As someone who uses Mac Minis for servers the biggest reason is value. I can fit 2 Mac Minis in a 1RU. And that is a Core i7, 16GB, 2xSSD which is about 20-30x faster than what Amazon, Rackspace offers for the same price. Now throw in the f

Firstly, the car companies have been shipping for the last few years many of the key systems of an autonomous car. Even some of the cheapest cars can self park and auto brake in the event of an impending collision. Adding more sensors and b

Sure but you can just defer to the OS for the bulk of those services e.g. CoreGraphics, DirectWrite etc.

No. Apple should take every competitor seriously no matter how insignificant. The rest of us however shouldn't. And we are talking about hardware here. They have consistent failures in shipping hardware.

You do realise that Google didn't invent self driving cars and that they aren't even leading the industry. Mercedes Benz demoed the technology nearly 20 years ago and will be shipping cars along with Audi, Volvo etc en masse over the coming

Don't forget that they acquired YouTube, Maps, Picasa, Android and Chrome is a wrapper around WebKit.

I think Apple should take every competitor seriously and I am sure they do. My point is that Google has a history of being unable to ship anything properly. And until we see them do so and with a sizable profit margin then they shouldn't be

The premise is pretty stupid. Firstly Apple does do services. They run the world's biggest media store, the world's biggest syncing platform and a semi popular email service. Sure they aren't perfect but they can be considered successes for

Anecdote is not the plural of data. If you don't have some correlation coefficient between working from home and lack of productivity then your entire argument is moot. My point with open source software is that there are plenty of facts on

Sorry but have you EVER worked at a large company before ? Because none of what you said makes any sense. There is no evidence that people at Yahoo are more or less "checked out" than any company. And it is ridiculous to think she can magic

The MacBook Pro also has: - Thunderbolt - USB 3.0 - Bluetooth 4.0 - Optical In/Out - MagSafe - Better Trackpad Not to mention a company with a history of great support. There really isn't any good reason to buy a Pixel.

Why don't you just run Ubuntu in VirtualBox/Parallels ?

Optimized for serving HTTP requests at a high throughput. What possible reason is there for Apache deliberately slowing that down ?
134.
by taligent 14y ago
Call me stupid. But maybe Apache shouldn't ship defaults that have poor performance ?

WebObjects never took off because of pricing. And by the time they ported it to Java there were plenty of open source alternatives.

Sorry but do you understand technology at all ? iTunes Music Store is a web service. Whether it delivers HTML or XML to a thick client is irrelevant. It still needs to deliver a tremendous volume of them in addition to managing the download

It really doesn't. It is illogical to block just this phrase and not the many others that would be far worse.

It depends what email account he sent it to. It seems like at least Apple and Google are both using F-Secure. So it could be a bug in their definitions files.

Apple does actually know how to run web services. They run the world's largest media store and one of the world's busiest online stores in addition to iCloud. Just because MobileMe was a piece of junk doesn't mean they are completely cluele

What do you mean what is the point ? The obvious assumption with all software is that it is optimised out of the box.

That's the thing though. Apple has never filtered emails before or even hinted that they would. I'm going to take a guess that this is just a misconfiguration in the spam filters.

SAP HANA would be one but it is basically in memory so very, vey expensive.

Seriously can you and your ilk just please stop. It's so exhausting to hear how much smarter you are and if we just educated ourselves we would realise the error of our ways. People who choose the technologies aren't stupid or masochistic.

Scandinavian countries are also quiet small in size so you aren't likely to be too far from a charger in the event something does go wrong.

I am confused why Brennen spent so much time to say so little. Of course we don't know the exact reasoning behind the decision nor whether they have metrics to back it up. That is obvious and is the always present caveat whenever there is a
