No, that statement is not bullshit. Just because OS X and iOS share the same foundation does not mean that they are the same thing. And they are certainly differentiated by far more than just their UI frameworks, even if they do have a lot in common. The name "OS X" should very clearly define the entire desktop OS, including its UI framework which I will reiterate, is designed very specifically for keyboard, mouse and monitor interaction. No part of "OS X" implies "iOS."
OS X was designed from the very beginning with the intention of being operated using a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Well, there's a lot of abstraction and wizardry involved in the capability to simply drag/drop files onto the desktop of a virtualized OS. That the capability is even there at all is pretty remarkable, especially given how all-encompassing the VMWare driver needs to be for a Linux client (lots of different display environments and other variables).
Don't let that behavior be the thing that deters you from KDE 4, unless it's doing it to you consistently from within the OS itself (and not across a VMWare bridge). The whole widget-just-for-desktop-files thing is odd, but I have seen workarounds for that in the past.
They've written in a lot of trackpad gestures over the years (and even made that weird trackpad hybrid pancake mouse thing) but a common two-button USB mouse still works like a champ.
NeXTSTEP incorporated components of BSD which are still apparent in OS X to this day. So while OS X wasn't based directly on BSD, it was based on it in a roundabout way.
...but if you understand what the promise of BlackBerry is to its user base: it’s all about getting stuff done.
Not with that clunky, tedious interface.
Games, media, we have to be good at it, but we have to support those guys who are ahead of the game. Very little time to consume and enjoy content — if you stay true to that purpose you have to build on that basis. And if we want to serve that segment we can’t do it on a me-too approach.
That's just the thing, though. They could modify Android and tailor it to be as business-oriented and distraction-free as they wish. It can have their own flavor of usability and features. Its home screen could look just like BB OS. And it can have BES compatibility. For what Android is packing under the hood, I think it offers a huge advantage over their existing OS.
Slashdot Mirror
Mozilla and Google happened.
Maybe with a MyCleanPC pitch thrown in.
Linux Torvolds.
Duh.
Ask a MacOS user what version of Mach he/she is running
The most likely response: "Uhm, it's pronounced 'Mac.' 'MAC.'"
Which means, every Arch user is running the same version.
I see what you did there.
In Soviet Russia, a Beowulf cluster of self-recognizing-robotic-overlords welcome Natalie Portman. Or hot grits.
Or vagina.
Even the trolling AC's are becoming self-aware. Fascinating...
Mario Bros != Super Mario Bros != Super Mario World
Also, this is far from being a clone...
It gets worse; the source thread refers to it as "Super Mario World" which itself is completely different.
From TFA:
'Many societies and cultures consider homosexuality to be contrary to their culture, morality or religion,' CITC said.
CITC being a Saudi Arabian commission.
Yeah, I wish we could moderate actual news posts as "-1 Redundant."
"Really fucking hot," in other words.
If you can be high as a kite till then, it shouldn't be too bad.

KDE 4 is quite good as long as it's done properly (id est, not Kubuntu).
And despite its iOS-isms, even the most recent version of OS X is still designed from the ground up to be operated by a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
You mean, you don't?
Perhaps Valve's efforts will help to make Linux a viable market for commercial game development?
Hopefully before Apple sues you for it.
