I didn't think there were people that really tried to defend the imperial system on anything but familiarity. not very happy of having been proved wrong.

That could have been the Intel transition but, although announced in 2005, the first Intel Macs were actually available in 2006.

You keep being needlessly harsh and bitter, that’s not exactly something that invites me to continue a conversation.

Strawman. They may not be scientific (statistics is a science, btw), but they are one way we have to infer whether people hate an app or not, which was the topic of this branch of the conversation.

Why so angry? Google's current iOS apps are great, the previous releases, the ones with heavy HTML use, were definitely not. I don't think they would be shocked by this, a guess supported by the fact that they have new, completely different

Why do we see plenty of articles saying that HTML5 can be as good or better than native code and no actual applications doing it? Facebook and Google tried and miserably failed, LinkedIn and Twitter are probably the ones closest to actually

so you are disgusted by something that may or may not exist? CVE is public and collects both patched and unpatched known vulnerabilities reported by vendors and independent parties.

doesn't seem a situation so dire that it warrants being disgusted to the point of installing wine to me. http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=apple+coregr... no vulnerabilities in 2012, one in 2011 and two in 2010.

I don't understand this often repeated argument. Apple didn't suddenly appear with a million customers/fans, they started from zero.

what proprietary encoding? Instagram photos are JPEG, they disabled embedding them through HTTP.

Having taught Git to a number of people, I disagree that it’s easily understandable. It’s easy to understand the general idea of how it works, but actually productively using it is an entirely different matter. Of course, I may also be a te

Subversion is really simple too: it only has files and directories, branches are directories, tags are directories. I don’t think stupid and simple worked very well in that case. Arguments can be made for both sides, picking a single design

Unnecessarily harsh response to a good point. Network effect: many many people pick git because everyone else uses it (and that’s a good reason), thus they never try Mercurial, which may or may not be better suited to their use case.

the App Store has that (in the form "was this review useful?") and reviews are still worthless for the most part.

The ecosystem is the www, not Javascript and HTML, so those are all tweaking and extending the ecosystem. The moment somebody writes the first Dart or NaCl based website or the first Pepper plugin, the world sees yet another (not the first)
