Re: [What they said] Apple calculator a bad joke

There is absolutely no way a rounding error in a single floating-point calculation could cause an error in the first decimal place! That is, with no exaggeration, a million times worse than the Pentium bug. And in the second example, it's an error of 38 orders of magnitude!
It's pretty clear that Apple's QA has never even glanced at Calculator.app at any point in its life. Here's a much more obvious bug (albeit less serious) that a 5-year-old would have noticed: try entering the number 1.00000002 correctly, on the first try. Not so easy, is it?
