Subject: To the moderators, is this really the type of person or content you
want on this list?
I'm not easily offended, and have a fairly high tolerance for four-letter
words, but this is over the top. In addition to being completely
inappropriate, it's also very disrespectful.
thank you,
Donna

I have had nothing to do with this thread but really this sounds like a
small spoilt child ranting in a playground.
We normally have grown up discussions on this list without hurling
personal insults at each other.
Could the moderator please confirm this is inappropriate on this list. If
this is the tone of emails I will have to read then I will be off.

All of the nightmarish things that happened with I O S 8 in the
beginning have pretty much been fixed.
I run I O S 8.2 on all of my devices, including my IPad Air first
generation, and all is very very smoothe. I really don't have any issues any
longer. OK, in Safari, on huge web pages, sometimes the item chooser will crap
the bed, but even that is becoming more and more rare, and the main web site
where I see this happen, is a major exception, as that page literally speaking
has over 12 thousand links on it.
Sorry, I'm not at liberty to go into what this site is, you're just
gonna have to trust me with this.

The app is called WritePad. I can't attest to the functionality as
I haven't been able to download it yet.
I know that many apps need ios 8. I'm justwondering if it is worth
it ot upgrade. In the past when I've upgraded, Voice Over tends to
run slower. How is it now? Should I upgrade?

I still haven't upgraded to iOs 8 on my iPad 2. I'm still running
iOs 7. I found a handwriting recognition app that needs iOs 8 to
install. Should I update, or can I expect slower operation?

Hi all,
I don’t know about yall, but I have an iphone 6 with IOS 8
and I have to say that the experience is less than stellar.
Bugs everywhere, slower than on my iphone 5s, siri cut off
midway then voice over not working, hang like slowness when
getting out of an app. I have to say that I have started
looking for alternatives as I feel like apple is trying to
nudge things too much into the “let big brother figure out
for you what you should like and do”. Point in case, that U2
debacle. Last weekend I was camping with some mates and I was
going through some tracks after lunch, and those damn U2
tracks kept popping up like annoying ads. Really don’t want
some band pushing their crap on my life experience when I
shelled out 1200 dollars for a phone that is supposed to do
things for me. Not the other way around. Sure, U2 has some
great songs. But their current 50’s midlife crisis moans
aren’t my style, nor inspire me. I can listen to that when I
go into an apple store and wait for a genius to tell me my
future.
Seriously folks, I’m not just going off on a rant, and for
those of you who want to reply by being defensive for apple,
just remember a few basic things:
1-You are customer. Customer is king, you are not serving
apple. Apple makes money off you, take 30 percent of the cut
on your music production or app developement with their
platform. They serve you. Not the other way around.
2-Apple is not god almighty. Apple has great people that
collectively create experiences. At the helm, a few
individuals decide on the direction of that experience.
Personally, I don’t trust Tim Cook that much in giving us a
good experience. That Johnny Ive sounds like a pompous
marketing guy with design skills I cannot trust as head of
human interface, a software division, coming from someone who
used to make toilet seats. The only one or ones I can trust
in this are frederici and some of the younger engineers
presented at the last apple showcase. but they don’t have
enough say yet, so we’re stuck with all that flash graphical
transition animation style crap instead of truly clean,
efficient and snappy interfaces.
3-There are other choices out there, but I have no idea what.
Sometimes I wish I was sighted again so that I can really be
part of the process of creating real interfaces for everyone.
It’s frustrating to know that most companies follow what is
standard and forget that standards are meant to be broken and
updated. Not broken at the cost of the buyer, no. If it’s
broken, it should be free, such as what google offers. Buying
a 3000 dollar piece of hardware to get clunky experiences and
moments where you want to throw that damn thing out the
window and never touch it again is clearly not what I call
good experience on a computer. More and more of my friends,
mac users, both sighted and visually impaired, agree with me
that apple is starting to rot in terms of presenting it’s
image. It’s not an underdog but a huge bulky oil tanker that
can now only manuver slowly with a battalion of lawyers
behind murmuring at the chief’s ears, the latter being
probably more complacent than should be, thus giving us this
weird awkward show each year now with a barely straight
talking TIm Cook who sounds like he never had a girl friend
chill time or something seems amiss in him. Some soul?
Something. Whatever the case, I don’t really dig the style
apple is portraying. It’s becoming a disney world
presentation with oooohs and aaahs when the tech behind is
quite literally lagging. No visionary stuff, when this
qualification should by now, from all the sci fi, the
research and the graduations of bright people, should lead us
much farther in terms of actual interaction with a computer,
and let’s not forget screen readers.
Anyway, off for my morning coffee. Have a great day yall
