This has absolutely nothing to do with the Bible and everything to do with my Apple products love\/hate relationship. I?ve spoken about this in the past to my geek friends and now will do so here. I truly love Apple<\/a>, but sometimes, in the midst of crisis, I loathe them.
<\/p>\n

Put down the stones, fellow Mac-users. The same spirit of
\nmac-love (addiction) that is in you is in me. If you want an apostolic list of
\nmy love of Apple, realize that I supported Apple during the Clone Wars and even
\npropagated the advancement of technology by supporting the Clones! I purchased
\na G3 processor, not once but twice. As to OS?s I cheered at the awesomeness of
\nOs 7.5 and roared in fury at OS 8.l. I was on the fence with OSX, hated Jaguar
\nand reveled in the beauty of Panther. As pertaining to hardware I loved the
\npurity of the 8500 and groaned at the backwards leap of the 9500 but had
\nrenewed hope when the Clone Wars ended and there were only top benchmarks all
\naround. Being a designer, it proves to be not only a love but my bread and
\nbutter as well.<\/p>\n

Doubtless you can feel my pain as I discovered that my three
\nyear old son broke my Ibook?s AC adapter. Sturdy material all around, the piece
\nhas a weakness the width of the Death Star?s trench?the exposed plug that
\nconnects to the ibook. This vulnerable piece of metal proved no match against
\nmy son?s penchant of proficient destruction. I could bring no charge against my
\nboy since I only discovered the extent of the damage when the ibook shut down
\nlater in the evening, completely drained from its non-charged battery life.<\/p>\n

With resoluteness, I went to look for the exact model number
\nof my adapter (M7332) on ebay?the source of all things unwanted yet needed.
\nExcellent, two pages of results?until I read the description of each of them:
\n?Will not work on Dual USB ibook?.<\/p>\n

It made no sense. It?s my model number, and yet it won?t
\nwork with my ibook? I did further research and found that Apple decided to
\nrelease the adapter under the same model number, although one?s pin is larger
\nthan the other. I scoured the web and found plenty of sites that sell the
\nappropriate part but only as aftermarket and with the uneasy legal protection of
\n?may not work with your apple product?. <\/p>\n

The search currently continues but it bolsters my conviction
\nthat Apple simply makes Time Capsules. Each and every one of their products has
\nsomething that the previous generation doesn?t have and can?t have even if you
\nwanted it to have it. In fact, once the product fades off of the Apple Home
\nPage, you should fear if you?re the proud new owner of a Quad or Cube. If you
\ndecide in 4 months to try to upgrade your product you might as well forget it
\nbecause any parts that are made for it are likely sinfully expensive or
\ndangerously close to incompatible. You bought a memory and you enjoyed it for a
\nfew months, now use it as a door stop or put it on the book shelf with all your
\nother old macs and hope that your wife doesn?t finally throw them all out.
\nThank goodness that the ipod shuffle is that small, it?ll fit in nicely next to
\nyour first generation iMac.<\/p>\n

There you go?I love them and I can?t stand them. I dream of
\nthe day that Apple will finally let go of their imperial grip and let end-users
\nupgrade their products without a hassle. A millennial age of
\nbackward-compatible support where processors and dvd-superdrives can actually
\nbe installed in older machines without killing the wallet!<\/p>\n

For now, I just want this adapter.<\/p>\n

Update: I’m looking at iGO’s power options. It looks promising. This is the longest day of my life. 23:36:40<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
