That's not true. In fact, it's a specific misrepresentation of the CoC. Whoever planted that idea, did it in bad faith: > This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces an…

It doesn't really matter to me, as I'm not a Macintosh user anymore, but does it have the smart playlist feature like iTunes? That's the biggest thing I miss in most music players,…

You're probably outside the 95th percentile on that one, though, and good design targets the rest of the user base. I think most people probably just got annoyed by accidentally hi…

> want to eject a disk? drag it to the trash can...? That was just something that was there forever, basically since 1984. It was part of the Macintosh vernacular. You could also r…

Somewhere around 4.9 or 5.x is when I think it was best. They'd added library functionality for movies, TV, and audiobooks, which meant it was a one-stop shop for my media library …

If you think that's unprofessional, you should see some of the drivel the FSF itself puts out. I understand taking a position against proprietary code and systems. But to take an e…

If it's the minority that are drama creators, isn't it more reasonable to think that in most cases it probably is discrimination, then? Your comment really seems to be an attempt t…

By saying, "Pushing to get more even representation is at odds with business success or product quality," which is often outright stated and even more often pretty directly implied…

I completely agree. My grandmother is in the Alzheimer's wing at her local nursing home, and I cannot begin to understand how the staff can do their jobs day after day. It's almost…

It's foolish, and, honestly, kind of offensive, to imply that pushing diversity and at the same time pushing business success are somehow at odds with each other. There was an exce…

I think that you're failing to see the context of these things. You're looking at them as isolated incidents when they are not. As I understand it from friends and acquaintances, b…

Considering how 10.10 traps machines older than about 3 years in the digital equivalent thereof, they missed their chance.

I have to support an elementary school full of Macs, and Yosemite has been my ongoing nightmare. (Well, that and the bad joke known as OS X Server.) I won't update during the year …

I had this experience leaving the Apple walled garden about six years ago and moving on to Ubuntu (with Windows for gaming purposes in free time). I just kind of ate the costs. I s…

I think it's neat that people have been working on projects like this. It's good to play around with things and make your own thing... That said, I think that if you're doing all t…

Eich didn't just hold the same nominal position on marriage, though. He donated a large sum of money to actively (and successfully for a time) strip his coworkers of their legal ri…
