Many of them are hardware which is understandable.

It would be nice, but perhaps hard to do, to have a list of "sherlocked" apps and services.

They removed the speed and pitch adjuster in QuickTime player, some time in the past decade, I forget when. That was a useful feature to me.

It's not on the site, and I don't care _quite_ enough to figure out how to add it.

That's the problem with built-in software that "does it all" and crowds out the market for other software. One day it might not do it all.

(VLC can do this, but not as simply as I used to be able to).

Reading this, it honestly seems like Apple has keen product insight. Dropping FireWire for TB/USB etc. Killed by Apple but thank god so we can have fewer custom ports. Thank you, Apple.

Or acquisitions where they immediately killed the product... RIP FingerWorks TouchStream

Hacker news holds Apple and Google to different standards, so I doubt this post will get much traction. (I'm still angry about how I must use an iPhone if I want to be able to text high quality video to people I don't know very well)
