Macs are now shit.

I'm done with macs. Quality control is gone. This is bullshit.

I've had this computer for just over a year, and now it refuses to eject CDs. Tried everything on the forums, nothing works. That's the last time I blow 2000 bucks on an apple product.

Steve Jobs is a bastard.

I've seen many complain, but I don't think it's a trend. And I think people are more happy with their macs than with any other computer brand. You may just have been unlucky.

Well, Windows operating system is bad, but their hardwares are much better in terms of build quality. Especially the latest Intel based Macs are truly shitty. I think it's a quality control problem, since many around me are using Macs without a single problem, then there are a few who are having a hell, including myself.

I used four Windows based laptops before buying my current MacBook a year ago, and had never had this much trouble - numerous visits to Apple Store for various fixes, four hardware troubles that needed part replacements, one occurring within the first month of purchase, and now the monitor screen is dying (blinking badly), the power button needs double clicking in order to turn on/off, and all kinds of small hardware build quality related troubles are there.

Ejecting CDs

Try holding down the F12 key for 3 seconds or rebooting while holding down the same key.

You might want to try returning your computer for a new one. Most states (in the US) have pretty good rules on warranties; companies cannot sell products that don't work and this is enforced.

Unlike in a car, a computer's CD drive is integral to it's functionality.

While you have a point the DVD Drive should work, calling apple's products S**t as a result is a bit of a stretch.

I'd rather have a faulty drive Mac than a virus infected, non stop pop ups, ugly ass designed PC. LOL. But hey, that's just me.

Yep, even though you're throwing a fit about it, you still haven't convinced me that because your computer won't spit out a CD, that all computers of that brand suck, sorry.

Even if you were saying your car's transmission died and so you hate that brand of car - maybe you were the one in a million who got unlucky, or you were the one treating it like shit.

Calling the developer a bastard is what gets me. /rollseyes I suppose when you buy a new windows machine instead and it gives you the blue screen of death, you'll hate Gates too. Hmm after you hate every developer. . .then what will you be working on?

Maybe I would respect your post if it was even slightly pro-active about fixing your problem.
