Comments by "Christian Baune" (@programaths) on "The horrible truth about Apple's repeated engineering failures." video.

  1. I have to work with an apple, sometimes, I turn it the wrong way because I naturally put the logo to face me (So, I can see the apple the right way). Then I see the hinge and turn it in the right way. One colleague told me that trick: "The apple is not for you to see, but for others". After all, it sort of make sense.

  2. You would not repair apple products because you can't! The guy who posted the video *can do*, but is tired of how difficult it is because apple wants it to be that way. apple is the pinnacle of closed technology. When they opened it a bit, it was a result of lost lawsuit or because they were threatened. I use mac hardware and software at work, for what I do, Windows does it better. I do not remember when was the last time the cursor was stuck in a corner on Windows or Linux. It happens once a day on mac. (So much I can now unblock the cursor without rebooting the machine) If apple cease to exists, he will go back exclusively to more classic repairs. apple is more interesting since it is quite hard to find proper howtos. He is doing people a big favor.

  3. +Jack Harper, no one is an authority unless it suit you. I am not, because I am speaking of my bad experience and the ones of other people. Louis is not, because as a repair shop, he mostly sees the negatives. Reviewers, I mean people paid for it, aren't either because, well, they are paid. Independent reviewer either, because they have their mind. You neither because you fall in any of the above. Who is left ? Nobody, but the market. The market says apple is good to buy, hence apple is good. Much like it happens fireman cause fire, because where there is fire, there is fireman. Between sophism and causation bias we are not done! Here is an unbiased view: all problems depicted in the video are consigned and reproducible. Thanks to the WWW, apple attitude has been transcribed many times by independents observers AND fanboys! This remind me of another company: PC-Soft (WinDev).
