"Ostrich syndrome" may be what he was referring to. It refers to when an ostrich senses danger, it sticks its head in the sand, because if it can't see the danger, it must not exist.

Likewise, Motorola is ignoring their current customers because they think we're not an issue. They've already got our money, so they don't think we can do anything about them abandoning our phones.

At least that's my interpretation.

But yeah... Didn't get any time on the camera, the last 24 hours have been kinda hectic. We're both busy all weekend.

I think I'm overthinking this whole thing. The video doesn't need to be perfect. It doesn't even need to be professional quality. I don't have a Motorola logo I can use. I have a printer but it's a piece of crap (aren't all inkjets?) and it's out of ink. The boxes is the best I can do. I have access to laser printers, so I can get a ~8" Motorola logo, but it would be grey. So I'm just gonna boot both phones up, no head start, and just say that Motorola isn't upgrading us because of [their reasons] and show that mine boots up faster than hers. And I'm not gonna mess with a factory reset. The point has been raised that maybe the update was canceled because with all the extra apps they add, it would slow it down. Okay, I have over 50 apps. It still starts faster. So I'll mention that too. I'll have time. And I'll be using JB, 4.1.2. So "If it can run the absolute latest JB that just came out a few days ago, loaded with apps and games and it STILL boots faster than the GB build... checkmate Motorola." And PS, if a volunteer developer on XDA can do more with this phone than the likely overpaid devs for a multinational tech company... I think those devs need to step up their game, or the company should hire more competent techs.

MotoBlur runs like crap, why? Is it because it adds features? I don't buy that. Look at four Facebook apps. TweetDeck, Flipster, FriendCaster, and Facebook (official). From left to right, they go small to large, fast to slow, pretty much exactly. TweetDeck looks terribad and is primarily a Twitter app that also does Facebook. Flipster is damn nice, but has load/hang issues. FriendCaster is a nice compromise, but it has ads, and with an ad blocker, still can't fill the screen. And we all know how bad official Facebook is. Yet all four apps basically accomplish the same goal. That tells me that the developers of the first two are a heck of a lot more skilled and savvy than the developers of the second two. Apps don't need to be huge and eat a ton of RAM, but they can if the dev is lazy. And we will only see more and more of this, the more space phones get. Look how much space an NES game takes up (128-256kB), a Super NES game (0.5-4MB), a Nintendo 64 game (up to 48MB), and today's games (up to 50GB, I believe is the biggest). The original Final Fantasy took hours and hours, and you could fit 5 copies of it on a floppy. No load times either. Skyrim is probably today's best RPG, and it's ~10GB with the two expansions that are currently available. Not that Bethesda or any other developer that makes huge apps or games is incompetent. But incompetent devs seem to me, to be a big part of why Motorola thinks ICS won't run on our phones. Sure it will. Cut the fluff and ship a good update.
