A small sampling, but their reasons for supporting Trump just show how little they know about why they're in their current situation / what electing Trump could possibly change for them. It's simultaneously sad and infuriatin

This should never happen until the web radically changes. I'm fine with the "web" being the future if it can provide truly native experiences. It simply can't do that now. 1. People aren't downloading apps because t

When I was a sysadmin intern at my college in New York, I worked on these systems daily. We also had a very close partnership with IBM since we're located in the same city as HQ.

TLDR: It's not integrated as well as on the new Mac, as usual in the PC world.

I cringed when Microsoft did it. Apple has been doing stuff like this for years. Accessibility has been at the core of the company since the 90s. Just look at all the accessibility meet ups, workshops, and presentations were given at this y

Without the swift standard library, what can be done? Doesn't the standard library include all of the basic types, like Array, Int, etc?

Does it matter if you considered it cheating or not? You augmented the main, core part of the game to make it easier to catch pokemon. That sounds like some form of cheating to me.

I'm certain that if you are really honest with yourself, you'll agree that the "malicious" practices you point out are entirely different - not even comparable - to the security negligence pointed out in the OP. When I b

It's most useful implementation is peek and pop, to preview something without committing to going into that screen. That's nothing like right click. The only place it's at all similar to right click is on the home screen, and

Absolutely wrong. Nothing is breaking. Apple simply rejected an app / an update to give the developer a chance to fix the issue that could break at some point in the future.

Well, that's what happens when you don't write native apps.

That's awesome. Any additional info on this topic?

What? The UI is totally fine. Just because it's a grid of photos doesn't mean it's just "an iOS app shoehorned onto OS X." The app is written from the ground up for OS X. It's not just some basic half assed por

For me, owning a Mac has a much lower cost of ownership in terms of time. I boot up the computer and it's ready to go. I don't need to reinstall the OS or download an uninstaller to remove bloatware. I don't need to install a

Just because you can type "sudo" on both doesn't make them similar when it comes to making GUI applications. Again, the frameworks are completely different, meaning that a complete or nearly complete rewrite would be necessar

OS X and Linux are not the same OS. The entire stack for writing GUI applications is completely different - as different as writing an iOS app vs. an Android app. OS X and Linux don't share the same kernel, the same foundation framewor

How do they spy on you? There's no suspicious network traffic leaving my Mac. They might collect info about Siri queries or downloaded apps, but they're certainly not logging keystrokes from OS X or iOS.

When was there ever an event where people were cheering that hard for Steve Jobs? It's moments like the one seen at the end of this trailer that detract from the historical accuracy of the film.

Considering OS X can run on regular old Intel PCs (including the Surface 2!), I'm going to guess that they just have a rock solid, low latency solution, and not something tied to a specific platform.

Good animations should draw the user's attention to certain things. If everything animates arbitrarily, it just becomes a distraction.

How could it possible know about all of that room geometry. Also, how is this better than playing a game using VR without AR? Why would I want to play in my office or home when the game could make its own level...

What a fantastic example of the wrong way to use animations.
