Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 8 a Pig?

Posted by timothy on Sunday September 21, 2014 @05:48AM from the not-intended-to-denigrate-pigs dept.

kyjellyfish writes I've been using iOS 8 for several days and aside from a few gimmicks and add-ons that attempt to achieve parity with Android, my experience has been overwhelmingly unsatisfactory. My chief complaint is that the vast majority of my apps are slow to boot and noticeably sluggish in operation. I want to point out that all of these apps have been "upgraded" specifically for iOS 8 compatibility. Previous operating system upgrades have been relatively seamless, so I'm asking whether other slashdotters have experienced this degraded performance.

I think you mean "Cojones", it means "Balls" as in "Testicles".
"Cajones" on the other hand, means "Drawers", as in "Desk drawers".

What's a Mac Mini Retina?
Since the Mac Mini doesn't come with any sort of display, I'm assuming you just plugged the display port cable straight into your own retina.
