Replied to fast... "legal" in this case probably means contract law. ie they are constrained by existing contracts and other legal obligations to exercise resonable and well documented security practices.
I realize this is not the case in your basement/attic/living room/bedroom.
You sound really smart!
You don't.
For example financial institutions cannot expose themselves to the risks related to running internet-facing operating systems for which there are no security fixes.
However, no worries since Apple products aren't often found in offices that can afford a cleaning person.
The double think required to put that sentence together must have caused irreperable harm.
(I'm not taking you seriously, however do note that organizations like IBM and Adobe have apps in the Appstore, how do you think they were produced? By fairies sprinkling pixey dust over raw source code?)
Who cares, really? Normally, I should be excited by this set of announcements, but I'm not now. Why? Because Apple is complicit in the largest expansion of government surveillance power in my lifetime... that we know of, at least. (That is, unless you believe their technicality-laden denial with wording nearly identical to several other of the named companies.) Every desktop, laptop, tablet, smartphone, and personal music player currently in my household is an Apple product, but until we get this sorted out, I'm not buying any more of their gear. And I'm recommending that family and friends do the same.
FFS, this stuff is not new, the allies have been doing active SigInt for decades, you just noticed?

Like that, only more cylindrical.
Apple needs a mini + with a good desktop cpu and a good (can be build video chip) may be at $800-$1200 as I see the new mac pro at $2,500-$3,000 base.
I agreed with a similar comment elsewhere. There's a clear hole between mini and pro that's orthagonal to the macbook.
Bringing iBooks to the MacOS is good.
I was a little surprised by this since I have a mac and an ipad and a bunch of free books in iBooks. I had simply never noticed before that I can't actually read those books on the mac.
This is probably because I use the Kindle bookstore instead since they're cheaper on average. (Or were when I checked last...)
Kind of amusing that the Kindle book reader has been available for years for OSX.
While I agree with about 90%, it does depend on how you define "game".
Given that you can get better framerates doing OpenGL in Java now than you could 15 years ago in C, it's really not that simple.
You just sound bitter and old..
... and right.
Didn't I warn you about the lawn already?
I'm fucked. I use tcsh on my *nix boxes and now my employer is moving to Lotus Notes and I have to move all the Exchange shit over to Domino and join it to the French company that bought us.
I am told by those who know more than me that Domino is actually pretty good, it's the client that sucks dead dingo kidneys. However, the Exchange to Domino migration has been known to trigger a wide variety of psychological and medical disorders.
My one and only open source project got forked after I stopped maintaining it.
There's just nothing more frustrating then tcsh.
You have clearly never been forced to use Lotus Notes.
I write some code but my credits are all in IMDB you insensitive clod. ( nm1487742 )
So if we just showed up at WETA could we get a tour of the render farm?
My 2011 Mini is more powerful than my 2005 Mac Pro. There aren't many people who need a desktop computer with more guts than the Mac Mini.
They currently max out at 16GB of RAM and have an Intel graphics chip.
There are a lot of people for whom that is a show stopper, yet don't want to dish out over $2000 for a mac pro.
But the only thing between the mini and the pro is the macbooks.
Something about the size of a Shuttle but with the expected Apple quality and slightly more flexability for parts and priced at say twice the price of a mini would prevent me from having to solve that equation with a PC.
But I couldn't find the MacBook Pro running Windows 8 via Boot Camp.
Get your dirty hands off my macbook!
(It's for testing, it's the only Windows 8 install I have, I swear!)
