Just bear in mind that it's not a magical thing; it's just natural (and pretty obvious, when you think about it), so don't go all numerologisty on us.

Still the arrangement of numbers is pretty fascinating. Don't you think??

Nature IS fascinating!

If you want to make a totally incomprehensible statement. What makes it more fascinating than any other arrangement of numbers?

Computer programming usually isn't done in packed spirals, so there's no obvious reason why Fibonacci numbers would show up there.

Way way back when I did my degree, I remember doing an assignment (in FORTRAN) implementing a sorting algorithm based around Fibonacci numbers. From memory, it was a combination of bubble sorting short sequences where the sequence lengths were based on Fibonacci numbers (but it was a long time ago).

Absolutely. The number of bugs is equal to the F number indexed by the number of features.

Zero. It's the other way around; nature existed first and cares not a whit about it; the sequence is merely a description of nature.
iSahilSharma wrote: significance in Computer Programming
Only as a first-year exercise; possibly with recursion . My first run-in with Fibonacci was with BASCICplus way back in high school.
However I have seen code with Fibonacci indenting -- it deters deep nesting.
And when I'm estimating the effort required for a task (in TFS) I use Fibonacci numbers.

I've spent - literally - 12 hours restoring my iPhone after it lost the plot and refused to sync with iTunes. iTunes, no matter how much I swore at it, refused to sync my phone. It would simply hang and become unresponsive. Eventually, after endless reboots of both phone and macbook I restored my phone and applications in a sequence that consisted of:
1. connect devices
2. wait for the sync to start
3. wait until it hangs (usually after half a dozen apps were restored)
4. Force quit iTunes, sometimes by rebooting the machine - sometimes with a hard reboot - and a reboot of the iPhone (since the iPhone still thought it was syncing even though it wasn't connected to the Macbook.
5 restart everything. Go back to 1.
I'm on iOS 8.0.2 and the Macbook on Mavericks 10.9.5 - both the latest and greatest. Yet my iPhone, in the last few weeks, has become like the Android device I had but could no longer use because of crashes. The Macbook hangs, iTunes freezes - or just crashes and disappears - and iPhone apps crash several times a day.
I kind of expected this from Android apps - the bar for getting you app in the store is low, and hardware is varied - and the iPhone, until now, has been rock solid. Impressively solid.
So what's happened here? Is this the beginning of what's come through the pipeline since Jobs shuffled off this mortal coil? Is this what happens when you no longer have a single person calling BS and everyone else simply agreeing (if that was even the case). Is Apple now a collections of fiefdoms, Microsoft style, with each group becoming more focussed on the internal struggle than the external customer? Is it now easier for them to say "Yes, it's OK to ship" because the other option is to face backlash from a superior or be mocked by other groups?
I'm sad. Deeply sad at this. Apple software never "Just worked" as the marketing said, but it was always reasonably robust. Microsoft long ago took on the attitude of "We'll never make it perfect. so design it to fail" and we have excellent error reporting, crash dialogs that look for solutions online, and an OS that pro-actively helps you with apps that are unresponsive. My Windows 7 machines are so reliable that a crash (and I can't remember that last OS crash) is a shocking event.
Maybe it's time for Apple to start realising that it's software smells just like everyone else's.
