In agreement, with emphasis added.
I especially think version 6.0 is mature enough that I should be able to choose my own default email client and web browser.
And on iCloud restores, this definitely needs fixing. My wife had just a 4GB backup and it took her 5 frustrating attempts to complete a restore.

Yet another reason to dislike these silly ads. They are a lie!
HOW SIRI INTERPRETS IT WHEN I SAY “REMIND ME TO PUT THE GAZPACHO ON ICE IN AN HOUR”:
- Put the spot show on ice
- Put the spots on Icenhour
- Put tickets botulinum
Yes, I know. Shocking, an advertisement that isn’t precise truth. But come on, in a world with action movie smartphone ads that don’t even show the actual product (like this one), Apple is supposed to keep it real.
If this happens I will laugh. And I will blame Ballmer for his “Windows Windows Windows” blinders, and the Board for standing behind him. It will be Microsoft’s punishment for not having the balls to do something new. Windows 8 RT (Windows on ARM) should be called Metro. Calling it ‘Windows’ is a mistake. (Same for Windows Phone 7)
Apple will provide wireless service directly to its iPad and iPhone customers. First, Apple will sell data packages bundled with iPads. Then it will sell data and international roaming plans to iPhone customers through the iTunes Store. And in time — sooner than many think — Apple will strike wholesale deals with several mobile operators so that Apple can provide wireless service directly to its customers, as Apple Mobile.
An interesting theory. I’m all for it. How nice would it be to be able to switch carriers and packages from the App Store? To have all the prices in one place, not have to browse several different websites to compare prices. And to not have to mess with SIM cards. Of course, carrier unlock would be a requirement. So how Apple will pull that off in the US I have no idea.
For all its valuation, the social network is just another ad-supported site. Without an earth-changing idea, it will collapse and take down the Web.
A worthwhile read, though too hyperbolic in my view. But I do think there’s something to the core argument: that without a big idea on the scale of AdWords, Facebook will not meet expectations in its current line of business.
People and fund managers that sold AAPL over the last 2 weeks to buy FB, you got what you deserved.
