I have a lot of respect for Apple , Indeed we have two iMacs and a Aluminum Macbook in the house, but mine was the last one they did before they sealed in the battery. Today it froze for the first time. No problem took the battery out and reboot.

Then I realized what it was that wound me up about apple products of late. They seal up the bloody battery......why?

You know that a year down the line its only going to hold half its charge. why oh Apple Why?

Why? They do not value your freedom of choice. They want to own you. So why give them your respect? Why?



In all seriousness, they do make cool products, but I would never own one because I have do not like their closed strategy. It is not just batteries. It is everything about every product they make.

They do that so you have to pay them to replace the battery.
