What are you talking about? I just scrolled through the scribd link you presented and it's plain-as-day that the majority of pictures are doctored. Page36:the ipad is photographed at an angle to make it match the Galaxy's aspect ratio. Ditto on page 39.

I use Macs but the OP is making a valid post. OSX aside, in terms of hardware you pay much more for less when you get a Mac. No eSATA and no USB3? For the premium you pay for a Mac those should be expected. Sure, Thunderbolt can replace those technologies, but it will be years until TB becomes a ubiquitous connection so until then you will be stuck with slow USB2, unless you want to buy overpriced Apple peripherals from the Apple store.

I'm simply getting sick of paying the 40% mac-tax on slightly-better-than-average hardware just for the privilege of using OSX.

3) You pay $60/month for a 10Mbps connection with a 40GB limit, but can only get 10Mbps at 2-4am in the morning because of Bell's throttling. Other times,because the CRTC has artificially eliminated any competition, Bell has no incentive to upgrade their fiber, so because of high network usage you get an unstable connection that goes 3-5Mbps, or even slower during peak times. Europe and Asia continue to enjoy 20,50, 100Mbps or higher speeds. Bell explains they can't offer those speeds because of Canada's low population density, even in large urban areas like Toronto or Vancouver.

I wish facebook would consider just switching all traffic to https.
Because typing in the "s" would confuse the majority of the userbase.

Greaaaattt. Might as well get prepared now...
NEO SHOT FIRST! (in the lobby scene!)

It's deceiving to the point of almost lying.
No, it really isn't. Only the anti-Mac fascists would say that about that statement. Do you complain as much as the 'Intel-inside' sticker? How many millions of ppl have been fooled into thinking that one sticker makes the system better? Or how about all those 'lowest TCO compared to Linux' studies that MS payed for ten years ago.

No other industry would be able to get away with such "facts".
Every industry from cars to diapers is full of these "facts"! Here's some:
-Every car manufacturer proclaims that every one of their cars is "best in it's class", but they never say what the class is, or the study was paid for they the company.
-Cereal that are advertised as 'Natural', which can mean anything.
-Or how about 'Fat-free" foods? Nowhere on the container will it say that the calories are still the same as the regular stuff because they replace the fat with sugar.
-Stores that have 0% financing, but they don't tell you up front that there is a $129 'Administrative fee'

This is the same problem with iPhoto. What kind of software hides the fact that it's decided to take over file management? Whose idea was this?

I find that most Apple software acts quite nanny-like, and it usually a step down from OSX quality.
Instead of using iPhoto why don't u switch to Picasa-it doesn't mess with your photos by moving them around to god knows where, and it beats iBloato..I man iPhoto...in all areas.

If it is urgent there is no Voice support,
If it's urgent then use your telephone! Or Windows Messenger. Or how about email?

I rather enjoy Skype the way it is right now. Cisco is going to destroy Skype intentionally or accidentally by doing one of two things:
1) Add Skype's technology into their products, stick a "Powered by Skype" sticker on the box, and kill off any consumer-level access Skype as we enjoy it now. Looking back at Cisco's purchases in the last decade and you'll see this is very likely.
2) As an attempt to make Skype profitable, they'll quadruple the prices and charge for the ones that are currently free. Coming soon:unused Skype credits that expire in 30 days.
