The last time I reported a bug of any sort to anyone, I reported quite
a serious iOS security hole via Radar.
The Apple engineer who responded quite angrily closed my bug as "works
as expected". He didn't just close the bug - he expressed a great
deal of anger for having reported the exploit at all.
I'm not real clear what his reasoning was.
It wasn't just because of this one engineer that I stopped reporting
bugs, rather that was the end of a long series of failures of vendors
to fix bugs reported not just by myself but by others.
If my only problem was the software that ran on my own computer, I
could either select quality software, or use Free Software so I could
fix the bugs myself. This yields no joy, because so many websites are
buggy.
I tell you, I have come to regard my Retina Display MacBook Pro as an
albatross around my neck. I would like nothing more than to hurl it
off a bridge into the Willamette River.
