Won't get a disagreement from me. Worst company I have ever had the misfortune to deal with (and I have to deal with them a lot).

They have perfected the art of taking someone else's good idea then implementing it really poorly.

Trying to take their consumer grade products and support them in a business workspace is a nightmare.

Sodding things.

Yes. They've done that here, replaced all the Blackberries (which I think are quite good for business needs) with iphones. Just about everyone has had some kind of issue with them.

Thank Dawkins I'm in accounting :D

Trying. There is a concerted effort here to be rid of Apple (thankfully), but it is slow going.

I have long said I will have nothing to do with them, and I have likened Apple to a cult more than an electronics designer (they don't actually do much in the way of manufacturing!). And I heard two other people, this week, one on the radio, liken them to a cult too! :D

Let's face it, what's the use in an apple that you can't make cider out of?

Have you ever considered filling a big vat with iPhones and crushing them? :rofl:

Maybe this will cheer you up - when I was in the shop yesterday for lunch, naturally I made my way to the sweetie aisle for afters. Noticed that Little Debbie has a snack called 'Devil Cremes' that look remarkably similar to a snack cake you're rather a fan of ...

iOS7, the bellend of updates then. What the shit use is the slide switch to mute the ringer but not the sound on a iPad and not have the option to change it?

Why the klunge did the tweet/FB status tabs on the notification menu have to go away?

Why the shitty 9 icon limit to a folder before it pages out and the shit way of moving icons around as it doesn't move them from page to page when you delete one?

Why the naff white colour scheme too, which kills the battery a lot quicker?

Why is the gesture to pull up the options thing so wonky, random and shit when Android got it so easily ages ago?

And what the cock is the deal with not having a torch on a iPad? Wanking pile of gash....

Oh and still no slide keyboard action, getting sick of typing like a pigeon....the updates also don't disappear once you get the update and what the hell did it install the Weather+ app again? It's great but about 100mb bigger than the other weather apps and it's really annoying that the time on the icon isn't a live time and updated, but then the date on the Android calendar icon also gets on my tits...

But apart from that, its OK is it?:scarper:
