This is the reason Forstall has left the building, iOS 6 is a disaster: * Maps was not ready for prime time (so bad it required a public apology) * Podcast was not ready for prime time. * Passbook was not ready for prime time. * App store is a step backwards. * Battery and WIFI issues. * Soooo many bugs. There are usually problems but this is the first time I've seen so much utter crap shipped including tons of minor…

How do you know that Forstall was the person advocating a yearly OS upgrade cycle? It seems just as likely to me that this rigid schedule was forced onto him and he couldn't deliver. Things like OS X Lion (a huge change under the hood) and the Maps places database just aren't things that can be built to a deadline.

I have never considered Apple to be a solid software company. They are a marketing company in the tech sector. If they made washing machines they'd be sexy as hell. In my years of exposure to Apple tech I have always been in awe of their industrial design, mechanical design and manufacturing prowess. Their software, however, often leaves much to be desired. I say this both as a developer and a user. From OSX to iOS t…

You don't say.

All that effort that went into humanizing BSD is absolutely laughable.

Here's an easy clue: if your comments never get above or below 1 point for days, that means you are hell-banned.

The only thing you could infer from that is that you're not a bad enough poster to warrant downvotes.

Another clue is that nobody ever responds to you.

Not really. It's a sure sign that you are hell-banned.

I mean, we can check statistically, and I bet we would find that nobody stays at 1 point forever in all his comments.

(And it's also upvotes you won't be getting).

Hmm, so this explained my 3G data overage last month. I have 6GB/month of data, and usually I'd be using around only 700MB. But last month my iPhone 4S (running iOS 6.0) consumed nearly 8GB in total, resulted in quite some overage fee. Should I ask Apple for a refund for this? :|

Last month I moved and didn't have an ISP at home for the first 3 weeks or so. I set up tethering on my phone and a 5GB data plan. Yesterday I got a notice that I was over my data limit. I haven't done a whole lot of web surfing in the new house, but I have listened to a ton of podcasts using the Podcast app which I have never done before. So if I just blew through 5 GB of data in 2ish weeks and the only thing differ…

Interesting. I was using the Podcast app too, which I believed was the reason for the data overage. It shouldn't be, though. A few podcasts are definitely under 1GB. This AV Foundation Framework issue seemed to be the root cause.

They bought Logic and most Logic fans will tell you that they've mostly just dumbed it down and dropped the price since then, turning it into "GarageBand Pro". Not really much of a feather in their cap, particularly if you compare it to what the competition has been able to accomplish in the time timeframe.

> They bought Logic and most Logic fans will tell you that they've mostly just dumbed it down and dropped the price since then, turning it into "GarageBand Pro" I'm a Logic Pro user (and my brother is a Logic Pro, err, pro). Logic today has nothing at all to do with Logic at the time Apple bought Emagic. It's extremely more polished and powerful, with far more capabilities (from amp modeling, to flex audio manipulati…

You're in the minority opinion here. I've been making music on computers for over ten years and actually code my own VST plugins so I'm pretty familiar with this market and Ableton, Cubase, ProTools, StudioOne etc have all left Logic in the dust with the possible exception of midi editing which was a core strength of Logic since the Emagic days. The engineering team in Germany seems to have mostly been assigned to GarageBand.

I know far, far more people that have dumped Logic for something else since the acquisition than the other way around. None of them can be dismissed as dilettantes. And I don't know anybody that uses it for serious audio work. ProTools continues to utterly dominate that market.

Makes you think twice about those graphics where iOS devices take a big piece of the pie of the "internet usage"

No it doesn't. Those aren't tracking bytes streaming over the internet, but rather web browsers visiting pages.

Even ignoring the bytes, it looks like one client may show up in the web logs as downloading the file a dozen times. If you aren't careful about cleaning up the stats, that may overrepresent iOS.

I know, it's pretty obvious when it happens. Thanks, though.

I've tried getting around it in various ways but I really can't seem to. So, posting into the abyss.

Well, a mess was shipped and he was the guy in charge. So I'm assuming he was the guy responsible. If a mess really was forced upon him he should have resigned instead of sticking around to ship the mess.

I have in that exact same situation, "This will not be associated with me, I'm out"
