Apple Just Isn't What It Used To Be

Apple didn't build the hard drive so it appears that your woe is misdirected.
That fact kind of deflates the rest of your argument IMHO

As a customer, I'm very interested in their computer products, but as a shareholder, I don't mind that they sell more music than Wal-Mart.

Apple's hard drives come from the same places the hard drives in PCs come from.....
This just in... Apple is a digital lifestyle company... they also make the computers to enable this .... Apple saved itself by creating the iPod and has bucked the current economic trend by innovating the iPhone. I use my Mac 10 hours a day, my iPhone as well. I buy quality products and expect them to work. I've bought a lemon from Apple before. I estimate that I spent at least 100 hours over the course of 4-5 months trying to get working dependably. Apple eventually replaced the unit with a newer top-of-the-line Mac Pro. I'm beyond satisfied with the outcome. It's probably my 12th mac purchased from Apple. Just because Apple has created a separate division to create ipods, and another to create iPhones doesn't mean that they have to stop making great computers. Apple is not one single person only capable of a singular focus. How things are today, will not be the way things are forever. If Apple fails to provide quality products to its core market, it will create a gap in demand that will be filled by a company who will do this. It may not be fun during the process, but in general a, markets work this way. Since you are going to college to be CEO of Apple, I would suggest you broaden you vision and that you should be the next "One more thing..." And I'm being serious... Visionaries don't strike out to plow furrowed ground. PS Hope you're not a troll.

And my friends think I'm blindly obsessed with Apple...
No, as CEO I would not want someone "trashing" my company, which I have no intention of doing by the way, but I would not want my customers to feel taken advantage of either. Again, I realize that hard drives run at ridiculous speeds and occasional failure is inevitable. I am not a troll. I am frustrated. It's not about this MacBook or my last MacBook or my 4th Gen iPod nano. It's about principle. And It's about losing faith in a company that you've believed in your whole life. My mistake, I thought that Apple aficionados like yourselves could relate.

It all has to do with rates of failures and probabilities. You lost that coin flip. It happens.
Buck up, call Applecare and get it fixed. It only takes three days. Call them, they send a box, you put your computer in that box, call them to pick it up. One day to the repair center, one day to fix it and one day for it to come back. And your beautiful life with your MBP starts all over again.
