No they don't compete in the market as a whole. People who buy $50 phones aren't going to buy $600 phones and people who buy $600 phones aren't going to buy $50 phones. They aren't the same customer base. For all practical purposes they are different products.
Apple has very good memory management for the application developer. They are supposed to be telling the OS what memory is purgeable and cooperating. The system then uses automatic termination or sudden termination (both are opt in for applications). There is also memory compression. The OS is expecting to use as much memory as it can cooperating with applications. It doesn't want the end user doing anything more than telling it which applications are still running and which aren't. That's really where it is configurable.
Reconfiguring OS X is something you can do because it is a Unix, but you are going to have to reconfigure it like a Unix. Apple doesn't support it easily.
Well to use my daughter as an example she doesn't download anything. She just pays $60 a year to have unlimited access to 90% of the all the music she could ever possibly want. She doesn't get to keep anything but the total cost is very reasonable.
Actually in the price point they compete in ($400+, $500+ phones) they are gaining share. The huge growth is in the $150- part of the market and Apple is getting none of that. You can count share by grouping sneakers, and jumbo jets into "transportation facilitation devices" and just counting units. And that would be similar to the way people count smartphones as one big pile.
I think there has been some rather large innovation.
iPhone: an entirely new manufacturing process unlike any ever done for any consumer device ever allowing for thinner and lighter an entirely new GUI the introduction of a finger print based security / payment system
mac laptop: The move to high resolution (retina display) standardizing on SSD allowing the operating system to use a small frequent write strategy that won't work for HDD
desktop: an entirely new pro line the move to fusion technology
I get that. My point to GP was that Apple is aware of that way of doing things and didn't do it that way because they wanted the album much more widely available. They wanted a push not a pull.
I was using short hand. You have to mount the drive so that the/private/var/vm/swapfile is a hardlink. So for example you might mount a drive to/vm and then have/X/private be a hardlink. You can't just symlink for swap.
There seems to be a permanent shift in the younger generation not owning music. I don't know that piracy is the problem. My daughter and her friends (all teenagers) don't pirate but they, with very few exceptions for which those services don't work, don't buy music on a per song or per album basis. Rather they subscribe to services or get ads via. things like Pandora, youtube and Spotify.
My generation which was enculturated to buy music still buys. But I think we are talking about a true cultural shift where younger people see music like TV shows as something they wouldn't own for a lifetime.
Apple does that all the time. They have free music I think every week. This is a higher end promotion where they purchases a premium product not something from an up and coming band.
No it is a "we reserve the right to act in the common interest". Which is something if you actually own an Apple device that they do regularly. You know all those apps your phone came with, you didn't pick them either.
Well first off this wouldn't download except on wife. But that's a stupid expectation. Apple does push out security updates and things like that as needed. Also if you have autoupdate on then you have it on for applications most likely in which case this could be happening as frequently as daily as various mobile apps update.
You are a macpro user. You can move swap where ever you want. Either just hardlink/private/var/vm/swapfile to some other drive or change the path in com.apple.dynamic_pager.plist to point to a directory with a larger drive.
Apple is pretty good about this. For about a decade they've had a sequence of warnings as your drive gets too full. I don't know the exact level they kick in because I give the systems the swap space they need but yes they do warn users effectively.
The album including artwork is 144m. Macmini come in 500g-1t sizes for quite a while now. Which means you are talking.01-.025% or so. If you are running your computers that close to locking up it ain't Apple that is at fault. Besides why would you have an iTunes account at all on work computers or be set to autodownload?
Revenues are up almost 50% since Job's years. There have been several successful products launched and Apple is much more heavily embedded in the global mobile ecosystem. So yes.
IPv6 traffic is increasing exponentially and we are already up to 4.42% ( http://www.google.com/intl/en/... ) . My money is IPv6 is the majority of all traffic by the end of 2018 and likely during 2017.
You noticed one problem below. But there is another one. IPv6 addresses are 128 bits not 64 bits. They are (2^64)^2 in size. 2^64 is the size of a IPv6 subnet. Now the universe is still about 10^80 atoms so you still have 2.9e41 atoms per address. So your main point that the original poster was wrong about the relative size still holds.

Take a look at the statistics. Point data can be misleading.
You have a good point. Apple lacks safety there.

I don't know if you are reading this but that's interesting. Why would Servo use C and C++? The whole idea for Rust I thought was parallelism.

The growth has happened in areas like computers where the market has beens shrinking as well.

Yeah odd typo that still sort of worked. Oh well.
Apple doesn't tend to go down those slippery slopes. They are able to use discretion and judgement.

Purchases over 50m download from wifi. So no this wasn't hitting a data cap at all.

And just to add to that, this isn't the first time. They did it 4x earlier with songs and videos I believe.
