So Why Did You Stand In Line?

All this griping about the $200 price slash on the IPhone...
Price cuts happen all the time. You buy a new car in April and a couple months later the price is slashed $5000 to make room for the new fall models. You have a choice...buy now-drive now or wait for a lower price.
All of us who stood in line on June 29 knew that Apple could come out with an updated newer, cooler IPhone before the holidays or right after the first of the year...but we stood in line (5 hours for me) to be the first for the IPhone. We also speculated on a lower holiday price...but we stood in line anyway.
We stood in line...we drove hundred of miles (I read the posts on this forum)...we wanted to be the first. Was it convenience? Price? Nope...we wanted the coolest most craved piece of technology since Mac I....we wanted the IPhone. And we wanted it NOW!!!
Remember the same thing happened with the IPod...high opening price than a price drop for the holidays...the video version and then the really nicely priced IPod shuffle. Folks, that's business.
I have no regrets. First, my former phone was falling a part so I wouldn't, couldn't wait until the holidays. Next, I love new gadgets and IPhone IS THE GADGET of 2007. Next, the Apple Store made it fun to wait and talking with other Apple enthusiasts made the time go fast. The comments of the folks walking by made me feel proud to be a core Apple person.
And...now that I figured it out...I really enjoy my phone. People still comment on it and want to check it out. And I can easily get the information I need on it. The screen is so much easier to read than any cell phone I've had...and the real web interface is excellent! All and all, I'm happy to have bought it at the $600 price. I'm having great reception with our local ATT and even on Edge...so I'm very happy. Best mobile phone/smartphone I've ever had.
I won't complain to Apple or write a surly note to Steve. A love letter perhaps. I thank heavens that Apple is an exciting company, a company that changes technology not just follows. I'm proud when I can do something on my phone or computer that those Windoze guys cannot.
I'm a loyal Apple customer. I love my Iphone. And I was expecting a holiday season price blip or new version...so I'm satisfied. That "extra" $200 was the price I paid to get an IPhone first, for all the "way cool" comments. Heck, if you didn't get that $200 "thrill" factor for the last couple of months, sorry, you had your chance.

I bought mine and my wife's at an Apple store in Santa Monica, CA five days after they came out. Walked in a bought them. No big deal. They had stacks of them.
I feel so screwed today. Not even an ounce of appreciation from the King of Apple. I was part of the hype machine. Bought a phone sight un seen and beta tested it. I mean what little updates I got were for BUGS! And bug there were/are. All well documented. (how about Yahoo mail not being sent.....)
Anyway, all I get is a stiff arm and and arrogant statement. This is unprecedented. A 33% drop in price in 2 months is mean spirited and a really bad example for the rest of the industry. Apple has always been the leader and groundbreaker with many of their products. Now they've set a new low for every other company to point to. Every company.
For anyone who feels the need to attack my post and tell me to get a grip. I asked them to get a grip on my $400 bucks and give it back to me. I'm not a fool and would never buy a new car. I know about the price depreciation timing on a new car. So now I know about Apple. Trust is gone. Sign of the times.
Unfortunately I see this as a horrible shape of things to come. The $400 I lost is A LOT of money. Shame on them.

Why did you get rid of the track option in ALL Revel apps?

I am a subscribed Revel user that was once happy with what Revel offered but NOT anymore. I organize my photos inside albums by events. Why? Because that is the ONLY organization available from Revel without creating thousands of albums. So why did you COMPLETELY get rid of viewing albums by track? I can't see my tracks, or events, in albums on iOS or on the Mac (because of the new update) and definitely not on the web. What's up? When will this be coming back? Every update that has come on Revel has been a HUGE disappoint, lets not even mention the failing to update fiasco. I am ready to switch applications and void ALL of the work I have done putting ALL my photos into Revel. Help me out here please. Somebody please get back to me and let me know what to expect or change or if I do need to be looking somewhere else for better more reliable photo storage.

What I am actually refering to is the "track" view inside of the albums. Track view exists in the "collection" option or the file drawer option on all Apple apps, iPad, iPhone, and the Mac, but the track option that once existed when looking at individual albums is no longer there on ANY device.

Why did you remove The option to disable Java scripts?

Everyone knows malware always comes through java scripts. So why did you remove the option to turn it off ? Why the false saftey excuse? (duckspeak) This makes no sense. Alot of people also get errors and have slower speed with some pages so they disable it. I understand there is plugins available to block scripts but they never work 100%. It just really really seems strange that a browser that was built on the idea of safety, security and trust has now suddenly removed a item that makes users less safe, Under the guise of safety. (doublespeak)
I will no longer use Firefox ever again unless you put this option back.

Also note that the option is available in...
'''<h1>about:config</h1>'''
# In the address bar, type "about:config" (with no quotes), and press Enter.
# Click "I'll be careful, I promise"
# In the search bar, search for "javascript.enabled" (with no quotes).
# Right click the result named "javascript.enabled" and click "Toggle". JavaScript is now disabled.
To Re-enable JavaScript, repeat these steps.
'''<h1>Add-ons</h1>'''
You can alternatively install an add-on that lets you disable JavaScript, such as
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/noscript/ No-Script] (to disable JavaScript on a per page basis, as required)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/quickjava/ QuickJava] (to easily disable and enable JavaScript, automatic loading of images, and other content)
*[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/settingsanity/ SettingSanity] (adds back JavaScript options, including Advanced JavaScript Settings, as well as options for loading images and showing the Tab Bar)
Im also not sure how you are a computer expert and dont even know the difference between Java and Javascript. Its pathetic that you dont know that Java is the most insecure thing, not Javascript, get your facts straight before bashing a correct answer and "Java Scripts" were not removed, but moved.

Why did you go into IT?

Why did you go into IT?
The reasons I went into IT are as follows:
1. I already knew programming before going to College, and thought it would be easy learning computers in College!
2. I liked programing and working with computer applications.
3. I wanted to travel, working all over the world, and thought that I would be able to get a job in many different countries in IT.

I don't know fortunately or Unfortunately, How I found my self in IT!
Since Childhood I was complete sports person. I represent U-15, U-17,U21 for Rajasthan. I splurged my whole teenage all in Cricket. In My education I had one year Gap only because of we had to visit Sri lanka for couple of matches against Gale Sports Club (Formerly known as President Academy).We were lost with huge margin. I was scattered and complete disappointed, however right after I got selected in National Squad (only for training camp).But still meanwhile I managed myself to get admission into Engineering (Yes on payment seat ). I was below average student in subjects of science but at the same time I was crazy about Maths (Only because I used-to to count Runs and Required Rate all the time ).
So the year from "99 to "03 was the key for my career (with aspect of sports and education wise both).In First Year of Engineering I through without any Compartment. But In Second Year I got stuck in 2 Subjects But I was least bother about this as my sports career had not been affected. Yes Due to sports my Education career had always been penetrating.Guys believe me in my four year of Engineering life I only wrote one Program from myself which was Swapping the values of A and B without using third variable, that was in C++
However,Finally by hook or crook I managed my self in 03 in Final Year(Yes Final Semester too, No compartment Had Been carry forward ) In my through Life, I only took myself away from Cricket in Final Semester because now I wanted to Through in my Education. Only because my instincts and somebody says from inside I spend 3 and half year with cricket and Education so I must through when my Ship was almost on the shore.
Finally I got a chance to work in company where SAP ECC was about to Implement. I donu2019t know from where I got inspiration and courage to work rather than sport but yes I preferred to work there. Since now Iu2019m in SAP and I left a Cricket way back. But yes still I used-to manage to play over the week-ends, only when time allows.
And now Iu2019m the only SAP person in my project that has handling FI-CO and ABAP stuff, yes sometimes Basis too
Cheers,
Amit.

Why did you have to change the layout of Firefox?

I would like to know why you have gone and changed the layout of Firefox?
I am still on Fx 3.6.18 because quite frankly 5.0.1 looks horrible.
Why did you have to change everything and move things around. Why couldn't you have given us the same layout as 3.6.18 but with these new upgrades.
I will never download Fx5. 3.6 was perfect.
Also how can I contact Fx without upgrading?

Sorry the old Feedback page - Hendrix - used with older versions of Firefox was disabled near the end of 2010.
In Firefox 4+ versions there's a Help > Submit Feedback... menu item which leads here: http://input.mozilla.com/en-US/feedback <br />
But you can't submit feedback there with an older version of Firefox, currently you need Firefox 5.0 or higher.
The decision to change the GUI was made by Mozilla collectively, not by a small group of developers or by one person. If you put your efforts toward customizing Firefox to suit your tastes, it would be a lot more productive than trying to find out who to blame and where to complain about the changes made to Firefox. Geez dude, it ain't the end of the world. It's only a web browser, which can be easily modified to make it look like you thing it should look.

Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
* [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
# The ''Content-Type'' response header.
# The ''meta'' tag in the page source.

Why did you change the event calendar?

I updated my phone and now I can only have one alert on my calendar for an event. I was putting in an event and having an alert one day before and then one hour before. Why did you change it?

Just FYI, "we" didn't change anything. You're not communicating with Apple when you post here, and you will not get a response from them. We're all just fellow users.
Regards.

Apple why did you take the Sites folder with my website in it? Nobody helps!

Since upgrading to Mavericks I lost my local website folder that used to be in the Sites folder!
Error: Can't connect, check your info! Oh Apple why did you take it? "H E L P P L E A S E!"

Thank you Barney-15E
I have no clue why this is or why I am getting this error in Mavericks. All I have is a local website folder in the Sites folder using Dreamweaver CS4 to update my files, working perfect on my other drive running 10.6.8 . Why I cant update and get the error above is the reason I am posting here. (and several other spots)
You said:
"First off, FTP is disabled in Mavericks, which is why you likely cannot FTP into your local Mac--why are you ftp'ing to the Mac you are working on?"
You said:
"Your Sites folder is in your Home folder. However, if you created it somewhere else, you'll have to figure that out."
When I say my Sites folder is not in my Home folder you can bank on it. No I never changed any folders in there.

Why did you kidnap me away from opening my home page and force me to your "introductory" pages that I did not want to see?

When I opened my Firefox browser this morning, I was "kidnapped' and taken away from my home page and forced to deal with your introductory pages about the "new Firefox." Why did you do this? I already have a mother, so I don't need another one. If it happens again I'll mostly change away from Firefox.

Why did you take away the feature that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

Why did you remove the "small icons" button from settings?

I need this function.

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded?

Why did you change the way a current program is recorded? Now I can only record a show from the time I press record not from the beginning. So if I turn on the TV and a show has already started, I can no longer record it from the beginning as I did in the past. As much money as I pay shouldn't I have the option to choose?
