Agreed, it's easy to forget (~10 years ago) how anti-consumer and rent-seeking Verizon's behavior consistently was. Their phones didn't use J2ME apps, only the proprietary Qualcomm BREW, and apps could only come from their ow

Unfortunately the issue has no log of communications with Microsoft, this is something we usually see in P0 issues from taviso and others. Not sure why it isn't included in this case.

They still release "out-of-band" patches for critical security bugs. There was one a few days ago for Flash Player that presumably would have been in February's patch bundle but was too important to wait for the next one.

I believe Apple requires CarPlay radios to provide wheel speed and compass readings (along with GPS) to the iPhone, and it gets used by CoreLocation to report location to apps.

For everyone who wants Apple to bring back an expandable machine like the old Mac Pro with dual CPUs, PCIe slots and SATA bays, I think this is the best plausible scenario. I still don't think it'll happen though, and even if it d

You cut the quote off too early, I think they should have sample code in ObjC rather than Swift

by mrpippy 10y ago
I think his main complaint is that Apple should stop publishing sample code (which they update sporadically at best) in Swift when the language is changing so much. At WWDC this year I believe virtually all code shown on screen was Swift, b

Agreed, I think the writing was on the wall for CodeWarrior from the day OS X came out. Apple was vendor-neutral regarding development tools for the entire classic Mac era: yes they sold MPW, but Universal Interfaces, SDKs, documentation we

CodeWarrior is readily available from abandonware sites, and can be used inside 10.5/10.6 on VMware Fusion if you don't have any PPC hardware around. Older versions of Xcode (2.x) can then import CW projects, you can swap in open-
