Life is Full a Vit

Just how much does Apple suck?

by VitViper on Feb.16, 2009, under Technology

That is the ultimate question as I sit here at work ticked off beyond explanation. But another question might be…. why does Apple suck? Oh but where do I begin?

Today started out like the average day. Got absolutely no sleep last night since it was Sunday night and as always I was out way later than I should of been. Then I get home and watch a movie. Get to be around… oh 3am. Roll out of bed at 6am groaning and cursing the world. Do the usual junk, grab my spiffy iPhone and unplug it from my MacBook Pro (which I’ve also handily named the HDD to ‘Apple Sucks’, but I digress). So all in all… a fine morning.

Yeah right.

I get to work, everything is dandy. Send a few texts to certain people you don’t need to know about (maybe I’ll tell you one day). Send a few more texts to my sister then ultimate start ignoring her. She claims I’m driving her crazy. I don’t believe that’s possible as I believe she was crazy to begin with. Ok… I do some of the usual work that involves… well, work.

Around 11:30am PST I look at my phone… and it’s complaining. WTF. “Unknown” ICCID and IMEI. WTF does that mean? Well it’s simple really… it means my iPhone is a dandy iPaperweight. I grab a copy of iTunes and the latest iPhone 2.2.1 firmware from Apple’s site. Do you see where this is going? Yeah… I have to “restore” my dandy phone. Un-f’ing believable. It was just working FINE, then out of the blue… it doesn’t work? WHAT? I did absolutely NOTHING to the phone.

Way to go Apple. You SUCK.

Now it doesn’t end here… this is still just the first nuisance. I launch the restore and yeah, sure, it runs. The status bar on my phone is full… however the PC still things it’s restoring my iPhone firmware… and the phone still thinks it’s restoring my firmware… for the past HOUR. WTF?

Ugh… if I have to take this thing to the Apple store I’m going to be that much more ticked off.
