You make a good poing. Misery loves company, and maybe if enough people call the accessibility line, when VO stops talking, Apple will fix the bugs that cause those problems. But, one should make an informed choice by knowing the risks. Diane

Perhaps if we all updated and showed our interest in getting things fixed it would all happen a lot quicker and the likes of Appple may concentrate a little more on the voice over side of some great software. Everyone to their own I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Shaun Oliver Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2014 6:06 To: 'OS X & iOS Accessibility' Subject: [Bulk] RE: iOS 8.0.2, to Upgrade or Not? I may be seen as confrontational with this response, but, I'mnot concerned with that. What concerns me, however, is the arrogants displayed by people who believe they know better than they who've coded the operating system we're discussing. Regardless of accessibility bugs, which aren't insurmountable, I might add, Each new IOS update includes security fixes to plug holes that were found in the last revision and were picked up too late to be included in the cycle. Irrespective of these bugs, a good number of which, have been addressed, to a certain extent, to suggest that people not upgrade so as to maintain useability, in my opinion is arrogant and gauche and utter folly. To suggest you have no issues with security in a previous revision of IOS is again folly. It only takes one misplaced tap to introduce malware to the system or open up a back door to be exploited by someone with little else to do than annoy the rest of us. If you want total security, you won't buy a smart phone. If you want moderate security, you won't connect it to the internet. If you want relative security, you'll stay on top of updates. <--- Mac Access At Mac Access Dot Net ---> To reply to this post, please address your message to [email protected] You can find an archive of all messages posted to the Mac-Access forum at the list's public Mail Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/>.
