Excellent article @nicu. After reading yours and the related links and comments I have found my favorite post.

‘Most importantly, I think, is that Apple people are continuously looking around for things that irritate them or piss them off. Then they analyze “what can I do to this to make my (and everyone else’s) life better?”‘

Remote control(s) piss me off. After being forced by Comcast to install a ‘box’ on every TV with an associated ‘universal’ remote control I find it necessary to use at least two complex remote controls to access even the simplist of functions like volume. Even then things don’t work. In one case even upping the volume to 100 is not enough and it must reek havoc with the set. No doubt Apple will be fixing this.
