I’ve just spent the last 15 minutes trying to wake up my MacBook Pro so I could write a blog entry before going to bed. After forcing the computer to power down, turning it back on and going through two black screens of nothingness, I’m here at my blog entry point.
As Steve Jobs always said, “It Just Works”.
Unfortunately, that’s the only thing that is stuck in my mind right now and I have no idea what I was going to blog about.
Why am I reminded of this Apple ad from 2002?
I should not have to restart my computer three times in order to wake it up. Especially since this MacBook Pro is less than a year old and I barely have any third party software installed on it.
I know there are other options out there but they suck worse than Apple. And if they’re not sucking, they’re sucking my data and I don’t want my data sucked for ad opportunities any more than it absolutely have to be, em, sucked.
God, I miss Steve.
I can totally empathise. While lots of Apple products have been good, they haven’t really been great. The rush to thinness (while pre-Tim) is getting silly. And crippling things because cloud and subscriptions I am sure will be an issue at some point.
Right there with ya. We have all become ongoing, continual beta testers whether we like it or not.
