When your in technology you have to keep moving forward, you cant release a product, then stand around with your thumb up your ass while everyone surpasses you, and THEN start crying. Yes I know they have improved the iPhone, and if you look at a model 1 vs a model 4 there is a lot of things changed, but compared to the 3 there's not that much difference.
That's what people remember, not how far have you come, but how far have you gone since the last one, and people are noticing that there's not that much distance. iPhone is slowing down, and instead of getting geared up and working hard, Apple is choosing to pursue these silly little patent lawsuits on shit they should have never been awarded in the first god damned place. Just like a child who had its toy taken away they are acing like an ass and pissing everyone off in the area at the same time.
Whoa easy killer, I didnt know they personally came in and saved you and your family from terrorist mere moments before being shot in the head. I just think its funny that a group that advocates software freedom always gets their panties in a big ole wad when someone does something they didnt like. Fuck them its none of their concern what Ubunutu uses as a bootloader, thats (gasp) freedom.
As someone who has a small retro computer collection, and a good portion of it being mac's, I will complain, as its a freaking pain in the ass when stuff gets vomited on your desktop and your spending the next 20 or so min picking out files to trash either manually or segregating them to drag a box around. Its also a pain in the ass when you know something would be a simple command and you spend who knows how long to find a program to do it for you in a GUI just to find out it refuses to run.
In all honestly sometimes its actually easier to yank the disk out, plop it in a linux machine, do what you gotta do and put it back
so your going to purchase software without evaluation for professional use?
sounds brilliant, I would have told them to go fuck themselves when I couldn't even see their software, and went to a competitor that with a big enough possible license, let me demo their software, offered training, a free seat, and bought me god damned lunch without me even asking.
but you have fun with your probally wonky OSS solution that only allows people to evaluate their software only after the sales department has spent enough time not allowing people to evaluating their software, then wonders why they cant sell something no one can see
Back in the day you had to compile every little nitpick bullshit thing, and only a few hard core nerds bothered with it. If you want to slash your userbase, and community knock yourself out. I wont have any part of it, and I refuse to purchase a binary under the guise of a donation, I dont like being lied to.
Thats right, they dont care about how old the OS is, they want windows and they want what they know how to work. they dont care if its xp vista 7, but they will care that 8 doesnt work like they have known since 1995, and looks like a toy phone.
ok so If I go out and write a little chunk of asm that only effects X68 and attacks the mbr mac will be save cause its safe from pc viruses? hogwash, its immune to malware targeted for windows, just like my car is immune to diesel gelling cause its gas, doesnt mean the wheel wont fall off
Being 33 years old, every time I pick something up that I am told is a newpaper, all I get is 1 paragraph of a day old story and 4/5th of a page full of ad's for old lady underwear and flat out scams for gold, homes and used cars... I have given up on finding these fabled papers of news.

Good, there is nothing worse than a company who makes something interesting, then tries to beat the market in a game they dont understand. Just make the shit and sell it to all the other people who have design and marketing departments larger than your entire company, and let them deal with Q public.
They could win if everyone wants it, and if a reader fails they might have plenty of others to sell it to, instead of all of the eggs in one basket, and raffled off to the richest patent troll.

But to be honest i can't remember the last time I received or sent legitimate email to a gmail address, or yahoo. the magic trick is anyone serious about it uses those services as the service, but have it go though their own domain, so you dont have "johnnyjackoff123@hotmail.com" emailing you. Instead you have Customer service Representative JohnJack@bigbiz.corp
never mind that its running though yahoo/hotmail/gmail and is being associated though "johnnyjackoff123@hotmail.com", hell I have 3 of these, 2 for my 2 jobs and another for personal use all on yahoo.com

a couple of them were gifted with exceptional intelligence, the rest were gifted with exceptional arrogance, and above average con artist skills
For a company near deaths door it sure do sound like it...

developing a platform model != manufacturing though

I personally find every one of those a thinly veiled political tabloid
Whats a newspaper?
