community has enough work helping people out who face regular bugs etc, so people who flashed something from megauploads.com or similar can IMO be left sailing to a raft in the middle of a sea....

I've never heard stuff like that on xda-developers where most of the roms
are pirated or contain some not distributable files or are downloaded from
megaupload.... and nonetheless they work and in fact they work better most
of the time and when they don't people are willing to help despite flaming
you for posting in devel section rather than in the questions section.
The only responsibile for this situation is Nokia as they have the possibility
to distribute bugfixes to people as their distro is deb based but choose not
to do so and drive users with not working phones to the insanity of flashing
dubious ROMs to get their expensive toys working as expected finally.

P.S.: all this resembles to what happened in the overclock thread where
maemo-nokia people were telling for months that it was impossible
to overclock the N900 and that all sorts of bad things would happen
until it was proved that it was possible with no nuclear fallout.

aside of that, testing a firmware updates can be done in 2 days. within 2 days i can tell exactly what is wrong with it. Give it 1 month to fix these problems... but how long are we waiting now?

You live in what dream land? 2 days to test any software is not enough. When it comes to the software that's actually running the device, months are needed if there are many updates.

You wanting to portrait yourself as a software Superman is perhaps more telling than Nokia doing the QA work for real...

However open the kitchen is, ask the cook.

This assumes, of course, that the cook actually responds when you ask him/her questions.

I agree. There is a huge difference between a small thing that should work on a *very* limited number of devices (whatever it is) in a limited number of circumstances and several hundred thousand or millions of devices. Under these circumstances failure rates need to be *really* small.

Re: [Opinion Leaked PR1.2] Are we really to blame?

There is a big difference between stealing someone else's yet to be released software and 'open source' as mentioned earlier.

I'm still not making sense of the post title. 'Are we really to blame'.

Any offers on what we're to blame for ??

Apols Jaki & post corrected above. Thought the post i read was from you and cant locate it now either grrrrr.
