Yep, Apple Killed The CD Today
- code_duck 16y agoUrgh, MG Siegler, Techcrunch, their headlines... No, the CD has been killed by obsolescence, not by Apple. I have used an optical drive on any of my three computers exactly twice in the past year.
- phreeza 16y agoThe headline is hideous I agree, but the point holds... the floppy was obsolescent for a while but apple gave it the final push, might well be that they do it for the optical disc, too.
- zbanks 16y ago"Plenty of companies have tried Internet distribution for a long time. Some have success, and some don’t. But none have the type of central repository that Apple is offering here. This is going to be huge." What about pretty much every linux package manager ever? Heck, the Ubuntu Software Center even looks nice.
