Those pesky company lines. Apple's using such great materials for its lines these days, pretty much a V-8 minimum is required for towing. I remember 5-10 years ago, just about anyone could tow the Apple company line. No longer. I wouldn't feel confident without an F-250, or maybe a Dodge Ram.
software distribution is still part of their job. instead of saying "everyone makes mistakes" he should own up to them
He was asked the cause of the issue, and he fucking stated what that was. What the hell is it you want, exactly? How is he passing blame? I'm pretty damn sure he knows that Apple is also responsible for the distribution. Yet people are pretending as he's blaming another company. Jesus Christ.
Yes, I also wish they’d slow down a bit with new releases (having said that I do think iOS for iPad is badly in need of multi-user support and side-by-side multitasking apps).
My hope is that the full UI redesign of both iOS and OS X, and development of the new programming language were all big distractions for Apple. Now those are complete hopefully things will settle down. Let’s also not forget the major distraction of the new campus. Once that is finished and they are settled in, I hope that we will see further improvements in the quality of Apple’s output.
So, basically, someone at Apple pushed the wrong files to the live servers... And all these while I thought Apple engineers just forgot to check their code.
Ah, I get it! You know, when you are doing “advanced things", it's totally ok to screw up. Seriously... what an idiot.
What are you even trying to say?
I thought it was clear. He is saying that “doing advanced things” (Joswiak quote) is not a valid excuse for fucking up. Apple fucked up the 8.0.1 update. It doesn't matter how they fucked it up - they still fucked it up when they shouldn’t have. Apple should have robust checks in place that prevent these sorts of things from happening.

Oh good. Give them a year or two to settle in to their new digs, and we've only got, what...a four year wait for stable software.

I like it.
It makes him sound very worldly.
He lives everywhere.
Well, except for that insignificant portion below the equator...oh, wait...
a continent north of the equator - just trying to be parallelistic.
Ok so one of three ... got it.
Actually that could even be a new definition of parallelistic ... all three are on the same parallel! (Give or take ...
Thank you both for parsing the lexiprose and cons...

Remove foot from mouth.
Let it rest.
Die
To clarify, are you asking Joswiak to die? No really, elaborate.
What a filthy coward you are.

No, no, you misunderstood. He just had a revelation and final clarity on what he has to do. He wasn't talking about Joswiak.
I knew it sounded familiar. I don't like his new haircut.
He needs to go see whoever Federighi's seeing.
So it sounds like the delta OTA update was missing a binary or two. A corrupted zip file would be rejected by the phone.
Apple's software quality is definitely in decline though.

Knowing your English is important in any civilized discourse but knowing your geography is importanter.
You are quite correct - I should have said "parallelogrammatical"...
If you magnify the image, despite the low resolution, you can see that he seems to be wearing the Apple Watch.
And wisely hidden behind a shirt sleeve.
It's not "towed" is it? It's "Toed" the company line.
Nope.
It’s 'toed' — lower-case.
How dare you knoe English?!? ;-)
Dude, if he speaks gooder English then he has a responsibility to make things righter.
Hey, some people don't need no education.

So, your claiming to know Englisher than me???
To right he is.

Apart from the East. That's where he looks.
Greg "Joz" Joswiak mostly towed the company line.

I’ll put the kettle on.
