Mac button, not Macbook, but you already knew that.
Open standards are good. And we should want them to win, because it provides a safe haven from the abuses of big corporations. And I think right now, Apple is stepping into those waters: they are holding back web standards in order to keep promoting their business, which is reliant on native apps.
- scarface74 9y agoOpen standards aren't "good" if they provide an inferior user experience.
- realusername 9y agoThey only provide inferior user experience because Safari mobile is crap.
- scarface74 9y agoRight, because computing is full of cross platform frameworks that you can write once and run anywhere and have as great of an experience as native apps - look how great Java and Swing were.
- realusername 9y agoJava powers Android so it seems to work. Also web apps seem to work on Android as well, it's only on iOS that you have this kind of issues.
- scarface74 9y agoAndroid uses the Java language on top of Google's non cross platform framework. That's completely different than using Java with Swing. An Android app is not cross platform. Web apps on Android May "work" but still aren't as responsive as native Android apps.
