I would rather that Apple send my Feedbacks to a black hole than send me on wild goose chases verifying unfixed bugs.

In some other Feedbacks, Apple has said things like this:

"We have deployed the fix. Please verify this issue with…”

"As a result of your feedback, there are changes in the latest update… that have resolved this issue."

It’s suspicious that nothing like that was in the latest Feedback, even after I directly asked them twice whether they fixed it.

@grischard I’m not going to lie. What the hell would I do that???
@grischard No? Why in the world would my account be suspended?

This is FB12088655 if any Apple engineers want to give me a real answer. ;-)

“It’s an incredibly deft non-answer that would remain true if Cook steps down as CEO in two weeks”

I have to disagree. Cook’s response would be EXCEEDINGLY MISLEADING if that happened.

Giving a blatantly false impression is not much different from lying.

"I love what I do deeply” so much that I’m quitting what I do in two weeks? No fucking way. It would be essentially Bill Clinton level lying.

Why would Cook even give an interview if he didn’t want to address this?

OMG Apple THREE TIMES refused to tell me whether they actually fixed the bug that they’re asking me to “verify” (the first time being the initial verify request)
