What about GPU scores though? What'll be interesting is to see what a quad core A8X would look like, and how it compares to intel's HD 5000, AMD and NVIDIA's discrete GPUs. Imagine dropping an A8X or an A9X in your new MacBook Pro as the GPU. All of a sudden, you have both x86 and ARM in one box. With Grand Central Dispatch, and some special code, you can even offload CPU intensive tasks to the A*X. Metal API is pretty impressive to a non-coder like me, making it available on the MacBooks would be amazing.
I wonder how a quad core A8X compares to one of the x86 GPUs. And if not the A8X, then the A9X. One of these days, it will catch up, and since it's Apple's own design, it'll be cheap to drop one in as a GPU. Think about it, you now have an ARM cores in your MacBook Pro, in addition to the x86 cpu, being extremely energy efficient. With Grand Central Dispatch, it might even be possible to push some instructions over (or perhaps specially written code).
Please do not try to inject facts into a haterz rant. It's not as if Apple is better than Android in providing timely updates to all the devices they support. Or force you to wait for your manufacturer to provide the update. Or allow your carriers to screw you over by withholding updates. Oh wait...
No. His father. However, his mom was on the same charity board that IBM's CEO was. "Oh, you do computers? I should introduce you to my son, he does computers too!" and that's how Microsoft got it's start.
Whereas many of the Apple fans, old and new, seem to like the way Apple/OS X works over both Linux and Windows.
It's not as if there's no cheap(er) Windows options out there, or more expensive Windows options out there. How come Apple's marketshare is growing YoY, especially in face of declining marketshare among general PC vendors.
And on top of that, the user satisfaction ratings are through the roof (heck, the iPad had a higher approval rating than Samsung's tablet *IN* South Korea last year).
It would appear that their choices are in alignment with their users more than anyone else.
No no, this could turn out to be an HaterGate. Please do not try to bring facts into it! Let people who don't even use OS X come in and rant about the poor choices Apple consistently makes.
Sure. But, encryption of in-flight and at-rest data thwarts both passive and dragnet surveillance. This is *exactly* the thing that we've been screaming about for the past year or so.
Uh, no. What has been screamed about is that meta data collection is happening on a broad scale
Methinks someone doesn't understand what dragnet means.
Are you fucking shitting me? It's an open source license. That means you can fork it at will if they screw with the license. Is this what passes for critical thinking around here, or is it just bash anything at will?
which does not discuss this at all. How does the article back up your argument again? Would you like to find another article from a reputable source or a peer reviewed journal?
Also, you claim:
It's comparing equal pay for equal work and education.
and the article you are using as evidence says:
At every education level, from high-school dropouts to Ph.D.s, women continue to earn less than their male peers.
I am unable comprehend how you managed to read "equal pay for equal work and education" from "At every education level, from high-school dropouts to Ph.D.s, women continue to earn less than their male peers."

Ha ha ha, good one. Less than 1 million sold this last round, it must have been a deafening clamor.

It's my fucking SIM, you idiot, the carrier has no right to fuck with *MY* SIM.
Right... Then you should be happy that you can still sell your Mac for some $$ which will cover your next windows laptop.

But wait, I thought OP's stance was that Apple uses bog standard parts. Now you're claiming Apple use proprietary parts.
Which is it?!?!

So, how many systems do you manage where SELinux is actually in use, and by that, I do not mean enabled with a "allow all".
You are missing a sarcasm tag, hopefully.
Without fixing your congress critters, how do you plan to get to your nirvana?
Yes you are defending them.
--picking nits.
Uh, no. What has been screamed about is that meta data collection is happening on a broad scale

They never had the keys in the first place. What they have done is to enable more things to be covered by encryption.
Reading's over rated if all OP wanted to do was rant and dump on Linux...
You don't know how long a pop up window is active without a key logger? You kidding me?
My god, how do people even make excuses for shit like this?!
You do realize their implementation of PHP is the only secure form of PHP out there? The one they released as a virtual machine?
Are you fucking shitting me? It's an open source license. That means you can fork it at will if they screw with the license. Is this what passes for critical thinking around here, or is it just bash anything at will?
Speak for yourself. Some of these are of interest to me and my company.
Please don't destroy his dreams. Reality is painful.
Stop trying to make sense on the Internet!
I'm not sure you understand how debating works. OP made a claim. I asked for evidence. The onus is on OP to provide the evidence.
If you have evidence to back up your position, by all means, please do share.
Uh. Help me out here. You wrote:
The classic "wage gap" complaint has always been based on ignoring the "hours worked" gap.
and as evidence you pointed me to: http://online.wsj.com/articles...
