Come now - this would mean that companies never make stupid mistakes. They do. Often.

- smt88 11y agoYes, they do, but mistakes are often bad decisions, not simple forgetfulness. Dozens of people working on a deal over the course of many months don't "forget" a core feature of the way their most important product works. They might make a bad decision, but they don't all suddenly come down with amnesia about how their own devices work.
- lostlogin 11y agoThey really do. The dishwasher draw jams every. Damn. Time. The coffee machine I'm currently using should be binned, as every feature is terrible. Spotify navigation on iOS consists of me hitting back, back, back, back back, back, back, back each time I open it. The fridge has coloured leds inside that look like a 90s Night club and are on when the fridge is closed. This is from the last 10 minutes. Companies basically suck at making things good.
- reustle 11y agoThey definitely do but for every iOS user to simultaneously start downloading the same U2 album, they must have added tons of extra redundancy in place for the servers not to go down. That would have been a huge unexpected amount of requests for a single album if they had actually "forgotten" about it.
- feld 11y agoHow big is an MP3 album? 20MB? Maybe 30MB? That's nothing. Their global CDN can handle that without sweating.
