Apple Apologizes About FaceTime Bug, Software Update With Fix Delayed Until Next Week

Doctor Q said:
Are you sure? Then why didn't they simply say "as soon as our engineering team became aware of the bug..."?

I'm pretty sure the engineering team was already aware of the bug, and already working frantically on fixing it in secret...

I think we could safely say that is apocryphal. 🙂

It's just a bit too detailed to be merely apocryphal. It even describes "The small drop of aerosolized, Jobsian spittle landing in his right eye". You just can't make this up. http://vanshardware.com/2010/07/the-legend-of-apples-steve-jobs/

Probably takes time to fix.. I don't know if Apple's little legs can run faster based on the sensitivity of the issue, but.... anything is possible

At this point, all there is, is a loss of functionality. But I'm sure Apple is on "red alert" fixing the issue.

Jobs was the master of that, ask anyone who worked for him. Did a few sneak through, of course, but not every release as we are seeing now. And when these bugs did happen there was a price to pay and everyone knew what it was.

Oh my, how memory is a fickle thing. This mythical perfect Apple you dream about never existed. It was very common even when Jobs was in charge for users to wait weeks or months before updating their Macs until the major bugs in the latest OS were worked out. I don't know where people get this idea that Apple was perfect under Jobs. There's nothing special about the bugs found now except there are many more Apple customers.
