Not everyone, and even then only the one seems to be so incredibly butthurt.
Kinda dumb that the "Finds and Fixes" thread was closed because they wanted the discussion to be in this news thread. This isn't the "Finds and Fixes" thread, this is a news article discussion. The last several betas had those threads and, besides the senseless stupid bickering that some immature children decided to have, it had its purpose separate to this news article.
Anyway, had some issues with the iPhone dmg after downloading, my Mac wouldn't recognize it for some strange reason. Had to redownload it. Waiting for my iPhone and iPad to charge before installing it.

Finally, some news on i0s 6.1, Hoping it'll come next week sometime. I hope it will improve performance a little. They seem to have taken their time on this one, testing it thoroughly, the same with mountain lion and the 10.0.3 beta/or gm.
i dont have that problem on my iphone 4S. Or is that just a Iphone 5 problem because of the screen?
may as well... Looks it its always going to stay in beta.. Jailbreaking may be quicker....
At least wi'll get it this year.
Must be the longest time ever between a beta and a public release (with still no date) ... Apple was saying this months ago.
Must of found a few more bugs.
It's an iPhone 5 exclusive. Instead of centering the album-artwork they placed it right above the "slide to unlock" bar.
I think people are more upset that there are ZERO new features. iOS 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, and 5.1 all brought some new features. It would be nice if there was at least one new feature.
I haven't got the official email yet about the build, but logged in got the Beta 5 build for my iPod touch 5th generation, went to update the firmware in iTunes and get "This device isn't eligible for the requested build", yet I have full developer access and never had this issue with any previous builds, and nothing has changed on my system. Any ideas?
I've been bummed out by Apple's software releases as of late. Am I the only one that feels they're focusing too heavily on their hardware and the software development is taking a back seat. I'm speaking in regards to patching their current apps and OS.
So. Conspiracy time.
Do you think Apple labelled this a beta to try and entice the exploits the JB community have found thus far out of hiding?

I don't think they will release anytime soon till jailbreak drops first...it's a waiting game.
To the people speculating that this is the GM, this proves that this is a beta and not the GM. (unless Apple screwed up AGAIN like they did with the OTA on iPhone 5 on iOS 6.0...)
I think the "smarter" way to do that would've been to call this GM, let the dev-team release their jailbreak, then Apple could go "Oh, we found this major showstopper bug in the GM, here's a new GM build (that just so happens to kill your shiny new jb exploit)."
Nah, the Jailbreak won't drop till public ios 6.1 drops. Apple needs to get ios 6.1 out soon to fix the LTE issue...Fussing with jail breakers is like adults fighting with kids.
Wouldn't surprise me if that is the case. Apple seems to be so against the jb community I am sure they will do whatever they can to patch it as soon as it is released and they determine the exploit.
