Despite the fact that unifying two codebases makes much more sense than selling a truck to a family I must say that I disagree. The problem for me is not convergence per see, I would not mind having features from an portable OS in the OS th

What's next? Will Apple design their own GPUs instead of using third parties to design one for every product in the Apple Store just to control the costumer experience? What kind of business advantage Apple will have compared to NVidia that

But even in the linux space I see people migrating from CDs. Just remember that diskless instant on small computers originally came with linux. My only problem with that is that it's much more easy to deal with isos than with imgs.

I was expecting the new release to be named Maine Coon or Cougar, jokes apart I hope some new improvements in Finder, file searching, some cool features for new hardware and a complete system compiled by clang. Maybe a bunch of small new so

I have compiled a LFS distribution four times, it's good to see how the system is built, you'll learn parts of the system that are very important but not much people understand how they work (PAM for example), there are more things to learn

I would love to be able to run a bunch of legacy operating systems just to study their inner working, A/UX, Mac OS, Amiga OS, SunOS, OS/2, VMS, QNX, BeOS and the entire OS zoo.

Well licensing and renting are not, legally speaking, the same thing, so the analogy does not hold. But I do not see anything wrong in a vendor requiring the hardware to be in a specific way to use a hosted service such as App Store, Kindle

SRE (Site Reliability Engineers) according to Tom Limoncelli (a Google's SRE) is a kind of sysadmin, I doubt that this would ever be the case.

Sort of the relationship of Android with the Linux kernel, for me this is the same as publishing a GPLed patch to OpenSSH or something like that, this is immense disrespect towards the developer community of a project, which does have its c

I think your opinion is too strong, OS X still ships with many GPL licensed software, bash, smbclient, nmblookup and I'm pretty sure that OS X server includes the GPL3 licensed Samba, OS X still comes with gcc, and I believe it will for the

I know someone who tested OPlayer HD[1] and he said that the player does not use the H.264 acceleration, some videos were absurdly slow, yet the player is in the App Store. [1]: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/oplayer-hd/id373236724?mt=8

I'm almost the same age, I had a PC, a console (first my older bother's NES, then a SNES, a GameBoy, a Saturn, a PlayStation and a GameBoy Advance) and I played with Arcades as well, each one was good for some genres of games, PCs hardly re

If you test it under OS X you need to use the OpenBSD/NetBSD instructions using the FreeBSD code but you will use a 'macho' object file.

Ping is a kind of Steam, Xbox Live or PSN, I think that people that thinks that it will compete with Facebook are misunderstanding the situation (I did before trying to use it).

Sure there are ways to Apple amass a large user base with Ping, but I think it is hard to fight with the extensible, and relatively open, Facebook that can be accessed from any browser, I see no point for someone that does not use iTunes St

The problem is that the author does not cites the iPhone or Apple, and although he cites Android he hardly cites it in a positive way, he even provided two links that openly criticizes Android and it appears he is endorsing their positions.
