Biggest asshole design moves - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=moesislack;28526525]All the apple mice have right click. [editline]10th March 2011[/editline] From the apple mouse page in the store.

Hell, even left click doesn't work. The scroll ball is the only thing that really works on it.

[QUOTE=johan_sm;28535625]Is there any game other than source that even supports noborder?[/QUOTE] SC2 just defaults to it if you've selected your monitor's native res already. I only really play tf2, css, and sc2 so I can't really help you but I'm sure you could search around and find something if you have a particular game in mind. unfortunately valve has made it so that css forces maximum darkness/gamma (I prefer lowest/brightest) in windowed mode so in practice I don't actually run windowed mode for css. I guess this could be considered an asshole design move.

Touch screen keyboards. Eurgh.

Todays standard mouses being tiny

The aesthetics of Alienware. :barf:

I dislike apple's 1 button by default mouse, and when their scroll balls stop working.

[QUOTE=bl4h;28532628]This keyboard layout: [img_thumb]http://static.zooomr.com/images/5817713_55877cfbd2.jpg[/img_thumb] Main reason why I didn't buy an Aspire One.[/QUOTE] Fuck, I had that laptop. The bilingual layout was shit! When I learned to type, I never used the right shift key, meaning I was constantly missing that tiny left shift key... I was so close to buying a US layout keyboard off eBay. The laptop itself wasn't that bad, I bought a 9 cell battery for it and it would NEVER die. I also soldered in a USB port to fit inside the empty 3G card bay, inside which I put a bluetooth dongle. Unfortunately, over time a crack developed on that tiny strip of plastic on the right of the keyboard, the rubber feet and bits on the lid fell off. Since there was nothing preventing it from sliding around my desk, my cat pulled it off my desk and it landed screen-first onto a rock I was using as a doorstop. Cracked screen. Considering Acer was going to charge me half the laptop was worth that point, I just bought a new laptop. And guess what? THE KEYBOARD LAYOUT DOESN'T SUCK!

Not quite as bad as the guy (was it fptje?) who fell for a dude pretending to be a cyborg girl dying every week. :v: Now on the asshole design moves, the iPod Touch. This thing is made to look good, slim and shiny but when you have to open it up, brace yourself for the shitty design. I took one apart as carefully as possible to avoid breaking the glass and I ended up separating the glass from its plastic frame :argh:

After having mine since late in the summer, the back is scratched as hell. I've had my BlackBerry Bold 9000 for 2 years and the faux-leather backing doesn't have so much as a scuff.

Shit gets scratched so easily, and all the cases for the iPod Touch are rubber which annoys me.

Proprietary anything that doesn't need to be proprietary.

iMovie. I'm not going to substitue fucking CS5 for some shitty default software. Why not just buy a high end PC? Stupid school. On the subject of school, [i]Power Balance[/i].

Trackpads that sit where your hands are when you type. For example, when I'm taking notes in class, it's more than fucking annoying to have the cursor move to the middle some random word because my palm brushed against the trackpad. Small wireless mice - Yeah, let's make one of the most used input devices on a computer extremely small and annoying to use! Uncomfortable headphones - as in, the ones with padding as stiff as concrete and holes the size of pencils. Who the fuck is supposed to wear these things? Mutants? USB ports that are in annoying spots, so when you have a flash drive in a laptop, it makes its presence annoyingly known As it's been said, headphone locations in annoying spots on MP3 players - god forbid I want to listen to music on my iPod while I'm holding it sideways, so uncomfortable The assholes who decided there should be 400000 different types of screws with 400000 different types of threading, screwheads, lengths and widths - I know they all have their purpose in construction, but in computers, can we make one standard type of screw? I have a box full of screws that look like they should fit with other screws but don't because the threading was off of they were slightly too big/small Also, buttons on flatscreen TVs... on the top. If I buy a 60 inch plasma and mount it in the wall, I don't want to have to pull out a fucking stool or chair or something to turn the damn thing on because it didn't even come with a remote.

Free trials with LIMITATIONS on the trial software. Like timed trials with limitations. If I'm going to install this piece of shit to try it for 60 minutes, I better get the full fucking thing for 60 minutes. No half assing this shit. It's not fucking worth it.

Glossy plastic

On the black-widow ultimate the usb and headphone ports are on the right side, that's exactly where my mouse is.

Software that uses some flashy, glossy, eye candy, bullshit UI which is entirely inconsistent to any other program you've ever used in your entire life, making it more difficult than it ought to be to carry out a simple task. You see this nonsense so much in Windows, and not so much in Linux and Mac.
