We've all had problems with Apple, who hasn't? That's hwo they make their products, to break down so they can make more revenue ... No, Apple isn't happy making BILLIONS, selling there OVERPRICED COMPUTERS, Downloads, Overpriced Accessories, Overpriced iPhone and other devices (Now a Wacth) and INFERIOR POWER CORDS that RIP APART every year or so and COST an Insane $85.00 to replace. No APPLE is happy making all this money on the Brainwashed, no they want to make more !!! Yes, beleive it or not the BILLIONS of DOLLARS they make every year isn't enough to satisfy Tim Cook and everyone at APPLE, they want more. More MONEY for RIPPIN-OFF Peopel with their (Apple's) SCAM of Exhorbitant StorAGE DATA RATES, charging $100 for a MEASLY 16 GB of Storage ... There ought to be a LAW Enforced by the Federal Goverment over this issue.
Anyway, al this is not enough at the GREED of The APPLE CORPORATION .. No they want more !!! More MONEY !!! More money in the form of REVENUE for making a PROFIT on the MILLIONS of REPAIRS a YEAR of their INFERIOR PRODUCTS ...
I had PCs for years before moving to MACS. Dam was I Dumb. Usually I don't fall for all the brainwashing ad propaganda, but apple years of listening and hearing al the BULLSHIT Lies and exagerations about the Superiority of APPLE PRODUCTS "NOT" I deccided to go for one. Well, it was partially the fault of Microft when the came out with a SHITTY NEW OPERATING SYSTEM in WINDOWS 8 which is aboslutely AWEFUL and the reason that pushed me into the World of APPLE and MAC COMPUTERS, "oh how I rue the day."
I needed a new computer, my Dell was on its Last Legs, so I bought a new PC ... It was Friggin HORRIBLE .. Well it was the new operating system from Microsoft, Windows 8 that was so "Fucking Horrible," it still is ... I bought that computer, hated the new Windows (nothing wrong with my Windows XP), so I brought the Windows PC back, and got a refund. It was at Staples and they took it back no problem, unlike those BASTARDS at BEST BUY who put you throuhg HELL if you try to return something. Enough about those SOBs and back to the World Cahampions in being Bastards, the people at APPPLE ..
A PIECE of SHIT
Apple Macbook Pro
So, I hated the new Windows 8 and decided to get an Apple .. Right away I wasn't that crazy about my Macbook Pro that I bough in August of 2013, but I went along with it .. Well guess what? I had THE PIECE of SHIT (My Macbook Pro) just 54 Weeks and the thing decides to CRASH on me .. I was Fucking pissed to say the least. I had PCs for 18 years and never had a Crash or anything so bad as what happened to me with my Apple Macbook Pro .. Now I've got to tell you, I'm not one to get RIPED-OFF with these Money Making Scams called Extended Warranties, a thing Apple, Best Buy, and every company involved in selling Electronic Equipment is part of as another source of REVENUE and Rippin People Off .. Needless to say when I bought my Piece of Shit Lemon MACBOOK PRO and they asked me if I wanted to purchase the Rip-Off EXTENDED WARRANTY I almost Laughed in their face, Hell No I wanted to say, but I just gavve them a no thanks and left it at that. Well don't you think my Piece of Shit APPLE Computer that these THEIVES Sold to me CRASHED & DIED two weeks after my wothless 1 Year Warranty was up? Of course it did.
Well I brough the SHIttY ASS MACBOOK PRO that was now totally worthless down to the BASTARDS at Apple ... I waited around for a so-called GENIUS for about 20 minutes .. Not too bad .. So the check out the Piece of Shit in Question, my Macbook Pro .. The did a diagnostic test and determined I needed a new Hard Drive ... Great! Cost $154.00 ... I was FUCKING PISSED, to say the least ... You've got to be kidding me, I told the guy, "this thing is only a year old." He just shrugged his shoulders (The GENIUS). "What the Fuck," I thought!!! What the Hell did I pay $1400 for I asked the GENIUS ??? He just shrugged his soulders again. I thought these fucking computers are supposed to be the best in the world. I've had PCs for almost 20 years, othing like this has ever happened to me like this in 20 years, and I get a Mac that's "SUPPOSED" to be so dam great, it CRASHES in a years time and you tell me I need a new Hard Drive, Wht The Fuck."
"Every Computer has the same Hard Drives," he told me. "Things break down," he said.
"Well why the FUCK did this never happen to me with one of my PCs," I asked .. The GENIS just shrugged his shoulders. Whatwas I to do, but pay the MOTHER FUCKERS at APPLE .. It's like Fucking Extortian .. And the BASTARDS get away with it, every DAM DAY, day-after-day, 365 days a year, year-after-year ..
I'm getting tired of this. Apple Fucking drains you. They take your Money, bend you over and Rape you.
Now listen to this. Just 4 months after myy Piece of Shit Apple Macbook Pro CRASHED and Apple took (more like extortian) $154 from me, the FUCKING PIECE of SHIT CRASHED Again. I went through the same shit with the Genius's again, waiting around, them checking out the PIECE of SHIT that they sold me and telling me that it was some sort of shitty ass inferior cable that cannects the Hard Drive to whatever. This time Imade them pay, that's another story I tell you at another time, cause I got 1 more doozy to quick tell you before I go.
So they fixed the PIECE of SHIT AGAIN.... Well guess what???? Four months later the PIECE of SHIT CRASHED again ... You know the drill. Go down to the Fucking Apple store, see someone who makes an appointement with a GENIUS for you, leave and come back at the appointed time, check-in and wait for the GENIUS, the Genius calls your name, you go up to The GENIUS BAR, he asks you whats wrong, you tell him (or her), he does a diagnostic test on that PIECE of SHIT NO GOOD For NOTHING APPLE MACBOOK PRO COMPUTER that Apple made and sold to you, only so you cankeep having problems with it, and bring it to them to get fixed-up agian and they can EXTRACT a bit more money from you. It's an endless cycle !!!
So guess what? Yes, you got it. My Fucking Shitty Ass Hard Drive is Dead and I need a new one they say (the Genius). That'll be $154.69 she says. Thsi time my Genius was of the female type .. What was I to do? I paid the BASTARDS once again .. I don't have the strength to fight these Fuckers again like the last time, so I write this.
Brian Williams made a mistake. Yes he did. And a pretty Big One at that. He made an incorrect statement (false) that a U.S. Military Helicopter he was flying in Iraq in 2003 took enemy fire. Apparently this did not happen and some U.S. soldiers who where there and witnessed what happened say that Williams made False Statements, that his aircraft never came under fire .. Many of these soldiers are angry at the events and of Williams telling a lie. Yes, Brian Williams told a lie. A lie he never should have made, but he did. The man is human, and humans make mistakes. We all do.
Williams also made another false statements that are angering many. He stated that when he was in New Orleans during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, he saw a dead body float past his hotel room window. Another Big Mistake. The man is human. We make mistakes. Yes, it is a serious mistake, a statement should have never made. The man has apologized.
Brian Williams made a couple big mistakes, and now people are out to Crucifix him. They're out for Blood .. Look out Brian .. Yes the guy made a couple mistakes, and big ones at that, but should he be Crucifixes as he is being now so-to-speak? The man, made a mistake, and he's already been punished. Can you imagine the public humility the man is feeling. Believe me he is hurting, you can be sure of this .. He's already suffered from his mistake, and he''l suffer for the rest of his life, being on the top of his field and now being publicly humiliated in front of many millions of people, the World. Believe me the man has already been punished and punished far more than fits his so-called crime, his mistake. Do we really have to Crucifix the poor guy? I don't thinks so. Let's stop it! Right now. Give Brian a break, he deserves it, he's a good guy who doesn't deserve this. He made a mistake and he's already been punished beyond compare.
"Let He Has Never Made a Mistake Cast the First Stone."
WASHINGTON — Apologies by NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams for a false claim of being on a helicopter forced down by Iraqi rocket fire in 2003 satisfied some soldiers who were there but left a few insisting that details were still misrepresented.
Williams admitted on air Wednesday that he was not aboard a Chinook struck by hostile fire on a flight from Kuwait in March 2003, saying instead he was aboard a “following aircraft.”
In a Facebook apology to the soldiers, Williams said, “I was indeed on the Chinook behind the bird that took the RPG.” He blamed the discrepancy on poor memory almost 12 years after the fact.
Since the 2003 incident, Williams has said on different occasions that he “came under fire” and that his helicopter was forced down due to the attack. Former and active-duty soldiers who were on the same mission had said the anchor’s aircraft landed in the Karbala area because of a blinding sandstorm and not hostile fire.
Williams’ admission and his insistence that he had made an innocent mistake drew sharp criticism on social media, which subjected the veteran newsman to enormous ridicule, including posts depicting him in other historical events.
Among those who were part of the mission, reaction was less intense.
“I have a feeling that he didn’t have a choice [but to apologize],” said David Luke, a former soldier and flight engineer with the 159th Aviation Regiment who was aboard a helicopter flying along with the one carrying Williams and his NBC crew.
Luke said he thought the apology came only because soldiers challenged Williams’ version and otherwise, “he would have told that war story until he was on his dying bed.”
Mike O’Keeffe, who was a door gunner on the Chinook hit by RPGs, said he was generally satisfied with the apology and no longer wanted to press the issue by making public comments.
“I understand your interest and very much appreciate you getting the truth out there, but from my perspective, Mr. Williams has been outed and has enough to deal with,” O’Keeffe wrote in an email to Stars and Stripes. “Guess I just don’t want to kick the guy when he is down. Though he wordsmithed his apology to downplay what he did, he did recant and I am satisfied.”
Williams’ admission was an embarrassment for the veteran journalist who has been the face of NBC News since he became anchor for its main news show in 2004. NBC has not said whether he will face discipline for perpetuating a false story.
Despite Williams’ effort to contain the damage, some former soldiers thought there were still discrepancies between his account and their own memory of the events.
Luke said it was “misleading” for Williams to say his aircraft was following the stricken Chinook. Luke told Stars and Stripes that Williams’ Chinook was headed south, back toward Kuwait, when it passed another formation from a separate aviation company flying north.

After the two formations passed each other, Luke’s crew heard on the radio that a northbound aircraft had been hit by RPG and small-arms fire, presumably from gunmen in a white pickup truck they had seen minutes earlier. Soon after the attack, Luke said his helicopter and the one carrying Williams were forced to change course because of the sandstorm and land near a makeshift supply camp — Objective Rams — where the stricken helicopter had also put down.
Stars and Stripes compiled its account of what happened to the two helicopter companies that day — one based in Germany and the other in Savannah, Ga. — through interviews with five soldiers who were there, including a mission commander, retired Army officer Jerry Pearman of California who was a lieutenant colonel at the time.
Their account, however, was disputed by another former Chinook pilot, Rich Krell, who told CNN that he was flying Williams’ aircraft during the mission. Krell told CNN that Williams’ plane did suffer minor damage from small-arms fire but did not say the damage was enough to force him to land.
"Yeah, he messed up some things and said some things he shouldn't have,” Krell told CNN, referring to Williams.
Krell’s version was at odds with the recollections of both Luke and Sgt. 1st Class Joseph Miller, who was the flight engineer on the aircraft carrying Williams and his crew. Miller and Luke insisted separately that aircraft in their formation did not take ground fire that day and landed in Iraq only because of the sandstorm, which paralyzed coalition operations for days.
“No, we never came under direct enemy fire to the aircraft,” Miller told Stars and Stripes on Wednesday.
Miller said the NBC crew affixed microphones to a helicopter headset and recorded air traffic from the Chinook that had been hit.
Krell has since started to back off his assertions, according to CNN.
“[A]t this point I am questioning my memories,” he wrote to the network’s Brian Stelter, who posted a story on CNNMoney about how he came to talk to Krell.
Luke said that after the formation carrying the NBC crew landed at Objective Rams, Williams and the soldiers approached the stricken helicopter to ask the crew what had happened.
They all ended up spending two or three days stranded at Objective Rams until the sandstorm passed and helicopter flights could resume.
