Oh I'm not talking about bugs but most the GUI and other things. The counter-intuitive flat UI comes to mind, removing features from software "just because". Hiding feathers without any hint on how to access them (ex: older but still supported graphic file formats when saving with Preview hidden from the pull-down menu). But the biggest problem right now is APFS, which is quite critical.
I like your idea but I would add blockchain micro-payments using one of the more serious crypto-currency, which is Dogecoin. Let's patent together - I'll split the profit with both of you 50/50/75.
There's also the security level of each of these vulnerabilities.
You could have a system with 1000 weak vulnerabilities and yet still be more secure than another system with only 1 vulnerability that's extremely dangerous.
I disagree on the trapezoidal look vs straight line. I'm looking at the tabs in Safari 9, which uses a bit of shadow between the tabs to give them a slight 3D look, and that makes it easy to see each tab as its own.
The problem is not trapezoidal look vs straight line. Once again, the problem is like all recent UI problems: the flat GUI phase of designers. I don't know where or why this shit started but I wish one company would put its foot down and throw away all this flat bullshit.
There's a difference between physical ownership and digital ownership.
Let's take a 256GB USB flash drive as an example. It takes the same room and weights the same thing wether it's empty or filled with books, music, TV shows and movies.
It's not very expensive to distribute and advertise music.
If it was very expensive to distribute music then it would also be very expensive to send HTML, CSS, Javascript, JPEGs and PNGs.
As for advertising, it depends on how and where you advertise. It's also less required than a decade ago since whatever platform you use, you get recommendations depending on what you bought before. That's free, targeted advertising.
The big problem with using landscape monitors in portrait orientation is that the sub-pixel anti-aliasing doesn't work correctly anymore. I'm not even sure you get vertical anti-aliasing when rotating a monitor (does any OS supports it?). Even if you do, anti-aliasing is needed horizontally.
This is part of why I don't want to buy a MacBook. What I want is the old Apple aluminium 101 keys wired keyboard, on a laptop. At the very least, give me proper arrow keys, proper home/end/page up/page down keys, damnit!

Actually he should not have waited this long. Things have gotten pretty bad recently.
The more bullshit Microsoft adds to Windows, the more SteamOS become a better alternative.
SteamOS won't waste the CPU and RAM of my PC running useless bullshit like Cortana, Skype, telemetry, etc.

Oh, please. People with tentacles do not work for Apple as lawyers. They work in Japan, in the anime hentai porn industry.
The problem is that a lot of people seem to think that "old equals bad" so they keep trying to change things, even those things are already perfect.
Safari still looks like a web browser.
"People should learn while using"
If someone thinks that, they fail at UI design before even starting.
Vertical sides takes less room, which means sometimes older is better.

I only listen to independent artists and believe me they are NOT paying for those placements.
I "own" the music in the way that I can do whatever I want as long as it's for myself, i.e. I cannot upload it, use it commercially, etc.
But I still own it, compared to someone who's paying a monthly fee and can see the music disappear from the library without warning.

The problem is, once x% of the population does something, it's easier for governments to push laws that requires you to do it, too.
Extra bonus points if you can get John Cleese to be the narrator.
That would make a great mockumentary.

According to RIAA logic used in lawsuits, without piracy revenues should have been $30 vigintillion.
That's a bad thing because it requires you to pay a fee that will never end for both your music and your connection.
If I pay 99 cents to get a tune and put it on my iPod shuffle, it's mine forever.
In a few years, will they stop selling music and go streaming-only?

How about putting the display on a pivot, like on desktop monitors?
Pull the monitor up, rotate it, push it back down.
