Stupid People Need the Most Attention
Okay, this Tiger UI review by Andrew Orlowski required something be said. I won’t go into the boolean operators issue that has already been resolved by Charles Arthur and others. My complaint is with glib remarks like:
Saving an MP3 that you’ve loaded from a web page and played in Safari now requires an additional $29.99 payment for Quick Time Pro.
I’ll tell you what, Andrew. Send me $19.99 and I’ll unlock File > Save As for you. Better yet, send me a one-time payment of $9.99, and I’ll unlock Cmd-S.
Whoa! It’s those kind of people that phone the helpdesk and say “it’s broken, can you fix it?”
