Only on Slashdot can you get modded up for claiming an article slamming Apple is actually an ad for Apple.
... Karjaluoto doesn't recall many such changes that we didn't later look upon as the right choice....
The opinion of whether or not it was the right choice is severely clouded by the fact that in the Apple environment, there is No Choice. The user Has To go along with what Apple decides is The Future.
Yawn. Yeah, there were no external Floppy drives (which few people bought, and fewer used). There also were no external CD/DVD drives (which few people bought, and fewer used). You couldn't use CRT after Apple stopped selling them. And all those changes proved to be horrible for the user, because everybody but Apple still uses floppies and CRTs.
The thread is not about Yosemite, in case you have not noticed but about the new Maverick. Mac OS X 10!
So why exactly are we to take anything you say seriously?
Including things like their version of Androids Intents (that they call "extensions")....notifications pane from iOS (stolen from Android, natch)...
Right, so you're upset that Apple is using plugins, extensions, and notifications because all of those things were invented by Android developers. Sure.
You seem to have "accidentally" forgotten to quote the objectionable part:
However, since they come from iOS, they ["extensions"] only work with apps that are sold through the App Store.
Anything that "only works with... the App Store" (except maybe for updating the OS itself and first-party applications) is a problem, because it's a step towards locking out anything that circumvents the App Store.
You are right in so far as he should have totally focused on the part that absolutely isn't true and ignored the other things that aren't true either. Hunh?
A $30 cable, expensive Thunderbolt chipset, expensive peripherals, and you won't be getting actual 10 Gbps full duplex Ethernet through Thunderbolt, nor will it work a damn without an actual 10 Gbps Ethernet controller somewhere in the system. Keep on keepin' on, though.
Does being stupid come with being an Apple-Hater, or did you pay extra? http://www.macworld.com/articl...
Having a NO fucking brain necessitates being a Mac hater. If you think you're getting anything near the capabilities for full duplex 10 Gbps Ethernet over Thunderbolt without a true 10 Gbps Ethernet controller in the system, you're a damned fool. If you do have a 10 Gbps Ethernet controller in the system, just use it directly.
FTFY, and you just proved it. And you will never be able to tell, because you are so fucking stupid.

In case anyone doubts this: ratio of "normal" patients vs. infected healthworkers third world: ~ 10:1 Texas: 1:2
These things are evolutionary. The initial rate of patients to infected healthcare workers is much higher. The current 10:1 ratio in Africa is after all the healthcare workers using poor infectious disease protocols have been killed off by ebola. It's purely survival of the fittest. Same reason Cuba weathers hurricanes better than Louisiana did after Katrina. Cuba gets hit by several hurricanes every year, so any buildings which would been blown away, dams which would have failed, etc. have already done so long ago. The ones still standing remain because they are strong enough to survive a hurricane. Any government officials who were incompetent at post-hurricane recovery have long been filtered out. OTOH the previous major hurricane to hit Louisiana before Katrina was some 30 years ago. A lot of bad structures and incompetent officials can build up over 30 years.
So how come the rest of the US fares much better than Texas? There were 5 patients evacuated to the US so far, and nobody got infected. Hey, maybe it's not all of Texas but just this hospital - but they sure fucked up.
And, you fail to also read well documented fact that German solar capacity factor is less than 10% overall, equivalent of about 2.4 full sun hours. http://euanmearns.com/german-p...
That source makes a simple but fatal mistake (and probably on purpose): it divides total energy production over the year by the the installed capacity at the end of the year for an energy source with growing installed capacity.
Wrong, if Apple figures out how to make their products at 1/2 the cost, their prices will come down in order to gain new market share and make more money by selling more of their product while taking sales away from the competition.
Errm, so why don't they just do that now? Maybe because they already easily sell all the phones they can make, and making them at half the cost wouldn't allow them to make more?
Workers are paying taxes, so it is OK that their employer is not? WTF?
The alternative is "employers" not paying taxes, and neither the unemployed, because there are no fucking employers.You know, like it was before Ireland started optimizing their taxes.
A small reactor could power a U.S. Navy warship, and eliminate the need for other fuel sources that pose logistical challenges
A navy ship, what about a cruise liner? With cheap energy, you could process the deuterium from sea water for fuel, grow food in artificially lit enclosures below decks and have a self-sustaining artificial ecosystem that could spend years between trips to port.
How about a cargo ship. " In 1972, after four years of operation, her reactor was refuelled. She had covered 250,000 nautical miles (463,000 km) on 22 kilograms of uranium"
That's called 20/20 hindsight, Mr. Armchair Surgeon General. Had you been there, with a patient with the symptoms of some viral infection, I'd have liked to see you saying "of course it's Ebola!", when in reality, there are dozens of alternative diagnoses, many of them much more likely.
Yeah, why should a doctor suspect Ebola in an African patient, when at the same time whole planes went into full panic when somebody coughed.
You haven't been to a hospital recently have you? Doctors aren't like Dr. House. They aren't looking for zebras when 99.99% of their patients are horses. If you come in with a rare disease it can sometimes take years to get a proper diagnosis.
And yet they ask anyone but the African guy if they have been to other countries recently.
Not to mention that they hand out antibiotics like candy to people with unspecified symptoms - and then send them home. Understandable, because they can't keep him in emergency for ever, and there are no known problems with the overuse of the new Aspirin (facepalm).
