Which is why I said excuses being made up and down the thread. I didn't mean to imply that you were excusing it, but many people were saying that Apple was being more reasonable that the developer which is why I spoke out in defense of the developer.
I don't buy your explanation. I'd like to, but all over this thread there are highly upvoted comments that explain that this guy was out of lining by expecting anything at all, even though Apple continually led him on. They could have sent two teeny-tiny bytes 'N' 'o' and been done. But instead they were dicks.
I don't really see why my reply was unfair. If you weren't making excuses for apple, fine, but there were dozens of posters on this topic that are/were.
- hugh3 16y agoWhat we have is a situation where both parties behaved imperfectly. Since it was the outside guy who made the whiny woe-is-me-I'm-a-victim blog post about it, it's everybody's instinct to point out what he did to deserve it. On the other hand if the Apple engineer were the one writing the blog post everybody would jump on what he did that was wrong.

- hugh3 16y agoIt's normal. I'm not sure why you're getting so worked up about it. Dare I suggest you might be upset at an analogous situation in your own life?
- drivebyacct 16y agoYou're welcome to suggest it, but it's really not the case. If someone did that to me I would be upset. I'm sorry that I have the common decency not to lie to people's faces, deceive them, string them on and then expect them to take it with a smile on their face. I'm working for the man now anyway. Not much to be upset about really.
