iPhone / iPad auto complete

The people at Apple think they're pretty clever, producing swish looking gadgety things that make many a man and women lose control of their wallets or purses and hand over their hard earned cash to the evil machine - and I know the feeling, I've been afflicted with this brain wash technique twice.

Yet, one thing that annoys me about their products, more than anything else is the auto correct feature in which in apples infinite wisdom, they have decided to use the spacebar/punctuation as an indication you want to accept the prediction of what you were actually trying to type. How bloody stupid, regardless of whether I've got the word right or wrong, the buttons I'm naturally reaching for immediately after will be the spacebar or if I'm at the end of a sentence a full stop, question mark or if I'm feeling fancy an exclamation mark!

This results in me having to type several words over and over again, which is very grrrrrrrrrrrr! God knows, it's happened at least 10 times just typing this shit.

And another thing - is the fact they are called 'apple' ironic considering this was the infamous forbidden fruit that Adam and Eve (or was it Steve) couldn't resist? Perhaps all us Apple users will be going to hell (or he'll according to the decking auto correct) and if the love of all things apple related does result in a meeting with Satan in the past life, my love of cider and apple pie/crumble (how did you get 'dribble' from crumble Apple?) means I'm royally screwed!
