TUAW Tip: How to submit a bug to Apple

Find something wrong with an Apple app? Know about a problem with the operating system? Want to know what to do about it? Consider submitting a bug report at Apple's bug reporter website. It's the best way to get Apple's attention and generate a trouble ticket for the problem you've discovered.

The site is open to any registered Apple developer and it's free to become a registered Apple developer--you don't actually have to be, you know, a real actual coding or programming developer. Just sign up for an account here.

Apple has a handy best practices page to help you submit the best bug report possible. (Hat tip to our own Laurie for this great link!)
