It was clearly condescension. I've owned an Apple product since right around 1988 and one thing about some people who have thousands of posts that I've noticed tend to have this superiority complex. What they have however is an apparently abundant amount of time on their hands and instead of saying " yeah that *** but here is an article you might find interesting" you end up getting the response like you got. Which says basically "Hey I really don't have time for this..... its been stated multiple times..... so do some more rummaging around."


It's clearly been the reason why I tended to avoid these forums as much as possible.



REMEMBER: " ITS NOT WHAT YOU SAY< ITS HOW YOU SAY IT" this old addage applies to netiquette as well!

Yes, it is crazy... it's called sarcasm. 😉


It was posted to make light of all the silly "when will iOS5 relase" posts. Those that believe it are way too embedded into their iPhone.


It will be here when it's here. It's just a phone update, not the cure for cancer. People need to get a life outside their iOS device. Just read through this and other related threads... people have some serious issues regarding this. Life should not be scheduled around a device update that can be done anytime after release.

I would recommend/advice don't wasting time to keep pressing 'Check for Upgrade'.. if the place you live is in dark, just go bed and rest.. Apple wont release iOS 5 within next few hours (all Apple staff are in the sweet dream).. come back in 5-8hours later should be a great choice... I from Singapore, probably I will wake up somewhere 3am in Singapore time to check the upgrade as last nite I woke up 3.35am to upgrade iTunes 10.5...


Yep.. just chill Guys. I agree with 'KHSteve'. Just have patience... as Yoda once said.

I've only clicked on the update once.. Just. It came up the 4.3.5 msg.


Don't understand what's the fuss with these ppl in twitter/forums saying they keep clicking it every 5 mins.. o.O


err.. yea. ha. im going to sleep when it's time. Health is more important.


but i do look fwd to it.. just not trying to click update every min or so.. LoL

Yea, seriously!


Is apple going to make us wait until tonight at 23:59:59, or what?


I'm bored of waiting, If it ain't out in an hour I'm downloading it from somewhere else!


I know you can download it from the Apple Developer site, it was released there a while ago so all app developers can preemptively update their apps so that there isn't any problems. Anyone else notice how 80% of your apps have updates today?
