Apple intuitiveness: Upgrading OS X results in downgraded components

I just upgraded my OS X to Snow Leopard (yeah, a bit late), first of all I just can't wrap my head around the idea that OS X runs on a single hardware configuration (ok, maybe 3) yet it took over an hour to install, while Windows runs on millions of hardware configurations and can install in 15 mins (as in, ready to start using it), I just can't find that intuitive, it doesn't make sense; but anyway, one of the 3? 'big' features in this update is Safari 4, before installing I noticed I already had Safari 5, so I went ahead and did the install, to my surprise when it finally finished I had now Safari 4!! WTF? over an hour upgrading and they couldn't check if the components had a higher version than the one being installed? To be honest I was afraid to check if there was something else that got downgraded. Upgrading OS X results in a downgrade of it's components! how's that intuitive?
To top if off, after upgrading I went to check for updates, there were 776MB of updates (and these are the people who make fun of Windows updates?), and sure enough, Safari 5 was on the list.

So, to recap: I had Safari 5, I upgraded OS X, it got downgraded to Safari 4, then I had to get a 776MB update to get back to where I was before the upgrade. Intuitive or not, I'll let you be the judge xD.

Update. after another 10 minutes, more updates came up, this time an additional 200MB, requiring, of course, that I reboot again.

Apple intuitiveness: The lost OK button

Every time you connect an iPhone/iPod to a Mac, iTunes does its thing, takes forever syncing and what not (one of those things is that it steals the focus, which I hate) and when is finally done, it comes up with this dialog:

Maybe it's just me, but it took me a long time (and I mean, months) to realize that it wasn't referring to an OK button, just that it was OK to disconnect your device; so much for being intuitive.

But then again, I'm not the only one who thinks that iTunes sucks

Pure Apple intuitiveness: The new iPod shuffle morse code control

I don't even have to try for this one, these are the instructions to operate the new iPod shuffle that has no controls on it, but defers that to the earphones, which is another WTF all on it's own


This are the buttons you get



You see, having a single button that performs so many different commands kinda defeats the purpose, imagine having an application with a single button to perform all the activities

update: Gizmodo calls it Morse code, I like it

Pure Mac intuitiveness: The keyboard

The newer Mac keyboards have 2 delete keys, but that's not the WTF (or maybe it is, but whatever).
I have some files on my desktop (is that what is called in Macland?) that I want to delete, so I select the files and hit the first delete key... nothing, the second delete key, nothing... WTF!!

After trying Ctrl, Option, Command, Shift and their combinations with the delete keys, finally found one that worked, I already forgot which one though.

How is that intuitive?

Apple products keep dissappointing me

My iphone is broken, I cannot charge it, plugging it to any computer does nothing, completely fried. I turned on the blue tooth on the Mac to connect to it, all I could do was connect to it, absolutely nothing else, shortly after I got the equivalent of a Blue Screen of Death on the Mac; the Mac has been freezing on my, Fusion has been getting slower...

I had to email every picture from the iphone to my self, everything else will be lost when the battery runs out, I will get a new iPhone tomorrow (went to the store and they confirmed it was fried)

I bought the latest and greatest equipment to avoid exactly these types of problems, I don't think I want any more Apple stuff now, not worth it so far
