iOS 6 All the Little Things

iTunes Match has rather rudimentary adaptive streaming. When I'm on 3G in an area with poor reception/bandwidth and it starts to stream a song, the quality will be rather abhorrentmakes my ears bleed. If I had to guess I'd say it's 96kbps, maybe lower. Connect to wifi or get a better 3G signal, skip to another track, then back to the previously low quality track and it'll be high quality again.
Not sure if there are any qualities available between crap and the normal "good enough."

You are confusing criminal and illegal. Something can be illegal (against the law), but not criminal. Valid contracts are legally binding.
But this is way off topic! I was just making a joke based on someone claiming a law degree not knowing the same difference. Sorry for the tangent.
No, it's neither a criminal act nor illegal. You're breaking a private contract between two civil parties. This makes you potentially liable to pay damages to the wronged party, but only if a judge decides you're liable. Either way, you haven't committed a crime or broken the law - you've broken a private contract.
And breaking a valid, private contract is against the law. Valid contracts are "legally-binding". The adherents are bound by law. This isn't rocket science!
I didn't realize that this was such a hot topic. If anyone would like to continue this discussion, please start a new thread and send me an invite.

Breaking a private contract is not against the law. It's a simple fact. It may open you up to litigation and the threat of having to pay damages in a civil court, but that's not the same thing as breaking a law.
Whenever you delete something (songs, movies, apps) directly from the iPhone, it never truly deletes the file. Ever. So eventually on iTunes you notice that you have gigs and gigs of "Other" data hogging all your data. Does anyone know if iOS 6 fixed that so when something is deleted on the iPhone, it truly deletes it? I hate having to restore my phone every few months.
Can't you take two jokes? I feel like anything that seemingly criticizes an Apple product is less likely to be taken as a joke around here.
The first one was serious though. I'm sick of the stupid thing going off in my backpack or on my desk when I'm (gasp) not next to it.

Breaking a contract is not "against the law." The adherents of a contract are not bound by law, they are bound by the contract itself.
Contracts are not approved or solmenized by a court (except marriage contracts, which are a different beast), yet they are often found to be invalid as against law, or against public policy when brought before a court for enforcement. Nothing in this country is "against the law" unless a person can reasonably determine that their potential action will be "against the law" before taking such action. This is impossible when contracts are merely formed between two private parties with no ratification by a court or legislature.
Put simply, the government has absolutely no standing to come after someone for breaking a private contract. The only government involvement is that the courts can help to enforce it if the parties cannot reach a settlement on their own.

New here* iOS 6
FEATURES: Idk if this was mentioned but in the camera app you can turn it upside down and it'll rotate, use the volume down button for a shutter button unlike the volume up only in iOS 5. Reminders app has a new calendar list (i did like how you can swipe through your cards but apple took it out) also a goodie today I said hello Siri and she replied back with hello, Happy Independence day.
BUGS: cannot delete purchased items in app store

Surrounding this debate about legality, I believe that Apple obviously doesn't care if non developers use their beta software. They recently got rid of the UDID requirement, so now anyone who is willing can load up the latest beta. And why is that a problem? It means more people to test out the features, and submit bug reports. Im not a developer, yet I've been running Mountain Lion for some time, as well as iOS 6 beta, and I've submitted bug reports, as well as contributed to this thread. Why is that bad for Apple? It's only very tech-savvy people doing this, therefore we wont complain if it messes up our devices. I think that the developers are simply complaining about the law because they feel the need to show their computing superiority through special privileges and perks.
Let's hope it's not the only one. Panorama camera software has been knocking around for the last major software updates but never made it. Perhaps a panoramic (16.9) screen will finally get this out the door. If not, who cares really, there's apps to do this already
Because a lot of those non developers who try iOS' betas left bad reviews in apps that didn't work in those betas and, therefore, it damages developers. Apple could ban reviews made from beta software though.
I have seen developers complaining about it and screenshots of the reviews, so it happens. It seems that not every one who try the betas is tech-savvy.
This might've been posted before with the whole changing volume knob in the music player, but did anybody else notice how the gradients (lighting, I guess) move as you tilt the device as well? I thought it looked weird that they weren't centred properly... anywayys
