Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Miffed at Siri

In the course of last weeks "active" discussion, I used caps intentionally on that occasion. To bring it to the attention of the "some people"

The other post needs too be read with what I wrote. Charles expanded on tones that are used on the internet. Tones and methods used to disarm anyone from the discussion, basically bullying. Then a certain someone says that everyone has a tone, which was intended to remove the intent of Charles comment, i.e. to make it valueless. Hence why I said "We are sposed to be talking about the tone some people use here"

I do praise Apple and Apple products. However, when i mention negatives they STAND OUT FOR SOME PEOPLE

Everyone has a tone is a meaningless statement. We are sposed to be talking about the time some people use here

I read your tone as being a shouting tone with the use of capital letters for the last 5 words of your paragraph, so no, "everyone has a tone is a meaningless statement" is not a meaningless statement.

Apple beta is new. It was employees, devs and not long ago it was released wider to the public in response to the increasing issues. A good thing. Take wifi as one example, you dont need beta testers or early adopters to find out that there is a wifi issue when a new OSX is released. One example

I do not see that a good sound non Apple laptop is any different to an Apple laptop. Where I work we had 5000, I dont see them being replaced and fixed every 18 minutes as some here imply. They just run. Being lower cost they are cheaper to run. Apple laptops are hardly prefect, they are made in the same placem, the same low wages workers. The same architecture. Or perhaps my lengthy exposure to PC;s has just been plain lucky...

Perhaps you should consider the concept of praising "benefits" (things that you like) instead of not commenting on them at all.

> I dont feel I have a tone, although those that dislike ANY criticism of Apple may think so.

EVERYONE has a tone.

I've been in Apple beta programs. There is a lot of software testing before release. But NO ONE can test software like 1,000,000 early adopters.

> Its easy to state that many many many Windows users have ongoing problems, that they have to fix every day. The latter part of the sentence is what someone else said the other day. So it must be a fact. It is also a common nag from some Apple fan users, down with MS etc. The costs to buisinesses [sic] who use Windows must be massive.

That has, in fact, been shown by economic analyses of business's cost of maintenance and operation over the lifetime of a product.
