I agree; the Jobs distortion field is wearing off. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance to get past (this must have been better before because I liked it before), and this dawning recognition is getting projected onto Apple.

But the distortion field that before exist a magical distortion field is still strong...

Similar to: Jobs make everything at apple, apple say it invented first (about everything), people that buy apple is a lunatic fanboy, bla, bla...

You have a more stable software or not. You can show numbers, or at worst, anecdotal evidence. But blaming in a distortion field?
