What Bugs Apple Fans About Apple
An anonymous reader writes "Forbes.com went to MacWorld to ask Apple fans what bugs them about the computer and gadget maker. Turns out the lack of replaceable batteries, need to buy Vista separately, and most of all the stock price bugs people."
why does building web sites *require* two monitors?
Ok apples developers... either go back to school or listen to Mr God here.
1. Every fucking failure point MUST log an error message with a severity number, so it can be filtered out. Every damn if() else... LogError( "my stupid code failed coz im a looser" );
Sure your code could be 10% larger with 1meg of text errors, but its better than Windows Lookalike software that magically fails.
2. Give your software away for free to universities, more users equals more testers equals better quality feedback especially from smart users, if you loose $100million in sales there who cares, all those
students will then recommend apple in corporate environments, not MS puke ware.
3. Listen to your beta testers, users, tell your product manager "oh yeah im am doing those 8 bug fixes", but sneak in some lower pri ones that are high profile and embarrassing.
Liberty freedom are no1, not dicks in suits.
