Apple sucks more... day after day!

Today, finally I had the confirmation that Apple sucks! Please read this news from engadget

The new fucking pricey macbooks and macbooks pro have a very nice issue:
According to Zach Honig [...] running your MacBook or MacBookPro without its battery [...] will cause a significant performance decrease: we're talking upwards of 40 percent. When he checked Apple's knowledgebase, it turns out that this is by design -- processor speed is reduced when the machine detects that its relying solely on A/C to prevent it from demanding more power than the adapter alone can provide (and any nasty shutdowns that would result)
And now I say loud and proud, WHAT THE FUCK! How an engineer can design something like that? Smart people use to remove the battery to increase battery life.. and now it turns out that without the battery the laptop becomes kind of slooooowww! So you have to keep the battery attached, in that way your battery will be out-of-life soon and you are obligated to buy a new APPLE batter! Smart Apple, eh?

But why things like that happen? Apple is a nice example of marketing-driven industry. I guess that the 99% of the decisions are taken by these marketing guys who do not understand anything about computers.

So guys, if it was not clear that when you buy Apple's stuff you pay X to have the same components (CPU / RAM / HD and Graphic Card) of an other product that cost Y (where X >> Y ), and 40% less of the performance of Y... that means that your 2000 (X) euro macbook laptop has the same capabilities of an entry level 600 (Y) euro laptop. But yes, you are right... at least your laptop looks gorgeous... but unfortunately I do not enjoy sex with a laptop; so I do not see the point about having a sexy computer!

So, guys... keep buying Apple's products! I really thing Apple is the same as with the religion... when you have an apple you become blind! I had an apple some years ago... I have to admit I was blinded as well! At the beginning you notice that it's kind of slow... but the graphical effects are so cool! After a while you get used to that sluggish machine... you are 10% less productive because of these effects... but you don't know that!

Fortunately I opened my eyes... just in time! But I also know that nobody of you will say that his Apple laptop sucks... because you spent 2000 euro on it... and you cannot admit you did a very bad choice! :) I know... Apple fools you... welcome in the club!
