Key word: "can". You have the option to NOT use icloud keychain sync, and it clearly asks you whether you want to. Been running mavericks since DP1. It's good.
1 month wait too long for you? if you're rolling 2012 R2 into your datacenter on week 1 of release, you're doing it wrong. If it was released today, I'd suggest that at least 6 months of regression testing and documentation updates, etc, in a test environment would be prudent first.
Looks like someone can't understand the concept of an example for the sake of making a point. I'm sure most people would much rather have a device that doesn't crash and doesn't get hacked, than gain 10% in speed.
Security in non-trivial code is hard. People insist on writing stuff in C and other "hard" languages. And this is the result. We probably should have switched to Ada a long time ago. Oh noes it is 10% slower = no excuse. Just buy the 2.2ghz machine instead of 2ghz.
I'm not saying that apple would. however microsoft as a company are not in decline. Their desktop platform is, but this is true for the desktop market in general. Obviously, you'd do a projected ROI before purchasing Microsoft to work out a realistic price. But the question was whether apple COULD buy MS. Given the numbers above (enough cash to put a 50% deposit on the loan required), they probably COULD.
GP made the assertion that "no amount of obfuscation" will help you. Ciphers are obfuscation of "insecure" (i.e., sitting out in the public space) data.
You know what isn't supported by most of the applications people running Windows are using? Point being - changing OS is easy. Changing all your applications is not free, even if the purchase cost is 0.
Apple give developers regular betas to code against as well, with notes on changes (and recommendations of features to test against) listed in the seed notes.
Because if you can raise the bar in terms of effort required to be equal to, or more than just writing your own damn product, then you'll get less people freeloading off your development.
Given that the germans are some of the best drivers I've ever been on the road with or driven with (including Australia, UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, Vancouver, Seattle, Mali, Zambia, South Africa, Vanuatu, Fiji, Kazakhstan and other places I've forgotten, I'd say they're doing quite a few things right. If you're basing your assumptions about the german driving test on the one you did in the US, you're making a mistake.

Mavericks is as fast or faster than ML on the same hardware, with better power consumption in my experience (MBP 15 2011)
Lion -> ML -> Mavericks has been steady improvement, running on my 2011 hires 2.2Ghz 15" MBP.

Maybe the code is finished and they're re-doing artwork, or adding additional drivers or something. Who knows.

Mod parent up.UAC is not inherently bad, and was necessary to maintain any compatibility with old broken applications.
You can't polish a turd, however you can roll it in glitter.
They're not charging you for a service pack, because Windows 8.1 is a free upgrade for Windows 8.
Data extraction isn't the only "exploit". If you can crash a program, you can offer get it to run arbitrary code with a well crafted payload.

lol.
Targeted != exploited. They're both targeted, just android is a lot easier to exploit because there is so much junk out there without any updates.
Interoperability with third parties is clearly not an aim of those doing code obfuscation.

You think that the original developer doesn't have an unobfuscated copy that isn't just run through an obfuscator before being released? Lol.

If you have 140bn in CASH, a bank will most certainly give you a loan against that to purchase an asset worth 280bn.

It's not an urban legend, it used to be fact, back in the days of the Voodoo, Voodoo2, Riva 128, TNT, TNT2 and Geforce.
Newsflash: encryption delcared to be pointless on slashdot!
More seriously, if you're (not the poster above) storing unencrypted data on dropbox, joke's on you...

Not likely, if the take up (if you can call it that) of Windows 8 is anything to go by.
