Well, it must have missed something inside my Mothership-Brotherhood-Perfecto machine. I re-installed twice. First I got the "blue screen of death" equivalent - the spinning beach ball. Reformatted my drive completely and re-installed. Start-up time, getting close to it's brother from the floating colourful Windows. Slooooowwww…. Maybe it was my hard drive. I did diagnostic, worked perfectly.
As I was typing this email, my Mail program crashed twice. Third time in two days. Ridiculous. A search from the Google land gave me a full page of similar crashing problem. Yikes.
In this "roaring", my calendar now looked the same and worked the same as the Android Tablet trumping device. Swiping is good when there was no keyboard and only touch screen. I had a keyboard. "What gives with the same look and feel?" A rush to market? Cross-platform training? Or just a simple case of "this is what you need to do now because I KNOW WHAT YOU NEED" mentality. Ummm…
Yes, the Mail program looked exactly like the Android Tablet trumping device as well. That was the default view. My brain was confused what device I was using when the program first appeared on my screen. I tried to reach over to swipe. My fingers though were glued to the keyboard. My brain was scrambled. Maybe the need of a split-personality person to work this "roaring" lion now. I had to make adjustments (or rather "Preferences...") so the Mail program appeared "normal" to me.
What's with the Mi$$ion C0ntR0L and the L@unch p@D? Sooo confusing. I had to revert back to the "Snow cap" version to make it more "me" friendly. No more Mi$$ion C0ntR0L. Back in w/ the "----"board. Apparently there was a list of ten annoying things that people really hate and posted instructions on how to "revert": http://gigaom.com/apple/7-lion-annoyances-and-how-to-fix-them/
The login screen. When the wrong password was entered, the entire field should be cleared out. All I got was a dot dot dot of the wrong password. What's with that?
The ever high drama {my}Cloud. I just tested the "Where is my device" service using my 10" tablet and the version 4 mobile device. No, no 4$ yet. {my}Cloud found my tablet no problem. My phone, not on a data plan connection at the moment, was not able to be located. Yes, I had the option turned on on my phone. Suspected another "good thinking" from the designer of the 5th generation of the mobile operating system known as {my}OS Wu. "Wu" in Chinese means "5"
Experience of all these bugs… escalating. Experience of a just "turn on" and use with NO problem… decelerating. Honestly, decelerating to the point of unacceptable.
Get an "G"-phone? More security risk than I would want. Basically getting a miniaturized floating windows risky deal. Agh…. Writing my own thing? Maybe!!! Consumerization of mobile devices in work place, beware.
