Okay, maybe 90%, all my friends who had iPhone 4, and most of the people I see around with iPhone 4 have the problem. How can I tell? They have accessibility thing on the screen.

I apply a few drops of alcohol and it works again for a while. I was about to go to change it a few times, when it is really pissing me off, but then I would have to put sim card somewhere else, and this Android phone I have is kinda horrid, plus I will loose my contacts. I have an old iPhone 3G, but you can't sync iCloud contacts to it either. And then I have to pay for what I believe is a manufacturer's defect. So I am just slowly working through a bottle of alcohol.

I was thinking about getting a Kindle, but then every book review on Amazon includes a complaint about book being unreadable on Kindle. And I was interested mainly in books about programming that include listings which get garbled. So I thought why bother... At least I can read PDF on iPad.

Exactly, I have linked to that post a while back as well.

I have ~40000 songs in iTunes, what about you? And Chrome was working fine until I moved to a new house. Regarding me being the only person with this – maybe you can tip the other guys in the right direction too? http://google.com/search?q=chrome+error+324

Oh right, so I am not imagining things. Or maybe you have "installed something you shouldn't have"? I had to buy a couple of new routers back then for my first-gen Macbook Air simply because it couldn't connect to a non-Apple Wi-Fi. There are more examples in this post: http://dear-apple.com/dear-apple-put-yourself-together-82158

So you are saying that crashing not very often and delays that don't exceed 30 seconds are the signs of quality? I have around 40000 songs, this is why we have a different experience I guess. Each time I force-quit iTunes, I have to wait around 7 minutes for it to check the library when starting again.

Chrome iOS is just an alpha version of an app, it's kind of strange that it is basically a wrapper around Safari and so buggy.

Actually I use AirPort Express for a few years now, except running hot it is tip-top otherwise. D-Link Wi-Fi router I bought for my mom was loosing Wi-Fi point a couple times a day and needed a reboot to get back on track. Replaced it since.

I use Ubuntu (and Debian before that) in production servers and can't complain. Now I am thinking about trying Ubuntu as a desktop, but didn't get a box for it to live in.

I wish I could post anything about iTunes Match, but it's not for everybody: http://d.pr/i/6GYq

Made up? Dude, I don't have any other computers at home except made by Apple, and I am web-developer, not an office manager. I know my stuff.

Oh by the way I forgot I had a similar post a while back http://dear-apple.com/dear-apple-put-yourself-together-82158

It lists some other issues, many of them are fixed by now and yet I simply can't list every thing that doesn't work.

I am a web-developer and I guess it is different with Xcode, but I would like to have my colors in HEX, like I had them before Lion came out. Amazed with your iPhone 4 experience, but where I live almost everybody I see has a "accessibility controls" on the screen because home button doesn't work. Regarding iTunes, my library might be too big, but each morning I see it used 5Gb of ram and after force-quitting it I have to wait for like 7 minutes while it is checking the library.

I can assure you, I don't install anything I shouldn't, I just USE my hardware. Not just "sending emails, receiving email", but doing work on them all day, every day. And this is when the issues start to come up.

Only then you start noticing little things like how headers in those 'Group by' modes in Finder obscure the actual file names, that you can't sort files in the Open window, that every time you try to save the file with a new name it offers you to save to iCloud, etc..

I think they need to stop adding new stuff and fix what's already released. Snow Leopard was the best version of OS X because they did exactly that. Bug fixing. No new stuff.

Apple doesn't even have an open bug-tracker. That alone could improve a lot. discussions.apple.com is full of issue-discussing threads with thousands of replies, but nobody gives a damn.

Chrome was my weapon of choice but I am moved to a new house and this Error 324 issue started. Click reload and the very same page I was just looking at doesn't work anymore. It affects sites with CloudFlare as far as I could figure, but all other browsers are working fine.
firedev··on Everything just doesn't work and nobody cares
I wish, but sorry, what pastures? Everything else is even worse. And I am a web-developer, not somebody who buys stuff because it looks nice.

I remember in Lion I had to always re-enable Trackpad zoom in preferences because it wasn't working otherwise.
firedev··on Chats are not dead yet
http://jaconda.im is #1 for developer team chat. We use its integration with git and issue tracker. Has XMPP, persistent and basically the shit.
