I agree with Anthony.
Apple has many links on their websites and others like newsletters
inviting us to send feedback to them, so are we, the ones who take
their invitation, kind of different from those who use other
channels to send them some feedback (ideas, improvements, bugs
report, etc)?.
I can guess about legal "considerations" about what would happen if
Apple like one of my ideas and use them, so I have asked them
through the feedback option about having the Calendar option on
iPhoto, now iPhoto have calendars, should I have to be "paid" by
Apple for this???!!!!, I guess not, shouldn't have to suggest to
Apple on this because of that, I guess not, shouldn't Apple put
calendars on iPhoto because someone asked for it, I guess not,
maybe they can probe that they have the idea before I sent the
request, but that is not the point.
And if that kid is smart enough to suggest Apple some
"revolutionary" ideas maybe Apple should talk with her.
So do we all agree to a $10 hike in prices? Because Apple will need
to deal with every single unsolicited idea that comes through the
system in a kind, caring manner. And can you estimate how many emails
they get every day to email@hidden? And how many letters?
And to deal with every single one in the manner you describe will
cost a fortune.
Of course, this is a fairy tale - Apple would be STUPID to give each
and every email that sort of consideration
That kid should received the same Thanks for contacting us note
that I received from the feedback page, and I guess she would be
happy, and them two things could happen, the ideas be just plain
ideas like the calendars on iPhoto, or great ideas and in that
case, if necessary Apple will love to have that kind of input and
talk with whoever it should.
I hope the meeting after this improve the way you ask for feedback
and received response from the Asker.
I believe she received the standard "thanks for contacting us but we
don't accept unsolicited suggestions" letter which everyone I know
(who has sent a letter) has received. Which is exactly what was
reported by AppleInsider.
I guess it's time to move on. Some people need a dose of reality.
Crying foul at boilerplate is simply stupid. The difference here is
the PR coup and the desire to get attention coupled with the
"entitlement syndrome".
