  Why on earth would someone do bug fixes for free for a corporation that has cash reserves of $250 billion but is too stingy to pay for quality control?

    Because otherwise thousands of developers will have to see that typo for the next ten years.

      But by fixing it yourself, aren't you effectively training the corporation to stay sloppy? Sure, this bug is fixed right now. But a year down the road, when the staff count for quality assurance gets renegotiated, the position to deliver quality out of the box gets weakened, resulting in even more bugs of this kind.

        This is slightly absurd. It's reporting a very minor bug, not offering to implement a whole feature. Are you saying that no-one should report anything because it encourages them to let bugs slide into production?

        > Are you saying that no-one should report anything because it encourages them to let bugs slide into production? No, of course not :) That would indeed be absurd. What I meant was this particular case. Apple of all companies is by no means incapable of hiring people to deliver quality. They make billions upon billions by avoiding taxes[0] and shifting production to deleloping countries [1]. If a company like this learns that it can externalize QA even more, they will do so. We are not talking about social contract like situtions here, this isn't open source software.

        Apple's bread-and-butter is products. To the extent that they shift their focus from their products, they jeopardize profits and every other measure of business success. Good QA is part of being focused on products. So our response (or lack of response) to glitches like this in their software is very unlikely to affect their overall approach. Either they're product-focused or not: if they are, they'll be profitable and QA will be good. If not, they'll eventually fade away anyway. ... All to say, if you want to see issues like this fixed, I suggest reporting them and not worrying about it.

        No.

      But at the same time you can't really admonish someone for not doing something you won't do either.
