Apple Under Fire For Backing Off IPv6 Support

Posted by samzenpus on Sunday April 15, 2012 @03:07AM from the no-ipv6-for-you dept.

alphadogg writes "Apple Computer came under fire for back-pedaling on its support for IPv6, the next-generation Internet Protocol, at a gathering of experts held in Denver this week. Presenters at the North American IPv6 Summit expressed annoyance that the latest version of Apple's AirPort Utility, Version 6.0, is no longer compatible with IPv6. The previous Version, 5.6, offered IPv6 service by default. While home networking vendors like Cisco and D-Link are adding IPv6 across their product lines, Apple appears to be the only vendor that is removing this feature."

Cue every fucking Apple fag in the world parrotting that IPv6 is evil and broken - and that's why Apple has removed it.
I wasn't aware you could buy fruity, avian cigarettes, nor was I aware they were against IPv6. After all, everyone knows cigarettes are bad for you.

Quartz Extreme and Core Image. Are there any other real reasons to spend all that money on generic hardware?
