I bought a new 6th Generation 160gig iPod. Not cheap as you know. So I get it home, burn some movies and I can not play it on my TV. I follow all the directions and nothing.

So I do some research and find out that rotten Apple has decided to go to vertical integration. Meaning you can only use their accessories on their new iPods. So I spend $350 on the iPod and am now forced to spend $50 on a cable and another $20 on an adapter so I can kep my iPod charged while I’m playing movies. So I buy a new cable and it is the wrong type, kind of my fault. It’s one of the new 5 output cables, the type where each color has its own output. So I call 1-800-rottenapple and they tell tell me, in broken english, that I need to buy a new Universal Dock. So, since this guy is a “genius” I believe him. I ask if I need to buy the Apple A/V cable as well and I’m assured that I do not. Well, I just got home, after trading for the newDock, and this new dock does not work.

What is up with this? I thought Apple was the greatest company in the world. well, it seems to me that they are trying to get their money back that they supposedly refunded to the iPhone buyers. Weren’t those merely gift certificates to their stores? So they made even more money off of their customers that they screwed over.
