Apple is frustrating sometimes.  The endless restrictions, the frustrating lack of information pertaining to new products, and the price...my god the price!  It seems as if one member of CNBC remained unaware to the Apple norm.  CNBC's Jim Goldman vented this week regarding the ban on laptop use by the media at the recent shareholders' meeting.  Apparently he hasn't gotten the memo.  It's probably been sitting on his desk for the past eight years or so.  

Tom Krazit seconds my sentiments in his article regarding the incident.  While Apple's requires more privacy detail at its meetings then Barrack Obama, its no reason to get bent out of shape over it.  As an Apple consumer (MacBook, iPod, iPhone) I know what comes with the territory.  I pay too much for an electronic product, then I battle through its incompatibility issues, and finally I watch as the battery eventually dies on me.  SIDE NOTE: Why is it that with most objects they either stop working or they break.  But batteries...they die.  So dramatic.  

Guess what though?   I still buy their stuff.  I feel like an abused wife on the Maury Povich show, I just keep coming back.  Apple's good to me.  My laptop is easy to use and runs as fast as the day I got it.  My iPhone completes me.  Its as if Steve Jobs took a newspaper, a laptop, and a cell phone, threw them in a blender, poured them in a glass and garnished with a little bit of love.  So, you just don't understand my relationship with Apple and you never will!

This brings be back to Jim Goldman.  I get it, Apple has your ***** in a vice.  But isn't it worth it?  Isn't it worth that special feeling you get when Steve struts up there, black turtle neck, sleeves up, and presents us with greatness?  For a great parody watch this Mad TV spoof.  Their OCD has everything to do with their success, why deny them that.  iTunes one of the, if not the biggest provider of downloadable entertainment on the web because of it.  Sorry Mr. Goldman that Steve Jobs doesn't need you to run an extremely successful enterprise.  But you sure as hell need him to write your article.  So take some advice.  Get a pen and paper, leave the laptop (that Apple helped pioneer) at home, and get the news out in an hour.  It can wait.  And also, check out the new App Store, it's great!

   At the price I pay, it should be made of gold.
