REMOVED LYRICS:

"Apple has great design" is the biggest myth in technology today, writes Ian Bogost from The Atlantic.
In truth, Apple’s products hide a shambles of bad design under the perfection of sleek exteriors.
Apple’s products are beautiful, but beautiful objects whose operation never matched their appearance.
Apple never cared what its customers thought, or wanted. It told them what to like, and how to like it.

LINER NOTES:

I'd spent a lifetime avoiding Apple because its proprietorial, monopolistic practices irritated me. ("What? You have to use an Apple product to listen to an album you've bought from iTunes?!" This was in the days before every phone played m4a.) But I relented when I saw how easy it was for my five-year-old to make music on Garageband using my wife's iPad. So I was pretty surprised, after years of using products that just worked, to find that Apple's so often didn't. The makers of the iPad Digital Audio Workstation I use, Auria Pro, recommend you don't use iTunes in conjunction with their product because the user experience is so bad. Instead they recommend using a third-party app, iFunBox, that could be used to pirate their own product. That speaks volumes.
