Screw patents. I wish Apple would shake hands with Google and give up patents. They are silly and waste time that can go in development and in designing better products. Samsung is dodging patents like in the matrix! This is not productive.
Apple sucks ass big time:) but this is a good idea ! I see 2 fears:
1) plugins: if apple implements this right then browsers and final cut and others might request get all permissions or they can recalculate all permissions based on the plugins they have. I would like to see each time I install a new plugin a message like "the application X wants this extra permission:read/write external files because - {insert some reason the developer wrote}. Do you agree to add the extra permission?Yes/No". This could mean less virus infections on Macs.
2) external apps cannot be installed: well this is a serious issue but most Mac users have iPhones so this is not new to them:). Most Apple fans are not experts in computers (see the haters/fanboys difference on slashdot comments) . They like a single place where to install everything. I have a Ubuntu laptop I love installing stuff from their software center. it is simple and painless. I like the freedom of installing extra.deb packages but I rarely use it.
I got that Unity wallpaper http://iloveubuntu.net/sites/default/files/field/image/unity_shortcuts_wallpaper_1.png and learned all the shortcut keys, I am also using Synapse since I don't think the lenses are yet mature enough for example they cannot return "Deja Dup" for a string like "DeDup". I have been using the mouse very rarely for the past year.
Unity is not yet mature, is not configurable enough but it's really cool. I really don't understand why is the Linux community against Unity and Gnome3.
I think I am going to try out Gnome 3 to see how that works. It looks cool.
PS: I also shrunk all those dock bar icons to the minimum from ccsm.
+1 I had Issues with Deja Dup. It seemd to have a partial restore of my files. I did not actually understand what happened. + Deja Dup has issues with soft/hard links. Clonezilla is OS agnostic (tested on Ubuntu and Win7) and works like a charm. It is not incremental. It takes a snapshot of the partition. I used only these 2 solutions.
