reasons i hate apple, #6 & 7

6. There is no easy, straightforward way to copy files from a Mac [or any other kind of computer] to an iPad. And, even if you stoop to sending yourself an email attachment and opening it on the iPad, there is no way to save the attachment! Apple goes to extraordinary lengths to hide the file system from iPad users.

7. If you want to burn an audio CD from a bunch of music files using your Mac, you have to use iTunes. Not entirely icky since it is, after all, an audio app. Did I mention iTunes does not import ogg or flac files? ?!@#%$*! So in order to burn those files I have to convert them to mp3 first — a time-consuming step which incidentally defeats the purpose of flac by using a lossy compression format.

End rant, attempt to calm down.
