Joshua,
You are absolutely correct. "higher-order bit" it is. Even better. Can you imagine what a former English major's imagination did with that? n From: Friam [mailto:friam-boun...@redfish.com] On Behalf Of Joshua Thorp Sent: Sunday, March 24, 2013 3:01 PM To: The Friday Morning Applied Complexity Coffee Group Subject: Re: [FRIAM] Just sent this to the Google Device Support Team Also I doubt Owen ever said "top bit", I imagine it was probably "high-order bit". I like the question though, can a bug be on purpose. Seems like it would be in the eye of the beholder, one person's bug might be another's feature. --joshua On Mar 24, 2013, at 2:57 PM, Douglas Roberts <d...@parrot-farm.net> wrote: Nick's counselling session will be scheduled shortly... --Doug (Who can tell when his chain is being yanked.)

So, you guys. I need to understand this better. Can a "bug" be "on purpose"? It sounds to me like Google has sabotaged its own product, right. Therefore, if I understand the language, any Nexus phone thatactually worked, would be "buggy"., by definition. I am sorry to bother you about this, but these are the kinds of things that keep me awake at night.

It's been a while since we spoke, but I recently discovered that someone in your organization has been (I hope inadvertently) disseminating inaccurate information about this Nexus 4 <https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/mobile/l4uYRMVHnHY/rHpsXdwNGPc J> bug, and I thought you'd want to know about it right away. Here's the deal: you see, we all know that the Nexus 4 was not designed on purpose to prevent wifi and bluetooth from being used at the same time. We all know that it is a bug. Well, all of us except for Steve, apparently. Here, read for yourselves: http://things-linux.blogspot.com/2013/03/translated.html Now, we all have the utmost confidence that someone in your organization will immediately take Steve aside for a private little counselling session about the inappropriateness of, shall we say, bending the truth regarding this particular flaw in the Nexus 4 product. Thanks for your prompt attention to this matter.
