensationalizing bastards.

While there are a lot of eye-candy aspects to Linux, its major strengths are always function and stability. It seems difficult to most people just because it's different. At any rate, I'll feel better if it stayed out of the mainstream. As far as any Apple product goes, that company and all their products are utter crap. HCI isn't an Apple-only field, like you mentioned, and I don't feel like dealing with only one company when something goes wrong with the hardware. Throw in the constant licensing and copyright lawsuits they bring upon themselves, and you've got a trifecta of evil. Pretty much reinforcing what Tristan said here.

Good job, guys. You asshats. I still like that time when Apple came out with the two button mouse, and it was a huge deal.
