Most, perhaps, if we're talking about the whole set of apps on the App Store. But I think it's very likely that the vast majority of very popular, "use 20 times a day" apps will be 64-bit very soon.

About electronics and low-level software, probably so. About nearly any other topic, almost surely not.

I assume the image of the micro-vial balanced on a fingertip is meant to illustrate how small the quantity of blood is, but, at least for me, the initial evocation is of drawing blood from beneath the fingernail.

By default it only warns if the app is unsigned.

I'm not sure why you think I have no real architectural details. What do you know about what I know? Regardless, I think your pedantry is based on a statement I intended to be read in a less formal fashion than you're choosing to

by glhaynes 13y ago
The discussion was around architecture. Of course it may not behave as intended when actually implemented because of bugs. Or because of Apple outright lying in their communications. Sure, those are possibilities, but they're irrelevan

To my understanding, Android offers something similar and also allows apps to wake up arbitrarily in the background. Reasonable people can disagree on whether the latter ought to be an option or not (or, perhaps even more reasonably, can

As has been pointed out elsewhere in this thread, it's not exactly the same: iOS is still much more strict about what runs and when. Apps get woken up only when the system decides to wake them up, and it decides based on current batter

There's a sleep slider. I bet it fires the "clamshell closed" event.

Any idea why this is? I think I remember seeing some WebGL security concerns back when it was first getting going, but I assume those have been mitigated by now. I guess it's just Safari being behind on implementation?

Power Nap is meant to do this - keep stuff syncing, backing up, etc regardless of lid state. Now, whether it's smart enough to flush any synchronizations that are still in progress when the lid is closed or you have to wait a few minut

"If Steve were still around..." has been said so many times that it's a cliche. Steve shipped lots of crap [quantifiable crap, even]; I'm sure Apple will continue to ship lots of crap in the future. Doesn't mean the

The modified headline (currently "Sayonara, V8") made me think this was a post announcing Google's abandonment of the V8 engine (and thus presumably introducing or specifying a replacement).

Is there evidence for this? Is there a better battery tech the entire industry should be using instead? Seems unlikely.
828.
by glhaynes 13y ago
I believe Apple charges $199 for a battery replacement, which is definitely not cheap, but might be worth it if you were still happy with the rest of the machine. I'm not sure how long it takes them to do it, though. I'd expect th

Been a while since I saw it, but I believe they only mentioned something like that there would be "a new release of iWork this year". No specifics about how major it'll be (still "iWork '09"?) or whether that w

Don't do that. Criticize people on their work, not on their personal attributes.

If crap design like JSON is the right engineering choice sometimes (and I agree that it is), that seems like an argument that adding comments in this crappy way may sometimes be the right engineering choice.
