You understand that this is analogy is completely bogus, right? You want to use analogies, try to use ones that make sense: Johnny's mom is an incompetent mother because she failed to test the cheese that she put in his ham sandwich for E.Coli, salmonella, lead, melamine, and every other possible contaminant, and he threw up in gym. You are saying that it's the vendor's responsibility to analyze the microcode of every third-party component and find every possible bug, and that failure to do so is proof of incompetence? Seriously? Now, I've never taken apart a Mac, iPod, or iPhone, but I'm betting that they all contain plenty of third party components. Is it your position that teams of Apple engineers have analyzed the microcode of each and every one of those components, including the CPUs, and that there is no possibility of a bug in any of them? And that if there -were- a bug in one of them, it would indicate that incompetent Apple has no idea how to build computers?
