Super vague - I don't really know what to think of. Can you narrow it down a bit?

Software or Hardware?

In general:

DRM
Online activations
Online pass
Restricting consumer freedom - not allowing upgrades (no removable battery, no extra storage space ect)
TPB being blocked (and rather ineffectively too)
DLC

from this list you can gather I am a bit of a gamer :P

I don't like that when I play game with iPhone, if the game go with a bug, I am unable to end the game without the help of optimization tool.

I've had my iPhone for two years this Christmas, and the Home button's gone a bit tired. If it's a good day, you need only press once or twice, but it's so temperamental, usually it can take 5-20 presses before my phone actually responds.
Aside from this, I LOVE apple products, and I'm writing this from my MacBook Air which I could not recommend more.

Thanks for the replies ! Few were usual trolling as expected on such forums as these. Most helpful responses from EsmeaA and Els123.


I'm an big Apple fan. Trying to create a product/solution that would do well in today's market. Facebook for example helped the way people communicate etc !

Thanks for the response ! Just a quick question as to why you chose the Macbook Air over the Pro version ?

Sorry this is such a late response! Mainly because it's lighter, more easily portable and I don't usually use DVD/CDs, so I have no need for the drive- but I do have a USB SuperDrive so I can still use them with my Macbook.

I'd hold out on a purchase though, as I heard that they're soon going to have the 'Air' format (thin at one end, slightly less so at the other) for all their MacBooks. How exciting!

I have a similar problem and it's pretty frustrating! Still love the phone though - and hopefully my upgrade cycle should link in with the launch of The New iPhone.

I'm really hoping they refresh their MacBook line - doesn't even need to be a physical change, hardware would be fine. I would like to see the entire range go to the 'teardrop profile' though. And I saw yesterday that Apple was awarded a patent on the profile which will make like for Ultrabook manufacturers a lot more difficult. (Source - Cult of Mac)

Accessibility is the major issue for me. Being blind I have to use a screen reader to navigate anything online, but some sites are so badly designed and cluttered with graphics that they are virtually unusable.

Not had any personal experience with assistive technologies but I've heard that the iPhone (especially with Siri) is very good at helping blind people. Think the most famous example of this was just after Steve Jobs' death and Stevie Wonder asked everyone at his concert to thank Steve for his work, etc.

What is your opinion of the available assistive technologies? Have you used a wide range or did the first one you try fit your needs?

I've only ever had much experience with JAWS, which is one of the most popular, anyway. It's pretty good most of the time.
