This has become obvious to me when I was implementing my SMS patch. You see, I find it hard to believe that Jolla would put the most useless thing, the clock, in the place where the most missing thing, the character count should be, because they think a clock is a better idea. No, I suspect they put it there deliberately as a bait, waiting patiently for someone to patch it.

The same goes for any other patch of course: text select and copy&paste in the browser, any screen orientation in any app, extended call log, remorse timers, you name it. I have had a look at quite a few of them and most of them are really trivial. I find it hard to believe that Jolla developers have been totally blind to such things and incompetent to fix them for two years.

No, I am really getting inclined more and more each day that this is all part of a bigger plan. A plan to tell prospective licensing partners look, our OS is so flexible, you just do a little nip and tuck here and there and you can tweak it the way you like it. Just look at what a bunch of amateurs have done without a proper documentation, now imagine what you can do when we tell you where all the hidden Easter eggs are.

Man, yes i did frickin' 1000 system-updates in my life as everybody here did. Your implication we would report increase in performance ignoring this effect is a lame underestimation of your fellows ...

Having now three Jollas with three different versions laying around makes me want to do a comparison video as proof now.

stay tuned...
