#MAC OS SAFARI SUCKS MAC#
Want to make a very minor edit to an image? Want to combine two images together quickly and easily without using an expensive photo editing suite? Not possible with a Mac I’m afraid. Tell me Apple, why can we not maximise our windows? Also please tell me why – for the love of all that is good – is it so damn hard to arrange two documents side by side? Heaven help you if you have file name clashes and have to manually rename each individual file… So, if you’re say, dealing with a couple of hundred files, such as in the case where you might be organising photos from a digital camera or other such device, you soon find yourself in difficulty. Windows-PCs allow you to batch name files, so if for instance you have 20 photos you want to name ‘Reasons I hate Macs’, they will be renamed quite simply, with numbers appended to the end of the filename for each subsequent file in the group. I do not want computer icons to have personalities of their own.
Computers are machines, they are not people. Apple Macs don’t have balloons, or popups or message boxes, no, instead they have icons that feel the need to bounce up and down to get your attention in a way that is beyond irritating. So without further ado, here are 25 reasons I hate Macs, and the 3 things I like… 25 reasons to hate Macs Alas, I doubt I will ever see the day Apple sees sense, as far too many people are prepared to spend far too much money on over-hyped products that look nice, but have little in the way of practical application. But even such relatively trivial tasks as taking a screenshot require the average user to dedicate far too much time to browsing internet forums to find solutions to tasks that should be easy.Īs much as I have an intrinsic loathing for Apple, and the style-over-substance that its “brand” represents, I would actually shout for joy if I came into work one day and found that my office Mac did the simple things I need it to. I work on Macs 5 days a week, and require little more from my workplace Mac than it let me do my job.
#MAC OS SAFARI SUCKS PC#
Now, before I get accused of being a PC fan-boy, this blog is in no way a rant without substance. Whereas on a simple low-spec PC I would be able to do most things a writer needs to do, such as rename files and multi-task between a few Word documents, on a Mac even these simple tasks become a chore. You see my employer has kitted out our office with Apple Macs, the most un-helpful, un-user-friendly devices imaginable. Not too much to ask, you may think – there’s not much there that can particularly go wrong, or make my life more difficult than it needs to be.
I don’t need much: a computer with an up-to-date version of MSOffice, access to the internet, and a few very minor stationery requirements, and I am well equipped to sit and write all day. As a writer I’m fairly easy going when it comes to my working environment.
