Has anyone else heard of Poe’s law? I’m honestly not sure if your post is satire or serious. Replace Apple with any other manufacturer, and your post would be greeted with howls of derisive laughter. Seriously, re-read what you wrote objectively. You are honestly calling the CONSUMER stupid for not appreciating a product that doesn’t work the way they want it to? On Free Republic (a bastion of capitalist thought)? I feel like I’m taking crazy pills (/Mugatu)...
Anybody who understands software knows that it is a very complex set of instructions and that "bugs" are inevitable, especially in the beta phase and immediately upon general release (because a beta can't catch everything).
So they line up to be the "first" ones to purchase a product or download a new version and then complain that it wasn't completely perfect.
The previous version of iOS works just fine for those who don't have the patience for a glitch or two. The new version is not forced upon anybody. In fact, it took me 6 months to get around to upgrading to the latest OS on my MacBook.
