When I was a sysadmin intern at my college in New York, I worked on these systems daily. We also had a very close partnership with IBM since we're located in the same city as HQ.

TLDR: It's not integrated as well as on the new Mac, as usual in the PC world.

I cringed when Microsoft did it. Apple has been doing stuff like this for years. Accessibility has been at the core of the company since the 90s. Just look at all the accessibility meet ups, workshops, and presentations were given at this year's WWDC alone.

Why? It would just scale to the display size.

Without the swift standard library, what can be done? Doesn't the standard library include all of the basic types, like Array, Int, etc?

There's a startup solving this! https://sourcegraph.com

Does it matter if you considered it cheating or not? You augmented the main, core part of the game to make it easier to catch pokemon. That sounds like some form of cheating to me.

killer - as in battery killer

I'm certain that if you are really honest with yourself, you'll agree that the "malicious" practices you point out are entirely different - not even comparable - to the security negligence pointed out in the OP. When I buy an Apple computer, I'm aware of everything you listed - and in fact, I enjoy it. I don't want to worry about a thing when I buy my computer. I'm not interested in self repairing, upgrading, or tinkering. If I buy an Asus however, I would have had no idea that my entire system was at risk. That kind of negligence is malicious in my eyes - not creating closed off hardware.

All animals live on Mars? You've lost me.

It's most useful implementation is peek and pop, to preview something without committing to going into that screen. That's nothing like right click. The only place it's at all similar to right click is on the home screen, and even that is totally different than any right click implementation I've ever seen. The most similar thing is right clicking an icon on the OS X dock and seeing recently modified documents relating to that app.

Absolutely wrong. Nothing is breaking. Apple simply rejected an app / an update to give the developer a chance to fix the issue that could break at some point in the future.

Well, that's what happens when you don't write native apps.

That's awesome. Any additional info on this topic?

What? The UI is totally fine. Just because it's a grid of photos doesn't mean it's just "an iOS app shoehorned onto OS X." The app is written from the ground up for OS X. It's not just some basic half assed port of the iOS version. The UI is different. The editing tools are more powerful. The performance is blazingly fast. Go give the Photos app on Windows 10 a shot if you want to see what the competition is up to. That is a pathetic Windows (mobile) 10 port.

For me, owning a Mac has a much lower cost of ownership in terms of time. I boot up the computer and it's ready to go.

I don't need to reinstall the OS or download an uninstaller to remove bloatware. I don't need to install antivirus (yeah, this one isn't required, but the reality is that there is much more malware targeting Windows). I don't need to wait for Windows Update to finish before my computer shuts down or boots up - these are particularly painful. I don't need to worry about programs scaling to a retina/high DPI display. I don't need to spend time reading articles about how Windows 10 is tracking me and how to prevent it. I don't need to worry about my laptop breaking, because if it does, I'm a genius bar appointment away from getting it fixed. If my Samsung laptop breaks, I need to ship the whole thing, likely wasting weeks.

Not everyone experiences these issues, but this is how it feels for me. I made a very gradual transition to OS X - owning PCs, building PCs, using OS X on my PCs for almost a decade, then finally buying a Retina Macbook Pro.

A direct quote was provided in the post where he and his brother were called lazy.

I've also personally experienced a negative stigma around my sleeping habits. The only thing that stopped my parents from complaining about it is that I've excelled in college and in my career.

Just because you can type "sudo" on both doesn't make them similar when it comes to making GUI applications. Again, the frameworks are completely different, meaning that a complete or nearly complete rewrite would be necessary.

OS X and Linux are not the same OS. The entire stack for writing GUI applications is completely different - as different as writing an iOS app vs. an Android app. OS X and Linux don't share the same kernel, the same foundation frameworks, or the same UI frameworks. The entire application would have to be written from scratch. If they're really ambitious they could probably share some Objective-C business logic, but anything that touches the UI is platform specific.

How do they spy on you? There's no suspicious network traffic leaving my Mac. They might collect info about Siri queries or downloaded apps, but they're certainly not logging keystrokes from OS X or iOS.

You could jut turn off notifications for MyFitnessPal, right? The app is still a powerful tool for keeping track of your diet and exercise.

When was there ever an event where people were cheering that hard for Steve Jobs? It's moments like the one seen at the end of this trailer that detract from the historical accuracy of the film.

Hackintoshes would make a lot more sense.

Considering OS X can run on regular old Intel PCs (including the Surface 2!), I'm going to guess that they just have a rock solid, low latency solution, and not something tied to a specific platform.

Good animations should draw the user's attention to certain things. If everything animates arbitrarily, it just becomes a distraction.

How could it possible know about all of that room geometry. Also, how is this better than playing a game using VR without AR? Why would I want to play in my office or home when the game could make its own level...

What a fantastic example of the wrong way to use animations.

You use a wired mouse?

I hadn't heard of the modularity idea before. Thats actually really interesting. Upgrading to the latest model could mean just swapping the internals (battery included, maybe even display). That would be quite the differentiating factor for Apple's wearable lineup compared to Android Wear or Microsoft's thing. Apple could actually pull it of since since they have such a huge retail presence.

As a kid, I would have loved that! But can't you just picture the musty smell the classroom would have with 20 soaking wet kids? :p
