Of course not.  You're just throwing stones with no accuracy and lesser 
effect.

iTunes is usable as well as needlessly complex, functionally 
inconsistent and user-interface disorganized.

No, he isn't alone in that conviction, but I, too, have used this
software since SoundJam days. I have always liked it, and it has always
worked for me. It does diverse tasks without mixing them up, and I make
no apology to those who refuse to learn it and like it for my own
success with iTunes.

As for iCloud syncing of calendars and contacts, I have found no bugs
that couldn't be squashed by learning how to use the functions.

No functions to learn.  Just a 3rd party patch/workaround to repair the 
damage done by the iCould sync bug on the Mac.

You jest.
A few posts from nobodies that they have problems similar to yours makes 
your argument??

I used no third party anythings, and I learned to remove- and not 
create- duplicates.

The nature of this bug is that it affects some computers, not all, and 
from what I read to varying degrees.  So you happen to have a computer 
on which it has not had an effect or minimally so.

As I said before, when a key product from Apple (their huge splash over 
iCloud) comes out of the paddock buggy I don't walk from it, I run.

I won't use workarounds to fix it.

I won't manually fix many entries in my calendar.

Instead I'll use iTunes/iPhone sync (which works) to sync those 
calendars.  I don't need iCloud for that - esp. when it the sync 
function has known bugs.

The whole purpose of the iCloud is to reduce effort and improve ones lot 
by reducing work.  It has failed in my case and that of the people in 
the linked forum above - which is not a unique list.  They, like you, 
are not "nobodies".

You're wrong.  Browne may or may not know how to handle calendars, but 
that doesn't change the fact that there was a *bug* in some early 
iCloud migrations which did cause duplicates.

Moreover, Apple has a history of bugs and burps in sync services.  It 
hosed my Address Book at least twice (though, in fairness, that was 
several generations back with iSync.)

Nevertheless, you cannot conclude that the user doesn't know what he's 
doing when sync services or migrations duplicate data.

Um, no.  That may be the way *you* are doing it, but it's not the only 
way Apple provides.

(a) you can have any of several apps automatically start up when you 
plug in the camera.  iphoto is the likely default, but you could also 
have it be Image Capture.  So step (2) is unnecessary

(b) if you don't want to use iPhoto, don't.  ImageCapture will download 
to any folder you like.  Or send them to some app you like.  So there's 
no need for separate steps (3) or (4).

It's the same two steps, but with a nicer interface than dragging and 
dropping files.

And it's already on your computer.
> 
> That is something Apple could make a lot simpler - and w/o the stinkin' iCould.

They have.  It's been around for a long time.  You already have it.  
Image Capture has been around since at least 10.4 (probably longer, but 
I don't remember off the top of my head), was totally updated in 10.6, 
and not only speaks to your camera, but also to your scanner and lots 
of other devices.  It's what I use with my AIO networked print/scan/fax.

(The current version with ML is 6.2 (451), and the copyright says 
2000-2012, so maybe it was around with the very first OSX - predating 
even iPhoto by a couple of years)

Plug in camera
Run "Preview".
File "import from camera"
Then save all to a directory.

You can set Preview to open when it detects a new card being attached to 
the computer. Most cameras can be set to look like a card.

So, hit button to Import.
Select directory if you want it to be different than what's presented.

I use Canon's own software for my camera, but have found Preview
very helpful for downloading photos from my iPhone. Unlike iPhoto,
it lets me save and organize the photos just how I want--such as
in directories of my choice, as John noted.

Although the poll is indeed about a DSLR (which is a dumb idea for
Apple), the article is about a point-and-shoot.

I think a good, reasonably priced point-and-shoot that would geotag
pictures and directly load them to Photostream or some social
networking sites might be a winning product idea, though it is hard to
imagine it capturing the market share Apple is used to.

That's what it will be if it is to be.

I think it could catch on like wild fire.

One of the problems right now is the massive choice in P&S cameras.  Go 
to dpreview.com to get a feel for it.

What Apple can bring to that is a single offering at a time (in 2 or 3 
under the skin variations) and simplify the whole thing.  Add 
WiFi/Bluetooth and the Apple USB connector, no removable memory card (it 
would have 8 or 16 GB of photo/video memory).

Throw in a decent optic, about 16 - 200mm (in 35mm terms), (designed by 
Zeiss and made by a good glass fab) with a decent sized sensor (at least 
8x6 mm, larger if possible) and it could be quite a winner.  And please 
a real flash.

It will be sleek and slim (other than the lens) and probably sell by the 
gazillions while gutting the other's sales.

Well, I would think seriously about it.   But I have trouble 
imagining it reaching iPhone levels of dominance.  

The market size and the replacement time for digitial cameras is (I
think) smaller and longer (respectively) than that for phones.  Also,
there are a lot of cheap cameras on the market (many of them are not 
very good).  Apple, if true to form, would make a high quality product
at a competitive price for that quality level.  But I'm not sure how
many discriminating consumers there are in the point-and-shoot market
(certainly there are some, but judging from the success of cheap
mediocre camers, there aren't that many).

Yeah - I think this is why it will be difficult for Apple to grab much
of the market.

If you are right, this will be a fun product to see.  I have my doubts
- I think it will be too expensive to sell by the gazillions.

I think you misunderstand my point.  If you go look at dpreview the 
choices are overwhelming.  People trying to figure out what to get have 
so many choices that it's frustrating and hard to get it right for 
someone who doesn't understand the specs.

But if Apple comes along (and in their true marketing whiz-bang way) 
makes a product that doesn't need to be understood per se, it's Apple. 
Period.  And of course it will be an ace at P&S photography and do most 
things more than well enough for most people.

People will chuck trying to decide what to buy on dpreview and take the 
simple choice.  Apple iSnap.

Most interesting is that with iOS there could suddenly be a plethora of 
apps for such a phone to enhance what it can do.  (As there are many 
apps for the iphone that take photos - some well, others ...)^.

Make a phone, slap the Apple logo on it with iOS inside with all the 
iPad-esque stuff built it (indeed a fast link to the iPad) and people 
will just get it and make do.  Cue the Reality Distortion Field 
commercials and watch everyone else's sales crash.

^It's germane to note that most Canon P&S cameras can be re-programmed 
to a degree ( http://chdk.wikia.com/wiki/FAQ ).
