F U Apple

Seriously, let me first say, that I , Matt Groulx, have been a pretty avid apple fan for a few years now. Made the switch, enjoyed it, still keep a pc around for the gaming aspect, but love my little macbook for portability. Absolutely loved my first ipod, really enjoy my phone but every now and again I always find that little thing that just drives me crazy. This is one of those times. Actually the more I think about it there are two things I am crabby about on this one. I know this paragraph has random periods throne places, trying to suggest grammatic structure, but basically its one giant fragmented rant of a sentance. Sorry about that.

Now that that is over, lets start. I decided I no longer enjoy the generic text message noise my iPhone currently uses. The sound is kind of loud and angry at me (I beleive I am currently using the tritone if anyone wants to try it out and see what I am talking about.) I made the decision that it would be a lot better if I could get something more mellow. Quickly without thinking I thought, Lets go to iTunes!!! They will help me!! Surprise, they won't, because you can buy ringtones for your phone, oh buy as many customized ringtones as you want, but do you think you could place them in for a text message sound. Who the hell do you think you are kid?

Basically the message apple is currently sending me is something translated like this.

Dear Average Mortal,

We regret to inform you that you may not have that calm piano playing everytime you receive a text message, because we, Apple (Supreme Beings), have already provided you with 6 of the most wonderful sounds to choose from, therefore it would be unimaginable for you to want anything beyond that.


Good day.

AAAAAAARGGH!

Anyways I am pretty frustrated with it, I have been searching all over the internetz but only to find the option to be jailbreaking, which I dont really feel comfortable doing.




One last rant real quick, I mentioned my nice black macbook. The battery currently last like 10 minutes. Ya great. Of course the battery is out of warranty so there is another FU to me from my supposedly favorate computer manufacturer.
