Indeed … there are problems I've had with OS X since 10.0, which I foolishly thought would always get fixed in the next version … etc, they don't seem to ever fix long term bugs, they're too busy wasting money on other stuff like a new donut shaped saucer style headquarters, share price based monetary obsession, sapphire glass and patent trolling, to be able to concentrate on making a great productive refined operating system or indeed most importantly listening to their users. I think the problem with apple seeming incapable of fixing they're own bugs must be related to the way they organize coding on their software and operating systems, perhaps they're heavily dependant on individuals whose code is no doubt unintelligible to others on the team, as such if that person leaves apple, the code becomes legacy and cannot be operated on. Many pieces of software I have purchased have died a death this way, with an increasingly untouchable code base. I even had one developer for a different company openly admit as such to me about they're own code base. The Hash they've made of the operating system, successive itunes revamps and the incredible final cut pro debacle, Its mind blowing to me they could damage they're own products and not have the intelligence necessary to realise it, or do do something about it, they're too big ultimately this will lead them to get worse and worse at what they do, they are now the big brother in they're 1984 advert, vainly spouting propaganda and ideology about themselves at others and their staff without listening to anyone, stuck on they're agenda which has little to do with increasing the productivity of computer users, there OS's now mainly revolve around entertainment and are tailored to sell more media from apples own online stores, further locking you further through media and app investment into they're walled garden and share price increase. Sadly theyre is little alternative as most tech giants are at the same torrid game.
