If that does not prove that Apple has been very hasty with this update overall, I don't know what does. The bar for quality control has been set kinda low.


>I don't know what does

Something that's not a rare issue affecting some handfuls of users of just a particular model?

Some of the classic releases that are esteemed as "Apple's most well managed and stable", like Snow Leopard, had worse issues than this.


Did you read the post?


Yes I did, and its comments, prior commenting here. I'm aware that some users managed to upgrade successfully but still that does not change what I believe about this rollout.


This seems a bit more active https://freemyipod.org/


another country to keep euro artificially low for german exports to thrive (though they don't so much lately)


And who benefits from an undervalued currency? Certainly not the German populace.


I don't know why this comment got downvoted, what it says is true. Having experienced it as a greek first hand.


Because it is wrong. Lev is pegged since 1999.

And if you (or the first comment author) had read the article, then you would immediately have identified the problem with the comment.


Same perception here, none of what is said by GP should be downvoted. Almost 25 years after its implementation, it's high time the overall impact of the Euro was assessed objectively.


But GP didn’t say that, he said it’ll be bad for Bulgaria and he’s objectively wrong, due to all the reasons outlined by others.


You simply do not know if he is objectively wrong. On the basis of 25 years of Euro, what we have observed is that in the eurozone, capital follows productivity, and countries tend to specialise in line with what their factor endowment and national inclination will let them. The Euro is usually "sold" as a miracle solution when it has only really been successful for countries that had a very export oriented string industrial sector, and even then, with mixed results (see Italy). Bulgaria can hope for capital inflows and increase in productivity but should also bear in mind that these factors are highly independent on economies of scale and overall sheer size of of the existing industrial base. Capital outflows and alignment with standard european prices may well be in order. This taking the average population age may be a killer. We'll see.


Again, he’s arguing that Euro will be bad for Bulgaria, not that the Euro is bad.

This is objectively wrong, since Bulgaria currently had 0 control over its currency, where joining the eurozone, they’ll have a vote at the table


I think you may be forgetting the big picture, which is to never have Europe spawning a World War again. In that regard, the fears (rational and irrational) of those with tendencies for isolationism are simply not relevant.


what are those odds looking like in the mid future? How many european governments are currently considered on the "extreme" spectrum? And what makes you think the Euro implemented in 2002 is the reason for the non-reoccurence of a war ended in 1945?

Studying the root causes of the two world war would certainly enlighten


It is just something we, the children of those who fought, promised to our grand parents on their deathbed. Such things matters.


I'm sad to read this, as my father too is not in the best possible situation currently, cause of cancer. Wish you feel better soon and keep fond memories of him.


Really wish that this sets a trend like iOS 7 did and move forward from this bland flat design that exists everywhere


Really wondering about the same, since VAT is applied to everything too, not only imported products and services.


I haven't even heard Ετησίαι and I come from a town that has often Μελτέμια in August


It's obvious that you're somehow personally involved in this situation, since you have filled this thread with multiple comments which range from dismissive to plain rude. And the whole thread reeks of comments who just try to frame company's CEO as irrational, which contribute next to nothing to understanding the two companies' dispute, while raising some disbelief for their motive in the first place.


In what kind of city do graffiti happen on cars and households? mostly it's on public property


Certainly in the cities mentioned in the Article, e.g. Berlin and Hamburg.
