Help the revolution: submit feedback
This is more of a public service announcement and reminder than anything, inspired by TUAW reader Jer's comment on my .Mac syncing UI silliness post. Jer asked whether we were submitting feedback to Apple concerning gripes like the one I blogged, and the answer is 'most definitely yes.' This brief dialog inspired me to take the opportunity to urge all Mac users everywhere to do the same.
If you have a complaint, a feature request, or maybe you just found a bug in Mac OS X, or another piece of Apple's software, apple.com/feedback is a great place to go and tell them about it. Most of Apple's apps are categorized there, and it's a simple process for submitting your comment. While I don't believe it's in their policy to reply to anything submitted there, you can rest assured that it's one of the best places Apple uses to collect the information they use to keep tabs on how we like their software, especially when it comes to creating all those official bug reports you'll find sprinkled throughout their support and knowledgebase articles (besides, who wants to take bets that their engineers have TUAW in their newsreader?).
So remember boys and girls, when it comes to feature requests, UI gripes and bug squashing: ask not what Apple can do for you... but submit some feedback so the world's best operating system can get even better.

You know, I submitted the suggestion that Apple have folders for playlists at least twice at least a couple years before they did it. But, I'm happy that it finally got done. It doesn't matter that they could have done it way back when and it would have been just as easy. But the moral is, my suggestion made a difference and they made the change.

Maybe I am missing something - but where does one submit feedback about the iMac?

Yes, the page seems a little lacking... no Mac mini, iMac, or MacBook Pro. Yet there's an iWeb and Aperture. Any ideas, anyone?

Interestingly, iTunes feedback is only for request more music in the store; I guess they think iTunes the application is perfect. D'oh. It really bugs me when I go to search my library when I've got a playlist selected and it loses the search terms when I select my entire library.

When you select PowerMac you get additional options to select the system. Maybe more appropriate would be "notebook" and "desktop".
