I’ve heard it expressed on podcasts, most vocally by MacStories’ Federico Viticci, and seen similar complaints on Twitter. With a rampaging randomness that keeps increasing with each new generation of operating systems and “improvements”, Apple seems to be connecting it’s excellent hardware with a cloud system that can best be described as fog bound.Īpple Notes is my focus here, because it’s the latest, most egregious example of how Apple just can’t get things right on its backend, creating an unusable situation for those who want to use Apple’s software. Set aside the hardware though, because I also use Apple’s software and services to connect these devices and share data. Apple’s hardware is often stunning and high powered, making it easy for me to justify the high prices. I have used them and continue to use them because I like them. MacBooks, iMacs, iPhones, iPads, Apple Watches, etc. Those tools of choice are Apple products. Forget that when it applies to the tools and technology I use to do my job as a theatre director and writer. A saying that I h appen to agree with when creating magic for the stage. “Random is always righter” a scenic designer colleague of mine was fond of saying.
