Apple Implements the CalDAV Standard For MobileMe
Vermyndax writes "Apple announced the new MobileMe Calendar beta on July 6th. The mainstream press picked up the story and plugged the gorgeous new iPad-like interface for all devices. It seems, however, that they missed the real story: MobileMe's new Calendar application is an implementation of CalDAV, the proposed calendaring standard. This may be the same implementation that exists in Snow Leopard Server and is open sourced. The hidden gem in all of this is that Apple plans to bring this CalDAV connectivity to Outlook users on MobileMe. Where might they take it next?"
He named one apologist. You named zero bashers. I don't see how that proves that he's wrong and you're right.
The user jo_ham doesn't seem like an apologist, just somebody else who is annoyed at this phenomenon. See this discussion: jo_ham on Slashdot moderation of non-negative Apple comments. So, the score appears to be zero to zero, which means they're both untested, and you're wrong.
If you mod me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine.
Why bother naming names, when I can just open any story whatsoever about Apple, and get a face full of angry bashing?
Try pointing out any negative trait on Apple products. Then do the same for Microsoft products. Then for Linux. Then watch how you get moderated. The results are... interesting.
Speaking of mods, the person to whom you are replying was modded down as flambait, despite clearly being anything but. It kind of refutes your assertion about unfair moderation, no?
Anyway, I regularly point out negative traits about Apple products and Microsoft product and Linux. Linux is the least fairly modded (as would be expected) with negative comments routinely modded down for no reason other than that people don't like hearing about the areas where Linux still needs work. Similar comments about flaws in OS X or the iPhone regularly get modded up.
To the moon?
