I don't know why I'm bothering to respond to such an idiotic statement but:
1) Apple is a huge contributor to open source (WebKit, LLVM, OpenCL, GCD, LaunchD, ZeroConf, CUPS just to name a few).
2) Given how much of a sad joke "Linux on a Laptop" still is to this day Apple is the only provider of UNIX laptops and huge popular amongst developers including Linus himself.
- rednukleus 14y agoTo point out the most obvious flaw in your rude and ill informed comment, Linus doesn't use OS X on his MBA, he uses "a sad joke" as you put it. So do a lot of developers.
- ricardobeat 14y agoHe meant something like "linux-compatible laptops", no word about OSX.
- rednukleus 14y agoThen he would still be completely wrong. Thinkpads are as good as Macs, and run Linux just fine.
- 1SaltwaterC 14y agoI'm actually typing these from my MBA. However, the article only talks about iOS which kinda is the opposite of OSS. News flash: it is a totally closed ecosystem. Without jailbreak, you're pretty much at the mercy of the mighty grey apple. Besides, outside of Apple, please point something that actually uses GCD, launchd, and their actual implementation of ZeroConf.
