Developers Expect iOS and MacOS To Merge
AHuxley noticed the frightening little Ars story talking about a certain expectation that
iOS and MacOS will merge, leading to a single DRM-locked OS on your MacBook and your iPad. Certainly Apple would love a piece of every app sold. Now I'm sure that this has been discussed over there, but I wouldn't expect it any time soon.
And as soon as Jobs will announce in some future keynote:
"We are merging iOS & MacOS during the next year since personal computers are things of the past."
all the Apple fanbois will tell
"Hail Steve! Good move! We were waiting for it! Let's hurry and burn our computers!"
The iPad sold 3 million units in 80 days. That's pretty impressive and certainly not the iFailure declared by many.
Given the vast amounts of media coverage and free advertising worldwide for many months, starting before the device was even announced, it would be abysmal if it had sold anything less. It's not a failure, but I'd say it's not living up to the hype and claims of it being revolutionary that were made.
There are plenty of other tablets, netbooks, etc on the market that also aren't failures. Where's the media coverage, complete with three stories a day on Slashdot, about them? Indeed, some of these devices, even from market leaders like Nokia, don't even get a single news story for their actual product releases.
You feel that? Thats called irony. When the biggest Mac troll on slashdot tries to call someone a troll for bullshit. Now the next time you want to call someone a troll you need to take a good, long look in the mirror first.
Just out of curiosity, do you honestly expect me to read the rest of your post, after starting out like this?
Calling people who disagree with you "fanboys" (or "freetards" or using words like "Windoze" and "Micro$oft", you get the idea) is trollish bullshit. Simply having an opinion that is not anti-Apple is not bullshit, nor is it trollish.
Anyway, I hope you didn't put too much effort into the rest of your post, since you've given me no reason to continue reading it. Quite the contrary, in fact.
You were so quick to try to label the first person a troll, yet panic when I called you one. Pot meet kettle.
And yes, I've read your posts, and I know you read mine. Your post showed me that. I asked for you to give a legit citation, something you can't do because you know you've made up your posts, all of your posts. I went through you posts. You spout out whatever seems to come to your mind, fully expecting everyone to accept what you say is god-honest truth. Even when its been shown you were wrong. And even when you've been shown that your wrong, you spout more nonsense still unable to give a single legit citation because your hoping to cover lies with more lies. Myself and others here have tried to have mature conversions with you but you always go back to the same old problems expecting everyone to take your word as gold because you said it. All I've asked you for is some legit citations, not much. And still, you refuse to.
Your claiming that I have a differing opinion. Showing facts that counter your say-so isn't a differing opinion. Its calling your bluff. And again, I'm calling your bluff. Prove me wrong.
Attention... all grammer nazi"s! Is they're anything; wrong with: my post,
