Never said they were perfect

---Apple SOLD iPod WITHOUT this feature plus with LOW
battery life---

Funny, I've got a 1st generation 5G iPod with a battery that's just
fine. Apple sold a product, a problem arose with it years later,
and they provided a solution for it. What else were they
supposed to do? Should they have the ability to read the future?

---But they do not call it as HIGH QUALITY and do not ask for
PREMIUM---

The components are generally of a high quality. The quality
extends beyond the actual hardware though. You're paying for
design. You're paying for a vastly superior software interface
and architecture. You're paying for R&D and innovation. That's
all part of the quality equation.

---If they won?t do this ---

When have they ever not done this? Why bring up theoretical
situations? What if monkeys fly out of their butts?

---I though you would understand my ?the same roads and
fuel? ---

Well, you were wrong. I've used a Mac for the last decade and
have never had any trouble doing what I need to do, nor
interacting with other people using different types of computers.
The mixed network (Mac, Linux, Windows) at work is just fine.
What did you mean, exactly?

---This is not about me but the majority.---

Ah, so you believe in the tyranny of the majority. Then you
believe that Windows is the best OS out there. Then you believe
that Britney Spears is the greatest singer ever. I don't care what
the masses are doing, I'll carve my own path, thank you.

---Who is more successful ? Bill Gates or Steve Jobs?---

Define success. Is it money? Happiness? Creativity? Love?
Neither seems particularly happy. Gates has more money, but
Jobs will certainly never go hungry. Jobs wins hands down as far
as his creative endeavors go. I don't know enough about the
personal life of either to speculate on the last factor.
