I still much prefer to isolate any AI features in his own app than having a unrestricted system wide AI cloud services on my devices.

At least you can save you investement while most router can be flashed with open source alternative like OpenWRT or PfSense. I'm much more worried about totally closed and always connected cars to mainlain China where consumers have absolutely no controle over softwares running on their car infotainment system.

This is absolutely a pay ads for brand. Besides, any products marketing pushing for bigger battery is flawed, it only serves to showed how unefficent you are compared to competitors. Apple has never disclosed battery capacity on their products because it can't be used metrics for comparing battery life.

This is BS, Mainland China, Iran and Italie doesn't have the same weather and yet the virus is propagating following the same grow rate.

IE on mac was a ugly mess and the reason that push Apple to create its own browser based on a then obscure renderer: KHTML which serve as base for Apple own Webkit and it's Google Fork: Chromium. Without IE mess and Apple losing patience, maybe Chrome will have come...

Huh? Ok, I'll follow your advise. How it will help from keeping apps from putting in their own crap there? like everything that launch at start?

I speak for my self, but like you I don't much about Microsoft spying my IP, but I care about being easy to modify and hiding a bug there for a malware. Still not such a big deal.

I rather have distinct DB with distinct level of permissions to isolate system-os config from users stuff and more than all, not a place for third party apps to have access to. The big mistake of the registry base is making it available to any apps, it should be strictly reserve for OS config stuff and user profile only.

What a moron... RTFM next time before being scandalize by something you don't understand. Since any software can modify the registry key on Windoze malware can place bug there.

Yet another interesting obscure registry key to target for spyware-malware... the registry database is source of all evil on Windows since his creation....

The format-reinstalle once a year process is true to Windows users since Windows 95. But I own Macs since my MacIIx w/ MacOS 6, and I never being forced to clean reinstall any of my computer since. I'm on the net since 1993 (yes this is before NCSA Mosaic), I've download so many stuff from the net thru FTP, NNTP, Gopher, and I never ever got any malware on my Macs. Windows is the absolute worst OS to maintain, give a windows machine to some kids, after a while so many trash will be installed you got to reinstall. All household Windows computer i've seen is become unusable with all crapware like search bars and emoticon.

What a shocking news.... How do you thing Find my iPhone service is working?

You're wrong about everything. How you can say Windows is open??? Can you name me one open source component of Windows? Does Microsoft give their dev tool for free? MacOS X Is OpenSource like linux, if you code for X11 that come on the Mac, like you need to do on Linux, every API you will work with will be open source. Only the GUI is copyrighted and the devtool is totally free and come on the install disk that come with the computer. So cut your opensource crap, and coding license that doesnt existe on the MacOS X. Yes you need a licences for selling iPhone software, but you can code-test-deploy you own software on you mac-iphone-ipod-ipad without paying anything to anyone.

It will never come. DirectX was made by M$ to kill SGI and OpenGL all together. Everything as been settle when Microsoft bought Bungie 2 week after showing an OpenGL version of Halo at the Mac World keynotes.
