I don't understand the hostility toward me. No, I don't work for Apple, but even if I did, that wouldn't make me any more right nor wrong. That assumption is 100% irrelavent. I'm sorry that you feel this way about me, and honestly, I don't understand your reasoning for calling me silly/stupid, nor any of the other derogatory comments made, however as I said a moment ago... If you can illustrate to me some logical reasoning for your comments, E.G, the specific problems that you have which thereby are still broken, then we'll talk.
Regardless the attitude which you have toward me, I genuniely hope that you have a lovely day.

OK, in Safari, on huge web pages, sometimes the item chooser will crap the bed, but even that is becoming more and more rare, and the main web site where I see this happen, is a major exception, as that page literally speaking has over 12 thousand links on it.

I can't attest to the functionality as I haven't been able to download it yet. I know that many apps need ios 8. I'm justwondering if it is worth it ot upgrade. In the past when I've upgraded, Voice Over tends to run slower. How is it now? Should I upgrade?

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 Yuma Antoine Decaux "Light has no value without darkness" Mob: +612102277190 Skype: Shainobi1 twitter: http://www.twitter.com/triple7 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
