Finder is trash i have just switched to using spotlight as file management, and it seems apple is going towards that with the siri integration. I know there are some third party finder replacements maybe try one of them? And i haven't had any connection probs since the Mavericks point release that replaced i think discoveryd with the legacy system.

I got this problem where i have a 5ghz AC network and a 2.4ghz N extender broadcasting the same SSID and it sometimes connects to the weak AC connection instead of prioritizing the stronger N one but I think that is probably more a problem with the lease time on my network

It's possible to do good technical analysis. You read your tea leaves or whatever, then do rigorous statistical analysis to determine whether it's actually predictive. Dismissing verifiable technical analysis is just as silly as looking for "head and shoulders" in price charts or whatever nonsense.

That said I don't think anyone in this thread has done such analysis so y'all suck.

The only slick marketing going on is the one that convinced me to buy an Android as my first smartphone and endure constant frustration instead of buying the objectively superior iPhone.

I wish I only spent 10 hours trying to get an s5 out of a reboot loop. And yay now I have Samsungs lovely KIES software infecting my laptop, despite using a cleanser to uninstall it and it still managed to interfere with the low level software I needed to use. Which still didn't work.

pull the battery to hard reset and if it is still rebooting after that then connect to PC and do a factory wipe/reinstall

I've been in the habit of watching weirdos destroy phones on youtube lately. The latest iPhones take 30 minutes to over an hour of submersion to show damage or die, depending on depth, as opposed to the less than 10 minutes of previous versions.

It's not magic, it's because the newer 6S version uses more conformal coating to protecting the electronics from water.

Has offering products in more colours and sizes actually helped?

I remember when it was announced tech blogs made it seem like the sky was falling because it went against one of Job's core philosophies or something.

e: the last update to itunes (?) made it so that I can't see any books that I didn't buy in the app, let alone put them on my phone. I've just been emailing them to myself.

So iphone is obviously superior because of an incredibly specific experience you had one time with one phone at some point.

Does this mean all homeless people are rude because one of the guys involved in the sewer gangbang that caused your mother to poo poo out a severely retarded baby was rude?
