Did you miss the part where they indicated that Messages was the most used app on iOS? Why would they abandon that experience for their customers and leave it up to a 3rd party to control?

You'd be surprised to learn how many CATs and so on are rented not owned. United Rentals seems to do well renting equipment out.

Developers were free to set whatever price they chose and free seemed to be the price settled. A bed was made. This bed worked worked out well for IAP driven consumer apps but not so great for less disposable software.

I don't think Adobe supports CS6 anymore, but it sure looks like the desktop platform supports it even when the developer doesn't.

What's the alternative, users wait for some porting house to finally get around to releasing an update to be compatible? Oh, you don't have it in your contract to do that work, and the parent company isn't keen to pay you to

Agree that it doesn't seem like Apple is seriously interested in touching desktop gaming. On one hand, thats probably not a bad idea. Look at the scaling on mobile GPUs vs desktop GPUs and the revenues in both. They are so far behind

Hypervisor.framework would need to support it as well, not sure if it does. It just in 10.11.5 got better support for USB.

I think thats mostly an illusion, and the costs for that "last mile" of quality is huge. Think of it this way, if the software works for 99.9% of people, that's still 800k people that can experience undesired behavior. You he

Oddly enough, I prefer the IRC channels I frequent to not be logged, just like the conversation I'm having at the corner coffee shop (probably) isn't logged beyond the ears of those who hear it. To me it helps create more of a com

As if your everyday person is capable of verifying or validating or even making these decisions if left to them. I work in tech and I wouldn't feel comfortable making all those decisions.

Your definition of good and mine clearly differ. As has been noted, Metal existed and shipped before Vulkan, yet you claim they are using all its ideas in their own lock in variant. Multiple people have mentioned in this thread how engine

As though its of no cost to Apple to make Metal available on every platform, or support other products on their platforms? Not every decision has to be filled with malice, sometimes it just makes sense.

Care to actually list that? I find that incredibly hard to believe. While there may be a list of 5-10 features that meet the criteria, seems like most OS releases have hundreds of improvements here & there. All of Apple is just sitting

Technology goes really fast. 20 years is insane, I'm not sure I'd bet a technology business on where we'd be in 20 years. 5 seems risky but worth thinking through. Probably not worth planning for except in the most abstract
