You say open source, but then your singular example is an open standard.
Jobs was a great man in may ways, including very often his impulses. But in this case they let him down. He made a unilateral decision just before the keynote to make it an open standard. What he didn't realise was that there were licensed patents in use which meant they couldn't do that.
In the case of Swift, this has been in discussion in the Swift team for months, and the announcement was made by a member of the team. It's a done deal.
They've released plenty of open source before. Your impression of past performance is illusory.
Look you mental midget, you don't seem to realise that iOS is the biggest games platform there is. All from treating games as just another category of apps.
If you're whining about stuff not being open source was real, you'd have taken the opportunity to congratulate Apple today for making Swift open source. But you haven't. Because you don't really care, it's just something you whine about.
Certainly not the ones here. They're mostly haters without rationality. Doesn't matter what Apple does - they are successful so they need to be attacked.
Of course for app portability you'd need to write the equivalent of Cocoa Touch for Android. And the equivalent of all the other frameworks too.

Haven't experienced any of the defects described. But I have experienced flakiness with WiFI. And that has been addressed by going back to the pre Yosemite connection demon.

Swift 2: Get me a version where I can make apps in Windows or Linux too... Otherwise OK that is fine, but staying to one
Swift 2 CAN make apps for Linux. Apple's releasing the compiler and the standard libraries for Linux.
And as its open source, someone can do the same for Windows. Given Microsoft's recent moves I wouldn't be surprised it Microsoft themselves port it.
This is the big news for Slashdotters from this years WWDC.
It doesn't seem like any sort of of difficult problem. The speech recogniser will initially have a phonetic spelling. That can map to both waze and ways, and the specific one doesn't have to be finalised until the meaning of the entire sentence is being analysed.
Hmm I thought apple received billions in revenue from defaulting search to google
I've no idea, and neither do you. But it's clear that Apple are currently only using Google as the default for browser searches because the public expect it. Google is the world's favourite web search engine.
But Apple's every move is away from offering Google's services. Where it used to be the only supported search engine you can now select others. And their other major search app-Siri dropped Google as it's underlying search engine 2 years ago.
And of course Apple completely replaced Google Maps with their own version to end Google's snooping on where iPhone users are.
Then stop electing the ones that are not there to help "us". A good rule of thumb is that if they have (REP) next to their name they are not there to help "us" but to help coorporations. Not all the ones with (DEM) next to their name are there to help "us" either. But the chances are a hell of a lot higher.

Indeed. It's not supposed to be a cross platform tool.
But it is the answer to what whiners like you were claiming was the problem until today. That Swift was an Apple only language, and not open source.
But of course because your complaint wasn't real, you've changed what your whining about now.
Clearly you don't get it sonny, if you don't understand that a game is just a category of app.
You must have missed Metal.
Compared to what? Android is up to release M. So that's 13 versions and it's not been out as long as iOS.
And of course it's even more complicated with Android due to all the fragmentation.
What does that even mean? Games are just a category of app, nothing more nothing less. And Apple cares about apps a lot.
Fucking cry-baby.
The "Process" for a development device (one that gets the app automatically when you hit compile in XCOde.
1 - Add the device ID to your developer profile.
2 - Ensure that your app set to the "auto" profile. As it will be anyway for new apps.
That's it.
For beta testers, you can have 1000 of them, and you don't need their device IDs or Apple IDs. Just their email address.
Certainly not the ones here. They're mostly haters without rationality. Doesn't matter what Apple does - they are successful so they need to be attacked.

The name of the technology makes no difference to how complicated the UIs are.
"Widgets" is less use as it's not specific to watch face enhancements. "Complications" are.
Did I just witness the passing of the Turing Test?! ;-)

If you're basing it on spelling you'd do somewhat better using words with a 'z' rather than an 's'. Like haze, maze, raze or taze.

I'm glad you are beginning to see you don't know everything. Next stop, the scientific method...

Wrong. Read some Shakespeare, moron.
No, I'm positing that your wife is doing lots of video calls to her lover that you don't know about.
And that as well as being a cuckold, you don't understand the scientific method.
