FYI, calling people "sheep" is the easiest way to cause everyone to ignore what you're saying.

Not really, a grammar error will do just fine. The laser-like focus on the misplaced comma will incite a half dozen threads about the Oxford Manual of Style, totally obscuring any point the thread had to make.

Or, you could, for example, keep the perfectly functional operating system you had when you bought the machine. I know, you miss out on the latest shiny and you're vulnerable to some edge case security problem. But it still beeps and whistles like before.

Apple SHOULD do a bit more testing on their upgrades and you'd think because they only have a couple of models of each phone you could manage that, but I guess it's harder than it looks.

Oh get a life, dude. Hundreds of thousands of people without problems and a whole bunch with. What I said is really True Gospel, no matter what the fanbois whine about. Apple has been pretty bad about software / firmware upgrades for years. 10.0.0 - now exactly how useful was that, remember? 10.6.0 (which was supposed to fix things - glitches galore. 10.7.0 - a mess, 10.8 - still pretty iffy for a lot of people.

Hey, I use OS X (and iOS) daily - I like it. I'm just happy to let the bleeding edge get all white and pasty and act as beta testers. Of course, this isn't exactly restricted to Apple - Google, Microsoft, Oracle (well, they never actually get it together), HP (um, ditto) and everybody else has issues.

Just don't get all of your panties twisted about. It's a tool. Not an altar.
