An Apple customer since March 1, 1984 when I bought the original Macintosh 128K. I've been weeping for joy and in frustration ever since.

iLooneyTunes sure doesn't like syncing an iPhone and a 2G Shuffle at the same time. The Shuffle keeps failing.
Dear Apple Mail, Stop asking for account passwords. You KNOW what they are. Relaunch cures. Sigh.
… yet Firefox has no trouble. Has been like this for more months that I can remember. Proof positive that Apple doesn't read their forums.
I find it quite curious that Apple's own Safari can't render their support forum search box correctly … http://yfrog.com/37msgbp

I suppose it's also reasonable to assume they use Firefox instead of Safari, at least as long as Steve isn't roaming the cube farm.
Not only don't Apple programmers read the site and get problems fixed, the web site developers never search or they'd have fixed it.
Tried to to turn on Overscan in Display preferences on my wife's MacBook. Hangs, can't force quit, have to power cycle. POS.
Add MacBook back to Apple TV, enter code on MacBook, shows up disabled on Apple TV and ATV vanishes from iTunes. Who writes this code?
Quit iTunes, relaunch, now talks to Apple TV. Someone explain to me how Apple ever got reputation for ease of use. "It just doesn't work."
Apple TV can't see my MacBook. Try to Disconnect and reconnect for the umpteenth time since I've owned this turkey. Apple TV crashes. Right.
Asshole in a truck cuts me off as I try to merge almost causing an accident. He's not worried because his license plate isn't registered.
@rgriff Don't these "security experts" realize that reducing the combinations of characters or patterns actually makes it EASIER to crack?
Dear WordPress, What good is an automatic update if it doesn't do anything? Just askin'.
So this is how cell phone companies do their pricing: http://www.dilbert.com/fast...
AMC Theatres sends me an email to ask me to complete a survery for a chance to win $100. Right date & time, wrong movie. They use computers?
Well, I do like Bing Maps Aerial satellite and Bird's Eye views. Much more detailed than Google's.
Oh, Bing Maps Help SAYS it supports Firefox 3.0, but only on Windows. Double FAIL! I'm sticking with Google. Siooma Microsoft.
So Bing Maps 3D only works with ActiveX, leaving out every other browser other than IE? FAIL!
RT @MattBlaisdell: Apparently, the last iTunes update was the "Let's-add-some-more-bugs" update. </vent> [No <bleep>!]
RT @MadLid: Via IMDb: Google de-google's Studio Briefing: site to shut down, Lew calling it quits. Kinda sad. http://www.imdb.com/news...
Looks like Google is trying to model themselves after the Apple app store. Random, unexplained, business-affecting decisions with no appeal.
@OttawaCitizen Is this the future of newspapers too? Right now I only read articles from your Twitter headlines. http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Brought MacBook to desk, plugged in 24" monitor, woke it up, no Finder icons, can't drag images from Safari to Desktop. Relaunch Finder FTW.
Why doesn't Apple mail show attachment counts in the list pane for some messages, including a message created by Send Again?
Automator never seemed to be able to do what I needed. Finally found something it does do. Wow! Very slick. Big time savings.
iPhone Mail icon says 1 unread message. Open & find all accounts say 0. Have to go through each folder 2 find it. Loading ALL would be nice.
@Intuit sends me an email touting the new features of QuickBooks 2010, including a few testimonials. Gee, I wonder why they didn't ask me?
To make matters worse, @Intuit's QuickBooks forms designer is pathetic. A relic from the 1980's. A total waste of my time.
Only @Intuit on a software upgrade to QuickBooks 2010 would force many thousands of customers to reformat many more thousands of forms.
