			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisbrogan/461838596/" title="Live From Apple Store by Chris Brogan, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/238/461838596_0cf28ffac9_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="Live From Apple Store" align="left" /></a> Dear Apple: go to Hell. </p>
<p>My laptop is falling asleep lately and not waking up. I called the Apple Store number and was told I have to book on the web. Great, except that my laptop is offline. So, I go through the phone tree a few times, finally reach a human, and then beg for a sense of how busy they are. Answer: very. </p>
<p>Okay, so staffing is staffing. I understand you&#8217;re busy today. </p>
<p>But the &#8220;must book appointments online&#8221; bullshit? Why? I&#8217;m pissy about this. I&#8217;ve been a customer since 1984 (first Mac). I&#8217;ve got the stupid iPhone. I buy all your toys. I tell other people to buy your toys. </p>
<p>You&#8217;re forcing me to a website because it&#8217;s more convenient for you? </p>
<p>GFY, Apple. </p>
