You have some good points, however Apple has allowed (even if temporarily) third-parties to exist on the periphery to fill-in solutions. TarSnap, SpiderOak One and BackBlaze all seem like viable options. Perhaps even Carbonite too.

I think the bigger priority should be stop adding features / taking away the ones we use for a UI refresh, and spend some serious time fixing their giant, growing backlog of bugs. macOS and iOS/iPadOS are progressively getting wor

Intel is lagging behind AMD. If anything, Apple should jump ship for AMD and not have to screw-over their entire install-base and everyone's software and hardware investments. Going to ARM would be extremely stupid... an iPad isn'

Exactly. Good control UX should be very liberal in what it accepts and normalize it to whatever form they want. Same goes with editing, it should allow temporary invalidity (extra or fewer digits) turn red/disable submit and then retur

What the Discovery channel, I mean ArsTechnica, calls "science" shall not be questioned! ;) Also it has "Royal Society" in the paper so it has carte blanche to pick seemingly frivolous topics if they have merit. Furtherm

Individual initiative doesn't go very far because business isn't a worker's meritocracy. What would go further would be you and your coworkers walking out until your colleague gets a raise. Watch how fast it happens.

The "big idea" folks typically go further by treating their ideas like their offspring and insulate critiques of those ideas from the big, scary world of reality. Also, making an analogy to "cattle" sends the wrong messa

Carmack described the wantrepreneur. Beware the "idea guy," find the head-down guy or gal who is smart and a workaholic; people who tend to work more than socialize, fall in love with ideas and talk about work that they're no

Why don't they host it themselves in a colo? Doing like Netflix did by paying AWS millions is wasteful and insane when managed colo is cheaper and self-managed colo is cheaper still. ByteMark.co.uk and pair.com are both great vendors t

Well, some other people in the comments disagree. And it hasn't happened yet, but it's the way they don't manage / integrate acquisitions very well unless they're wowie complementary products like Visio. Danger dr

And it's not a defensible business model because anyone can start such a company with very little expenses. I remember using waitersonwheels.com in the mid 90's and it wasn't any better than what's available now. Also, I

It's difficult/impossible to put a specific probability (which would be an oxymoron) on any one particular person dying. The somewhat vague risk factors take time to accumulate from statically-larger samples if there were more dea

I think their over-reaction is hilarious. Language and UX are important. English words have different meanings to different people in different parts of the world, so it's important to localize to the various regions by using slightly

Holy mackerel's ghost. That's mighty damn impressive. More skills I will never have, like penmanship and singing. Give me about a week, and I'll have a red square and a blue circle aligned.
