Upgrade to Lion

[Bob Sneidar]

After reading that article, it reenforces this growing concern that I have that more and more people at Apple are not competent. It feels like after Steve passed that a lot of people who were not getting their way earlier are getting their way now, and screwing things up. I am probably just imagining things, but I think everyone has seen something with Lion, where they said, "Why did they do THAT??" instead of saying, "Hey, that's cool!" like we used to do.
