Mac Spams me Constantly

So ever since I bought a mac, I receive daily emails promoting random mac products, most of which don't even exist yet. I suppose it is to churn hype among the soulless mac-lover drones. This practice can in fact be classified as lower than spam, because I actually paid money for it. If Gmail had a "Judas" button, I would use it for these emails.

Backspace Or Delete is Random

Because macbooks are so obsessed with looking nice instead of working like normal laptops, they are missing the important distinction between the backspace and delete keys. Certain programs will decide to change the function of the mysterious "delete" button, so every once in a while it will backspace instead of delete, and screw up your text. Apparently there is a way to change this, but in order to find the setting you have to own at least 4 mac computers.

Macbooks Get Too Hot

While writing this post, my macbook started burning my left leg, so I had to akwardly position it to avoid the discomfort. If someone was trying to snipe me through a wall using infared goggles, I bet my macbook would make a great decoy if the shooter was expecting me to be on fire.

Minimizing Apps is Confusing

When you minimize a window on a mac it floats down into this icon area and you can't even tell what it is anymore. So for example, if I minimize more than 2 browser windows, I have a 50/50 chance of maximizing the correct one at a later time. On Windows the odds would be 100%. Now if you think this is bad, not only is it hard to tell what program it is, but I can't get to it any other way other than clicking the unknown thumbnail icon. So if I try to alt-tab to it, I can't. I might never have any idea it is even there if my taskbar is set to auto-hide. This is probably one of the dumbest "innovations" by anyone ever.

Alt-Tab is Weird

So Mac has this thing called apple-tab to switch apps, and apple-thing? (`) to switch instances of an app. This is confusing and weird. This (`) should never be used in any products used by normal people.

Mac is Missing Internet Explorer

So I can't find internet explorer on my Mac, or any way to reasonably install it. All other browsers suck, especially Safari. Someone told me about something called "Camino", but that name confuses me, plus it probably screws up every other page you visit anyway. Firefox sucks in general, but it is 1ox worse on a mac because mac has trouble processing garbage software. This means windows must be way more advanced to be able to run such a crappy browser 10x faster than a mac. Get a real browser stupid mac.

Maximizing Windows Sucks on Mac

So today I wanted to make my window fill the entire screen. The only problem is when you click maximize on a mac the window resizes itself to pretty much any size other than taking up the whole screen. The only way to do it is to use your mouse to manually resize the window. But even then it sometimes moves itself down, then the bottom of your window is cut off. Resizing windows manually is a waste of consciousness.

The Keyboard Sucks

I've never had a kyboard that sucked as much as this. If you don't hit the letters perfectly dead on, it skips your letter. It still pops like you pushed down the key fully though, so every time it skips a letter you don't know about it until you read the actual screen. Also the keys are spaced really far apart which is stupid because it amplifies the problem. Man I hate mac keyboards.
