Seeing as you knew what I intended to write it is a rather moot point. If my spelling mistake had caused confusion I would understand your need to point it out.
Unfortunatly my phone has 'learnt' effect over affect and likes to auto correct it. I often don't notice this.
However, seeing as you are resorting to such means of 'argument' you must realise that what most are saying in this thread is correct. In other words a last ditch effort to make yourself look right or superior.
Wtf!!!!!!!
WOW!!! you must think Steve Jobs runs every dept at apple single handedly.
That is not how it works, He is an overseer. He has people in place to run these dept. because if he was involved in every little detail of the company he would explode.
In fact, he is more involved than most CEO's most of them are liasons between the company and the share holders. But nevertheless, he is not that involved.
in the press conference last week he referenced getting like 4-5000 emails a day. It has to be annoying to see an elitist like you that thinks he cares that you had a little glitch in his OS today.
Report this stuff to the web site or call apple and escalate it to a manager. But leave the CEO out of it.
I'm sure SJ is sitting at his computer right now recoding iOS so you dont have to be bothered by this again.

Seems it's you who doesn't know how companies like this work. Since I work for a company like this, let me tell you how it's going to play out.
Whomever reads Jobs' emails from persons such as yourself is going to do one of two things: 1. Delete it or 2. Forward it to a support engineer.
If it's forwarded to a support engineer that person will look and see if anybody else has reported it. They may also try to reproduce it. Since the details available (at least in this post) are sparse said reproduction will likely fail. Without sufficient informartion for a repro there isn't much to hand over to Dev and QE. Without a repro it becomes a validation issue meaning you check the next release for the problem just in case. Since the steps provided are sparse and since you may be the only person experiencing the issue it's not likely that QE will ever catch wind of it.
Next time you want to try your hand at amateur quality engineering you should become more familiar with software development processes.
Looks to me as a memory buffer problem. I am not sure I would even consider this a bug since you are the only person experiencing this issue. If more people report it....then apple can address it.
You don't know how these things work! I may be the only person to have experienced this or reported it, but this is major and we need a press release from Apple right now. And I must be recognized for my efforts! RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE
Wow, this thread deteriorated quickly with the OP taking shots of his own.
I cannot replicate this. Can you? If it was a one time thing, I don't see this as a "bug" per se with the phone or OS. Probably some app you downloaded.

Dude, you appear to be a bit of an ass. I'm all for correcting affect/effect usage as well as infer/imply and lose/loose but there is a time and place for that.
Hey pal, lose the attitude. We don't need anymore members here with Napoleon complexes. For one, Scott Forstall and Steve Jobs don't spend their days perusing MacRumors forums. I think you're the one who doesn't understand how a "professional" company works. See, at the large, major, regarded as professional aerospace corporation I work for, when a customer of ours has an issue with one of our products, it gets submitted through either our sales staff who are in contact with the customer or to our quality department. I'm pretty sure the CEO and/or president of our company doesn't have a folder in his Outlook account for incoming customer complaints. I'm also pretty sure that while the executives of some companies are accessible, they bug/problem reporting doesn't start at the top. This was the perfect place to post if you wanted to give everyonf here a heads up, but probably the worst if you wanted to let Apple know.
Two, this isn't a HUGE bug. It's a minor bug that most people may not even ever enounter. A bug, yes. A huge bug, no.
I can replicate this, well, not on demand...but it DID happen to me, once. I restarted my phone and it was fine. Hasn't hapepned since, no matter how many apps I'm running, so I'm not sure it's a memory issue. I'm also 99% certain I wasn't in the App Store and hit the home button when I noticed it.
No, my phone did it once too. There was always an app image missing, and when you scrolled to another page, another one would be missing (but if you scrolled back to the other page, the previous one that was missing would now be there).
It's a small bug that didn't really affect anything as far as I could tell. I haven't experienced it again since...

I thought that too, but the icon for the YouTube app on the iPhone 4 may be different? I don't know as I only own a 3G at the moment.
I guess I'll know in 8 days

Its not different. I have an iPhone 4.
It's the icon you get for making a shortcut to the Safari page for youtube.com
It's not an app icon, but a webpage shortcut.
That's the icon that's created when you make a homescreen shortcut to the mobile YouTube site. I think it's m.youtube.com.
Oops. Beaten to the punch while I verified it.
Thanks for clearing that up, but that seems quite pointless. Wonder where the Youtube app is hiding then.
