None. It's just by controlling the hardware to a limited set of hardware, they can control the errors that they will have and build their SDK for a specific set of instructions. Windows on the other hand has to support a million different varieties of hardware setups with software and as a result can have stability issues across different setups. Windows could have the same stability of Mac if they built their own boxes too and geared the OS toward that specific hardware configuration.
So mac owners own more computers and computers of various platforms? Logically this leads one to believe that Mac owners are more computer literate and proficient than the average Windows user. Of course i expect some to mark this as a troll.
Well you seem to be implying a client-server architecture in which client side code cannot be implemented because java is not supported. Well over 90% of systems support Java; more than support.NET according to recent stats. So I doubt that is a problem to uptake of an application. But if that's your only excuse, it is a feeble one.
How is this specific to MVC or Java? What does this have to do with anything? Are you under the incorrect assumption that Java frameworks use bytecode to render their view? Are you confusing client side and server side code?
Well I doubt many people expect reading comprehension amongst retards to be high especially when the original author wrote that they had problems with Eclipse on Mac, Linux and Windows and the retort was to imply that they just could not install correctly because they were retarded.
Maybe you could get someone at your special school to help explain this all to you. Perhaps the bus driver on your short bus.
Ah the response of a true retard. A love of VB and a 'yo momma joke'. No wonder you couldn't install Eclipse. I'm amazed you can even boot into your Windows box.
Ah I see, your retardation has made it so you think that the warning that says 'not for retards' means that this somehow means that it sucks rather than anyone but a retard can understand it and how to install it. Of course this is understandable since you are a retard. Being slow is in your nature. How's that Visual Basic treating you?
Untrue. Game developers now work on Mac (10% of the market, 15-20% of home and school markets), iPhone/iPod and Windows. Warcraft is Developed on Windows and Mac and they even have an internal version that works on Linux but Blizzard has publicly stated they won't release because they dont believe there is much of a market.
Aside from that, while most people like to use games as an example, they are not the main reason to be cross platform in your development. Offices, schools and governments often need to deploy software that will run on all platforms and don't want to try to cobble together a solution to run on all three. Their purchasing decision will take into consideration all their users and whatever is cross platform prior to having to purchase additional licenses and antivirus to run VNC (which raises software costs and support costs even further).
And while you think you don't run that much Java, you'd be surprised how much you actually have running in the background at times and what software has Java frontends with C backends or vice versa (like Eclipse for example).
Right and both are points that can be argued against:
1) Write once, deploy everywhere is a concept that game developers (and all other software developers) would LOVE especially once their products have to be deployed on multiple platforms. The ignorance of forcing people to your platforms language (or version of C) is arrogance and ignorance that has shown not to succeed unless you have a monopoly.
2) Swing does look crappy on Apple but thats why they had the Cocoa Bridge for java... and thats why they killed the Cocoa bridge. Because they didn't want people programming and deploying in Java. They make it as hard as possible for your java apps to fit into the Apple model as possible.
Yes. That was my bitch once I picked up the apple as a laptop. Apple really seems to hate Java; they dropped the java bridge for Cocoa (but left it for all other languages including Ruby), they maintain the JVM separate and don't update it or patch it as they need to and many other issues. Yeah I have to say it seems like Apple hates Java.
All the Java developers at my work used Apple and I found this odd. When I asked one, they mentioned that it was built on BSD so they could use shell commands that they were used to on other Unix based systems. My wife had one and is a system administrator and found it very easy to VNC, SSH and manage most of her servers from her Macbook Pro.
I gave it a shot and have been able to do Objective C, Mono development, LAMP dev and just about everything without any problems. There effectively is not any language or environment that is left out and Eclipse and Subversion work as great as they do on my Linux box.
WTF?!! Yes... I do alot of surfing while on my roof installing antennaes. LOL.
Seriously though, the connection goes through windows not covered with aluminum oxide and other holes in your barrier. No house will ever be a complete faraday cage and for something like this, all you have to do is eliminate a large percentage of them to reduce the bounce so as to make the 'shapes' it reports back too vague. In other words... it would be less of a faraday cage and more like 'chafe' to cause interference.
Employee taxes? In Washington State? Well then they would be the first. We don't pay state income tax. In other words they are getting a double skate; no taxes for incorporating here and no employee tax. I'd be pissed if I were the state too. Hell, I live in Washington and think Microsoft is ripping us off on a daily basis (for a variety of reasons).
here at my work, management makes 'plug and play' purchasing decisions; they just want to but something and plug it in. It doesn't matter that their are open source alternatives that can save them thousands of dollars a year. It doesn't matter that these may be better or better tested. They feel like they will have to rely upon internal staff to support these tools and they would rather be able to contract out support.
They fail to understand how IT works and how the people who work for them work on a day to day basis. In their world's, everything would be perfect if everything ran under a GUI, was automated and supported outside the company. These are the things that define 98% of managers buying decisions.
Sounds to me like you already have a conclusion and are coloring the article with your opinion. If the entire world feels that Apple has a better designed product, better design specs and a better understanding of design in comparison to other OS manufacturers, what does that say about how they are doing their job? It means they understand their audience and thereby designing for their audience.
As I stated, it seems you are the one coming to the conversation with a predetermined opinion. They just are laying providing an analysis of what a vast majority of tech insiders and consumers already feel when looking at their products side by side.
Oh please. Microsoft is like a marketplace while Apple is a communist state. I like my iphone but frankly its lock in hell if you dont jailbreak it.
Hello Mr Pot? This is Mr Kettle calling.
If you actually gave a shit about lock-in, you'd be talking about the virtues of Linux... not Windows. Besides, at least with Mac, I can get to the underlying BSD backend and the actual code behind the machine. On Windows you have to wait until 'Mr Bill' gets off his ass to fix it. So don't try to claim lock-in is the problem with Mac's because Windows has more lock-in than anyone.
To me, the entire article strikes me as having been written this way: Apple's site is better than Microsoft's. I wonder why?
Nothing to wonder about. Because Apple understands design and focuses on it. The have GUI design docs and the follow them and enforce them stringently. Windows and Microsoft isn't about design; they are about marketing and mass consumption. They are Wal-Mart. And have you been inside a Wal-mart lately?
It's only ideology if you are looking at it from a 'religious' perspective when viewing that question rather than a support question as to whether they support open standards and formats. In which case, you project your own ideology onto the question.
Is the want to configure your own system an ideology? People can tinker with their cars, their refrigerators, their eletrical, their plumbing, do their own carpentry, etc. This doesn't seem to be an ideology as much as the way we currently live. I should be able to call a generic contractor and they should be abl to come over and fix my system based upon a standard set of protocol that all systems use and he should be able to fix it (as I should be able to) because the system is open and configurable.
If this is a ideology, then it is the ideology that the human race has stuck to for the majority of its existence and we merely demand it to continue.
Gotta say I agree. Some tests I took used outdated methods/functions or approaches and when I answered using more up to date versions of the language or taking into consideration corrections or work-arounds that only a seasoned pro would know, it was considered wrong. The best way to have someone 'tested' is the have them solve a problem in front of another developer; have them step through it, explain themselves, answers questions, etc. A test does not answer what I need to know about that person nor does it explain what I want you to know about me.

Yeah, think it says in the doc notes 'not for retards' so that sort of explains your problem there.

However you can always install alternative JVM's
All the Java developers at my work used Apple and I found this odd.

Don't need to see through walls when your outside... duh!
