Just posted this on Spymac -



I just got an email from Apple regarding a survey for iPod/Photography owners.



Aside from the interesting number of questions regarding mobile phone cameras, there wasn't much to report - other than this odd question:

(If anyone is doubting the veracity of this, the link to the survey is:

Now, naturally, my "id" # is taken - so pick one of the digits and replace it with another number... then go through it (make sure you select that none of your family or you do PR / advertising / etc) - and look for yourselves...)



Thoughts?

    I know - but the question is, "Which of the following APPLE apps..." - Apple generally doesn't make mistakes like that, and if any, I'd figure other apps would be in there too, if it was a "Apple apps + 3rd Pty apps" question...



    Correct me if I'm wrong?



    Anyway, just thought it was interesting and worth noting.

    The could be double-check questions, so ensuure the validity of the answers. If either of these boxes have been checked, then clearly the respondant doesn't know what the heck they are talking about because they are non-existent apps.

    Pluto = Disney/Pixar = Pluto (the Dog)?

    I think that this is the most valid answer to this.



    Apple is so secretive that perhaps one but certainly not two different apps would be secreted in an online survey.



    Nope, I think that they are there to cull out the folks who don't really use/are aware of all of the apps, or, the ones that click all of the fields.



    Interesting but I am afraid that this is just a clever way of getting better results.
