Yeah. Two months late. https://macviruscom.wordpress.com/2012/04/04/java-update-from-apple/

But Microsoft's hypervisor does not have that market share, even on Windows.

Me too. Unless they kill prisoners just to get their organs.

LLVM/Clang is a very interesting project, it's sad it's gaining traction because of GPLv3 haters/fanboys/etc. and not because of its qualities. I fear their actions might even harm it, i.e. users and developers could stop being interested in it being the better compiler as long as it's "more open" (lol).

I've used Windows, Linux (with pretty standard stuff like openbox, kwin, etc.) and Mac OS X. My experience of actually working with it was the worst on Mac OS. If I wanted a non-free OS, I would take the one that has more software and hardware support, and a reasonable UI, i.e. Windows.

I had pretty much the same experience as this guy: http://wanderingstan.com/2009-12-11/65-reasons-mac-sucks
So why do we see so much people telling us they LOOOVE their macs online? Stockholm syndrome.

But it will be cooler!

Your comment makes no sense.

You tell us your friends rave about the iPad, and have more than one (WTF).
Then you tell us you bought one and actually you don't have even used it yet, or didn't even tell us what you planned to use it for. Why event comment?
Then you tell us that it's "what most people need", except it is besides the point. It's not because it can fulfill most usages that is the what people will prefer, nor that it is the most efficient. And why would people would prefer a pricey, limited device when cheaper, powerful devices are available? And that was my point: people revert to using the better tools after a few months.
Then you tell us in the last part of your comment, which is more than the half of it, that you are sooo rich. Like someone would care.

It looks like you already feel stupid about your purchase. Congratulation, you're right on track for becoming a fanboy.

Except in that case most people will realize they don't have an use for one.
At least that's my experience of iPad users. Past the "it's so cool" period, they pretty much only use it in the toilet.
I don't think Apple will like this.

Product numbers are so 2011.
I have the new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new new iPad.

So why did Apple show their benchmark?

Thankfully, no serious projects are hosted on GitHub.

Unicomp sells one. It's almost the same.

Because NoSQL wasn't hipster enough.

And Nike, like Apple, definitely has enough sales margin to treat their workers better.

But then there's the other reason Apple is targeted: page views.

Given your multiple replies, you seem like a desperate fanboy too, willing to distort reality at any cost.
The story didn't have "a few posts", it had only one. And it's not the first time I see the same user, in a story just published, being the only comment with a +5.

I don't talk to fanboys, because they are incapable of logical reasoning. I actually enjoy this kind of troll stories, because fanboys are the number one argument against buying anything Apple. If Iever reply to a fanboy, it's for the other readers.

Hell, that's why my mom, who doesn't care at all about freedom or technical stuff, doesn't have a Mac: she told me they were so douchey and sectary and didn't want to be associated to them.
