Multiple operating system with different font rendering, with multiple browsers on each, then responsive to adapt to different screen sizes, then hi-dpi to support higher dpi displays, and now VR in 3D? And it's supposed to still degrade gracefully?
And on-board, soldered RAM with no upgrade possible after you buy it. Since you can't delay upgrades, that makes the Mac mini too expensive at purchase time. And the entry-level model just plain sucks. Only 4GB of RAM, a slow 1.4GHz CPU and still using a 5400RPMs HDD in a 600$CAD computer in 2015, really?

Also, I'm glad my old Mac mini is still supported! (mid-2010 model)
Disgusting? Compared to what? The billion of locations that support credit card payment?

"Only AMD Macs" would mean they would need to drop support for the Mac mini, most MacBooks and even some iMacs.
But yeah, if there's one thing they didn't say, it was which hardware was going to be left behind with "El Capitan". I'm pretty sure my old Core 2 Duo, nVidia 320m Mac mini isn't going to be on the list of supported hardware.

-Can you access the file dialog with out waiting forever with just the spinning disk showing? -Can the screen properly update without black boxes sometimes covering content / UI elements?
So it's not just me then. Core 2 Duo with nVidia 320m, 8GB RAM and 5400RPM HDD here, what about you?
I have no interest in being connected 24/7, I always own an older model of iPhone (free hand-me-down) which can never run the latest version of iOS, I don't want a smart watch let alone at the price Apple are asking, Metal on OS X is great news but I finally built myself a low-end Windows gaming PC and my music tastes are so far from mainstream that Apple music will probably be 99% useless (I'll check out the three free months to confirm that).
This is the first time in a decade that I feel like I wasted time watching a Keynote.
Is that the same kind of years that are used by a lot of other technological advances? Because if it is, we won't have commercially available self-driving cars before 2040.
And by then, I hope they're freakin' flying cars, too.
"Basically a manager's job is to make other people more productive. What's one really good way to do that? Do the work that is getting in their way. Which means: find out what kind of important work your developers dislike the most, and do it for them."
Developers hate commenting their code. So should the manager spend all their time doing that?

Ah ah ah, you didn't say the magic word!

Sorry if I have serious doubts.
And what the hell have you been doing for all these decades? Parking cars?!

And if someone can port Swift to Android, we'll finally have peace on Earth and the IPU will win the holy war against the infidels of the FSM.
Depends, what's the speed of Yosemite relative to Snow Leopard?

I'm not your guy, friend!
I'm perfectly okay with Windows for my games.
I'm perfectly okay with OS X for my work.
I'm perfectly okay with Linux for my servers.
Well, I can't end on such a non-conflicting note, can I? Xbox One and PS4 suck, Wii U* rules!
* nah, just kidding. MAME forever!
He was referring to me by replying to dblll?
I think you mean "In American society, violent murder is more socially acceptable for public consumption than nudity."
There's a lot of countries where nudity isn't such a big deal but violence is. Same thing with guns.
I quoted monkeyzoo and you think I was referring to dbIII?
If you're only getting paid 8 hours per day, you shouldn't do more than 8 hours per day.
