I'm beginning to develop a theory that this kind of Apple-fandom is somewhere between being an audiophile and a mentally contagious form of OCD.
I've had complete strangers, totally normal people (picture the exact opposite of a stereotypical techie), raving to me in a shop about how great their Kindle is because they saw me play with the demo device. That's a home run in anyone's language.
But Aaron, who seems to have trained himself to appreciate the finer details, has this joyous experience ruined for him in much the same way a wine snob can no longer enjoy an even passable glass of wine.
I guess the missing factor is how much effort is expended on these nicities versus the return on that investment.
If the text below a main icon is cut off, is that a sign of how shoddily the entire thing is put together, or is it simply not important, compared with the many benefits the device gives you?
Its just annoying, even insulting, that something that could have been fixed, permanently, for everybody, was let out the door with that stain on it. Unlike wine, software CAN be (nearly) perfect for everybody, every time.
