#12And as expected, Mr. Gruber downplays this terrible, terrible bug. http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/10/25/castro-iphone If Microsoft (or Adobe) released an update to the software which wiped out data as precious as your personal photos, I am sure he would not talk about backups, but thrash the company.
Seriously, you can't take a Mac advocate's casual blog post, post it here yourself , and then argue that it isn't fair and balanced enough. It is not Jon Gruber's job to shout from the rooftops when things go wrong with Apple products. And chances are, if it is a real problem, there will be a starred long-form blog post forthcoming from Gruber describing it in more detail. This is among the more tiresome recurring co…
Actually, I wasn't complaining. Just observing. I don't know why I should not be allowed to note all the instances where Gruber's bias show up.

How can he downplay it when we don’t even know the full extent of the problem? That forum thread is not exactly ginormous and as you can see, many updated without a problem (myself included).
It’s an absolutely horrible bug but Gruber doesn’t say otherwise.
Oh, and also, this is no Antennagate. Nobody cares about iPhoto, at least if compared to the amount of people who care about the iPhone.

Here's a hint: you didn't just spot another elusive occurance of the fabled Gruber bias. He wears it on his sleeve.

#16Nice headline. Digg may be dying, but its spirit clearly lives on.
Re: iPhoto 11 upgrade problems
#17Why would iPhoto keep the photos themselves in any other format than the original files and just point to them from the metadata store? The most I would to with the files would be to compress them using some lossless (obviously) algorithm, keeping the filenames and formats... This way, the worst that could happen would be metadata corruption for the new version's metadata with preservation of the original information.

It feels like September 55th...
Re: iPhoto 11 upgrade problems
#19I hardly think it's worse than antennagate. The iPhone's antenna issues caused so much of a stir because they impact the basic usage of the device. Is iPhoto such a core piece of MacOS functionality that this bug will make people stop buying Macs?
Then again, the timing along with the iPhone screen lock bug could have been better...
Re: iPhoto 11 upgrade problems
#20I had no problems with iPhoto 11 but historically iPhoto upgrades have been hit or miss for some so it doesn't really surprise me. Hopefully people will learn to backup someday. You just can't trust any software with your data. I'm not sure Apple is any better or worse at this than others but you might as well assume they do zero testing and your data is just a big joke to them. If everything works you're pleasantly surprised. If it catches on fire you have nothing to worry about.
