The only reason I am posting this is because it is funny. John Mayer, singer, songwriter, musician and Mac fan, actually used the report tool to contact Apple. You know…like they’ll respond. Because he’s famous. Well, a week has went by (he posted this on his blog) with no response so I thought I would post it here because I know the folks at Apple read the [H]. :D

Anyways, things got all haywire after that, and I had to force quit, And that’s when I got the message and decided that instead of letting it go I would send a report. I’m not mad or anything, I just thought you’d want to know the specifics of the situation so you can better track the problem.

i always kind of though john mayer was just some kind of a perv... but recently found a few songs of his i like...

plus he gets points for being on dave chappelle a while back and this blog aint bad either...


I can hear it now, the squeak of a chair pushing away from a desk as a man grinds his cigarette into an ashtray, stands up waving a printout over his head and screams "WE GOT AN iTUNES CRASH OVER HEEAH!!!"

lol that gave me a chuckle
 
5 bucks says whoever actually gets that email reads it and says "who's john mayer?"
 
Rush Limbaugh did a similar thing by complaining about his apple support woes on his show and Steve Jobs personally assigned an engineer to Rush to fix the problem. Lol, what level of support do you need to get personal service from the CEO?
 
wait... i thought macs had teflon coated memory sheaths that prevented data from getting stuck so that, you know, they never crash? :rolleyes:

Yea that's just in the commercials... You know, to where they can't be immediately validated...

There's backslapping and there is ridiculous...
Stevo will assign engineers to the top dogs, to make Apple look better in the media and such? What's the excuse for the regular joes?
 
If the blog gets more publicity then Apple will reply to him, otherwise they won't even know they got the message. As is usual with almost every single company I have ever dealt with, bug reports are ignored unless there is just enough publicity to make the company look bad for not fixing it.
 
Microsoft reports are actually put into a database and the more common problems receive higher priority for resolution. At least that's what my friend who works there says.

I was gonna say. Who the hell's John Mayer? And is that lipstick he's wearing on his blog image? :eek:
 
He's a funny guy. I dunno if any of you checked out his 2girls1cup spoof video. It's him and some black guy eating ice cream in a sexual like way. Pretty hilarious, he even made it on the actual 2g1c website. I believe it said, Nice try John Mayer, you may have a future in this career or something along those lines.

Also just looked at an issue of Blender, him in a borat outfit, The one that just covers your nuts in a V shape.

Rush sure loves this Apple stuff which is funny since you'd think the Mac culture and Rush are total opposites. I do like his show though, you have to listen to it for a little while to get the full understanding of it. If you just tune in one day you'd only think he was a total ass.
 
Apple doesn't care who you are. You will be shunned and bent over but you're gonna love every bit of it. When big daddy Steve ponies up right behind you and you feel that sting as he first inserts his keychain into your file system, a tear falls down your cheek, it hurts, but you're just a little bitch anyways. You know you can't escape Apple, you even want to migrate big daddy Steve inside your mouth to make sure he's happy.

I digress...
(I'm a sick bastard, i know.)

LMAO! Funniest thing I've read all day.
 
I haven't dealt with Apple cust support for their consumer products, but anytime I have had a problem with itunes, they have gotten back to me in a reasonable amount of time, usually within a day or so.. :)
 
I'm assuming that he represents the general technical proficiency of mainstream Mac users. ...with such terminology as "hit the blue button, instead of the white one".

...it's kind of funny, I've NEVER had my PC freeze or lock up because "I asked too much of it sometimes". Microsoft should get ruthless and quote Mayer's blog in their next commercials. Hopefully it'd shut the annoying Mac vs. PC ads up...

Actually, John Mayer is a smart guy. He builds his own effects pedals from kits.

Just so you know he's not a dummy.
 
Being computer dumb has nothing to do with his overall intelligence. I know a ton of folks that are extremely smart- they just don't know squat about a computer, though.

Yes, but most people equate the inability to do certain things on the computer with overall ineptitude.

I'm sure he's not "dumb" in the overall scheme of things. I mean, he does seem to be good at structuring a song and providing a successful business plan to his career. ...just seems from his post that he's the type that would call one of us here (if we knew him) if his computer "started acting funny". ;)
