Oh Apple…

[Robert Holmes-3]

I've never been a full-on Apple fanboi per se, but I have enjoyed my iMacs and my MacBook Pros since I abandoned Windows half a decade ago. But now Apple are starting to seriously piss me off.

• They've completely lost the plot on GUI design
• They tried their damnedest to keep my favorite music service out of the US
• And now they've got an injunction against my phone.

They're turning into the incompetents and corporate bullies that their old "think different" ads railed against. Time for a boycott. So, Doug, can I run Lightroom 4 on Linux?

Re: your first point - I was highly disappointed with Lion when I was finally allowed to upgrade to it.  I do not understand this habit of designers for changing UIs and "how things work" at random new updates.  Apple has joined Microsoft and Gnome in this horrible idea.  Do these people not understand the concept of "muscle memory"?  Each new change to look and feel means the users have to break out of their old motor learning and start anew.
