Mr. Manes:
I usually enjoy your articles, but I am greatly bewildered that you would treat SPAM so lightly. Of the problems I have encountered they normally evoke only a short word or two. SPAM is entitly different. I get so angry that I must constantly remind myself that the only reason some people are still alive is because it is unlawful to shoot them. I think I would be satisified if just one thing would go away.

Apple products are innovative but they have major problems like the unremovable battery. Mane's criticism of both MS and Apple is warranted. I know too many people who wait in line for Apple's latest whatever and then pay the price for rushing in.

Those darn Liberals: cute and tolerant...

1. Advertisements in paid subscriptions. Ex Quicken, Tv Guides, Apple...
2. Companies that release patches to deactivate products installed on Vista. Ex Nero 5, 6, 7 all run fine if you have half a brain, but the vista patch deactivates it and uninstalls it so you "can have the privilege of upgrading"

24. - PC World Users that inject politics into discussions about tech products.
25. - Any tech product with a bug. Oh, wait, that's just about all of them.

1) Apps that re-enter "auto-start" rules EVERY time you use the app (Quicktime, Messenger, et al)
2) Apps that SAY they "Work with Vista", but fail to mention the absence of 64-bit support (ZONEALARM)
3) Apps that don't let you turn off the "auto-update" feature (without hacking the Registry, or manually blocking the underlying service)
4) Apps that install yet ANOTHER custom toolbar in my browser; without even asking me first

Mr. Manes,
I fully agree with the fact that Apple has biased reviews. I have noticed that even PC World sometimes will not present the bad side of Apple, only the good side.
Recently Ed Bott www.edbott.com had a series of articles about Apple's iTunes, proving its not all it's cracked up to be.
As for Microsoft, some of their stuff is over-hyped or unreliable(remember Vista's release date?) I haven't had the same problem with Windows Live, but then I only use their search engine (which is still not as good as Google's.)
I thought that when Office 07 came out that the tabs were a huge improvement. I thought that the menus slowed me down too much.
You're dead on about remotes. A lot of them take too much time to program.
