I noted that with the ios5 and iCloud migration there are an abundance of progress bars that mean nothing.
Let me explain : a progress bar needs to show that something is happening and an indication of how much work of the total has been done.
Too often the progress bar only shows "I am working", without "how much has been done/left to do".
Meaning there is now idea for the user to understand whether the computer is hung, or actually working.
Very frustrating when you have no idea how much overall time is needed.
