Devin,
I totally agree with your comment here. I don't think they meant
necessarily to break things, but this is what happens when you get all herky
jerky with things, and start flying through not paying attention. Why do
you think these idiot drivers who come speeding around corners/red lights
tend to wreck more frequently? Point made, I hope. LOL!
Chris.

My only problem with Apple at this point is that they're just a little too
excited. They rush on and trip over their own releases. They just gotta slow
down a little and put in a good automated quality control.

It ain't broke now. iOS 8.2 is on both my iPhone and iPad.

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
