Via Google Voice/Hangouts the answering/calling of a phone through a Mac or other PC has been around before Apple's introduction of it. Also, things like SMS MightyText for Android were also things I've enjoyed on my Android/Mac combo well before Apple made it available within the OS:
Granted, I did use an iChat/AIM combo setup to text phones (and receive texts) via my Mac in the past, but it was a cumbersome utilization and didn't work with all carriers.
>Maybe Apple is moving too fast, that is a matter of opinion, but they are certainly moving forward fast.
Bugs that hinder workflow moves me backwards. And, these Mac OS and iOS bugs aren't just a matter of opinion. I don't think it's time to slam all that is Apple, but the company is overdue for some customer backlash and constructive criticism, in my opinion.
Then again, maybe this is all just bad karma from Apple completely ignoring the faulty early 2011 MacBook Pro GPU/logic board failures and not issuing a recall and replacement program as they should.
I haven't had any recent problems with iOS or OSX but I don't always agree with Apple's very opinionated design decision. I can understand why they do it but it sometimes rubs me the wrong way. The other shoe that hasn't dropped yet is security which is abysmal on Android but most users haven't noticed yet. Windows Phone could make huge inroads that way.
