  1. He said it never stops indexing. I think it's a hardware problem with the usb port or the ipod.
  2. You missed the previous discussions. They did test the hell out of it. The bugs were known well ahead of time. The original developers screwed up big time and by the time they realized it - they didn't have enough time to fix it before the vehicles were scheduled to ship. So they had to make a decision - pull the technology out of the 2011 Edge and Explorer, delay the new vehicles until they could be fixed, or go ahead and hope they could stabilize the software quickly before too much damage was done. There was no easy answer - you don't just delay a new vehicle and they would not have been able to offer Navigation or any type of touch screen radio for several months to a year. In short they were between a rock and a hard place. My point was that you don't just rewrite software like that in a couple of months. It takes 6 months to a year to do a rewrite like that especially when you have to be sure not to screw up again. You just can't rewrite complex software (remember it's integrated into the vehicle controls - it's not just the radio) like that quickly and be successful. Given that, I'd say they've done as much as they could possibly do in the time given once the original mistake was made.
  3. Most people don't care so they took it out to save money. You still have the front map lights. What scenario would benefit from the glovebox light? I really don't use mine other than the owner's manual.
  4. Don't take it literally. Google images is your friend.
  5. Would I be out of line if I asked for Adriana Lima stuffed in fishnet stockings?
  6. No need for name calling or responding to name calling.
  7. Ok - I'll give you that one...... NOW can we move on?
  8. Can we agree to disagree on this one? We've beaten it to death multiple times.
  9. It changes the volume at a certain speed (somewhere around 20-30 mph I think). It should be noticeable (on 7 especially).
  10. There is no point continuing to argue about this. Some of us obviously feel differently than others about what Ford should or shouldn't do. Let's drop it.
  11. I've been trying to explain exactly this for the last 14 months to no avail. I gave up.
  12. Ok, since we're venting...... I'm whisking the eggs before scrambling them and I put salt and pepper in the bowl with the eggs, then start whisking. My wife says she prefers to put the salt and pepper on the eggs in the pan before she starts folding them around in the pan with a spatula to cook them. I ask her why her method is better than mine and she says because it FEELS like her method distributes the seasoning better than using a wire whisk. And last week she was putting something in the oven to bake and I had the lower rack on the bottom for cooking pizza on a stone and the upper rack in the middle position. So instead of putting the tray on the middle rack, she moved the middle rack to the top and moved the bottom rack to the middle. When I tried to explain to her that it wasn't necessary to move the racks I just got a blank stare. Can't live with them........can't shoot them........
  13. I guess this is where we differ. I don't care at all what they say publicly as long as they fix the problems.
  14. Henkel knives and Calphalon cookware - I see a pattern here. The one that drives me nuts is my wife continuing to use a fork to scramble the eggs instead of the small metal whisk I bought specifically for that task and which works absolutely perfectly. She also thinks it's better to season the eggs after they're in the pan than while you're whisking them and she thinks it doesn't matter which rack in the oven you use when baking. Aaarrrggghhh!
  15. More quality than safety. Let's just say she's not as interested in a superior dining experience as I am - and she just doesn't enjoy cooking.
  16. Always that way. I think it has more to do with my desire to be in control.....the fact that I enjoy it is a side benefit.
  17. That wasn't an attack and you don't need to defend everyone.
  18. Have you ever managed an extremely large and complex software project?
  19. I'm not an expert on this but I think it was previously discussed. Do a forum search.
  20. I don't think it ever worked with iOS 4 so maybe it is a misprint. I'll try it on my daughter's Focus. She has MFT and an iPhone4 with iOS 5 also.
  21. It may be an iOS 5 feature. Have you upgraded?
