Vox Pop: What's your "Mac Whine?"

Submitted by Merlin on February 28, 2007 - 3:00am.

We’ve started a new feature over on MacBreak Weekly that I really hope becomes a regular thing: “_Mac Whines_!”

Yeah, sure, I’m an unapologetic Apple fanboy (I, mean duh), but some stuff about my Mac experience makes me crazy. Have you got a beef with your Mac or OS X you want to shout from the shiny counter of the “Genius” Bar? Yeah, me too.

I’ll open with:

  • inexplicable iCal “snooze” options (per MBW 30 – which, incidentally, may also be my favorite MacBreak Weekly to date)
  • near-hangs whenever a mounted network volume is no longer available
  • no way to (temporarily) enable password-free user switching
  • The Finder. The goddamned Finder.

What’s your Mac Whine?

@Mark Strong - thanks for the link. It looks promising, and it’s cheap.

Another whine - I can’t seem to find a way to share a calendar in iCal where I can block access to the notes. I’d like to be able to share with multiple people, but I use the notes in a way that frequently includes confidential information.
