Steve Jobs and the iMac G5

I have an iMac G5 in for repair. What a piece of shit! From the research that I've done, the whole G5 series had heat issues to the point that they made 3 separate revisions. They are all called "G5", but internally they are all very different.

Apparantly, some company "stole" the recipe for good-quality capacitors and sold them cheap to Apple, but when they stole the recipe they failed to get the secret ingredient "X" that makes the capacitors work without leaking, bulging and blowing-up.

So, 2 years later, all the G5's in addition to all the pre-engineered heat issues, these G5's also start failing due to leaking, bulging and exploding capacitors. And, despite all this bullshit about "Apple Quality" etc... Apple not only fails to issue a recall, they offer some half-assed, limited-repair option so that if your G5 manages to work for 3 years, you are outside the window of what Apple will repair.

This G5 (this one, right here) is a piece of shit. So, against all the backdrop of all these post-mortem, electronic blow-jobs, let me be someone that tells the truth. Apple is just as capable of producing a piece of shit as any other company. The only difference is that Apple Users are too fucking retarded to know it. I've met some of these overly-contented Apple/Mac Users, and one reason why they are so happy is that they are too stupid to know any better. "It just works", my ass. It works just good enough to keep the retards happy. Anyone with half a brain can see that, at least in this case, this thing is a piece of shit.

So. Enough with the "Steve Jobs is a God" sycophancy. He's dead, Jim. He tried to cure pancreatic cancer with herbal remedies, the dumbass, and now he's dead. Most people won't be able to lean anything from Steve Job's business career, because they aren't going to run a major corporation like Apple. However, most people CAN learn from his stupid attempt at prolonging his life by using non-western, non-traditional and non-proven methods.

And that's not genius, that's stupid. And this G5 isn't "art", it's a overheating, blown-capacitor, sub-standard peice of shit made by a company whose reputation is as undeserved as it's founder's.

Here's a better idea, Mr. Jobs. Instead of using stolen, 3rd world, sub-standard capacitors that you get for cheap, how about using good-quality hardware instead. And, instead of consulting with some touchie-feelie, swami-fucking-guru "medicine man", how about instead (in your next life) you go to a real doctor, and get some real medical treatment instead.

You might live longer, and your hardware might not fail in 3 years.
