Well there is one more very simple and minute reason i should be unhappy while using Mac ( being come from Windows world ). Its been more than half year i have been using Mac in my home computing use but still i am not used to its some of the behavior. This particular reason i dont like Mac is related to the Mac’s Window Full screen issue. Most of the Mac application dont go full screen to fit the monitor width but some of them do. For example i have used Adobe Photoshop which takes whole screen width while clicking Green Maximize control button . Similarly Adobe Reader and Default Mail app also behaves same. The problem i liked to mention here is even if the application window goes full screen to take the whole window width they are movable or draggable . Whats the logic behind this Apple ? Why the hell we want to move the application windows after it has taken entire screen width. We dont want to see the part of application window by moving it . The windows in this scenario should be fixed to the screen as long as user doesn’t click Green maximize button.
Have you ever noticed the Finder’s toolbar has some kind of mistake ( i think so ). The finder toolbar has Back/Forward button , View buttons, Quick Look, Action and a search box by default. One interesting thing i am not comfortable with is that why is the Back/Forward button labeled “Back” only . If it was to be labeled “Back” there should have been only Back Button and not the Forward button 
. Do you think its some kind of negligence or something which is not much thought of when designed ? .
I was navigating through the Apple india site ( apple.co.in ) for some support information . The main page of the site has JavaScript errors ( hello apple ! ) . That didn’t bother me much but i tried searching for info from the search field at the top right part of the homepage . The Ajax enabledsearch result are not displayed as drop down box as i type which happens in Apple global site. And yes the most importantly anything you search will result into a blank page . How weird.
I got a new iPod touch and was playing around with it . Connected it to my Mac and accessed from iTunes . Damn why it cant be accessed like USB device why only with iTunes. I was trying to setup an iTunes stores account and what i got as Terms and condition while signing up . Weird it is . Seems after i have updated iTunes to latest version 8.0.1 . I am not able to reproduce it. This happened in iTunes 8.0.0.
I sold my iPod touch today after using for some 2 weeks. I didn’t really like it ( lots of reasons to say ) except for its good UI and multitouch amazingness.
Below is the proof ( Click on the image for clear and larger screenshot. )
Before using Mac my favorite browser in Windows was Firefox ( not that i hate IE , because of Firefox addons features basically i love Firefox) . But when i moved to Apple Mac my favorite browser is Safari though it doesn’t have Addon’s flexibility as compared to Firefox . In Firefox world viewing the saved passwords is really easy . You just need to go to Firefox preferences in Mac ( and tools> options in Windows ) then to Security tab and click on the “Saved Passwords” then “Show Passwords” . Getting the forgotten passwords was , and still is , this easy in Firefox . I keep forgetting my usernames and passwords i use in different sites and personally i used this feature of Firefox many times. Quite sometimes i have also revealed my friends’ saved passwords , like a prank , in their Firefox browser . It is quite fun if your friends are not much aware of these stuffs.
