Agreed on question part. Regarding IE itself: strongly disagree - marking most of new tech as "under consideration" is poor communication management at best - if they are not interested in sharing anything they should add another

Yes this was that one. Being honest this may not be following guidelines - so I deleted question. Maybe someone should create Stackoverflow like site for more open questions.

recently I replaced OSX on my macbook to Ubuntu and I'm very pleased for the following reasons: 1. better key shortcuts: no hassle to maximize, windows ninja moves without additional software, can do every UI operation with keyboard (m

I think people didn't trust MS because of Android patent extortion fees (which they still do BTW) and Mono was covered only partially by patent promise. I still don't know if every part of Mono is "patent promise" covere

"Corruption in cases where governments explored switching to alternative operating systems." huh? I'm not MS lover but can you prove this ?

Dartlang also will get C# style await async (as of 1.8) and has very similiar syntax. Additionaly it has more CLI oriented tools (eg. pub) and Google ecosystem integration (recent app engine managed vms integration) I'm happy .NET is g

ok - worst dev job. I still feel pain looking at ugly VB syntax

VBA is joyless. I started my career as VBA dev. It was the shitiest job I've ever had and worst job I can imagine to do. Bloated unreliable with disgusting API (like try catching for contains method on collection).

kudos for Firefox team. I hope they put more love in speeding up css animations (like here: http://bartaz.github.io/impress.js/#/bored )

pointless since it's obvious for you ?

Well...no. Apple is adding online sources to UI more or less same way as Ubuntu (I don't have opinion on whether it's good or not - I find it useless for me on both OSes). My point is: there is an inequality of treating Ubuntu and

you still seem not getting this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apologetics for me - if it wants to convince me to buy something it's an advertisement - no matter it's third party or not. But as I said before

by tkubacki 12y ago
being honest - I don't care that much. Really interesting (and somehow funny) are all those Apple apologists trying to rationalize/justify everything Apple does.

by tkubacki 12y ago
no - I'm suggesting both situations are equally unpleasant for users and HN crowd tends to absolve Apple for any 'crimes' they commit - it's just funny (I'm using both Ubuntu and Mac on a regular basis)

can this be turned off ?

by tkubacki 12y ago
so Apple's false privacy statements are not as bad as Ubuntu's Amazon search results ?

Funny - just compare how Ubuntu was bashed for Amazon lens in Unity and how differently Apple is treated for the same (or even worse) things here on HN

That's why I use Ubuntu's default Unity on desktop and OSX Macbook these days. For me it just works. Ubuntu has even more powerful window managing key bindings by default (on OSX I need Spectacle). For all other things I just don&
