Yes, “Apple’s evil”…except for all the others.

Before Apple introduced the iPhone…

I believe this demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how 64bit works in Snow Leopard. 32 bit kernel, or 64 bit kernel, the 64 bit apps can still take advantage of the 64 bit goodness. It makes no difference to the apps. The one thing keeping the kernel in 32 bit mode does at this time is allows us to still use 32 bit drivers since most drivers (printer drivers for instance) are still 32 bit only. Having the kernel in 32 bit really doesn’t affect system performance. That’s the beauty of Snow Leopard’s 64 bit implementation.

Please. OS X was not a great OS when first released. And it wasn’t until Tiger that a credible claim of superiority over Windows could be made. Even then it was a matter of opinion. It still is. As far as catching up, MS has had 64-bit since XP. OS X finally gets most of that with SL, although even then it boots in 32-bit by default.

Please master the use of its vs. it’s and half of the criticism of your writing will go away, then you can work on the other half. But do keep writing.

Cheers,

Bud

1. Most of the recent complaints center on the app store. Apple broke ground with this and, arguably, have become a victim of its runaway success. I sincerely doubt they expected 1.5 billion downloads in little more than a year. Without some form of approval/rejection, anarchy would prevail (though many would argue that is precisely what we have now). Have they got it right? No. Will they? Probably. They need more people working on the process. They need clearer guidelines. They need to be more transparent. Will it happen? Likely yes. Will it take time? For sure. This is still very new. Give them a break. They had the foresight and courage to do something no other company of similar size would risk.

2) Voicegate. Google’s decision to file to seal the records of their FCC response is interesting. Why did they do that? Could it be that the company may, just possibly, have made a mistake somewhere? Apple’s decision to post their response on the front page of their website is groundbreaking. They realized the seriousness of the issue. They dealt with it and, seemingly, they have been frank in their comments. Google Voice is still very new. Expect a voice app sooner than later.

3) Snow Leopard. Compared to Leopard vs Tiger, the upgrade seems light. Look at the price. It says a lot. Look at the name. Snow Leopard — clearly a migration, and always pitched as such. SL is more about what is under the hood and, also, getting OS X ready for the next wave of software and hardware innovation. No conspiracy here, just good business for Apple as Microsoft prepares to release what many claim will be it’s first competitive OS in 10 years.

Is Apple secretive? Yes. Is Jobs an obsessive maniac, albeit brilliant, visionary and, mostly, just plain darn right? Maybe. He’s also smart. No way will Jobs and the rest of the Apple management team prejudice what has made Apple so successful — innovation, delivery, customer focus, widening the boundaries, quality.

I swear ever thing you have written Liam is so biased and further from plain contempt for Apple it’s old and plain idiotic.

Get off your soap box, and learn how to write a comprehensive non biased report with facts and not Personal Feelings.

This is more about “You & Your” Personal Friends App rejections and not about Apple.

I am done with this site, Having losers like this blogging just shows they need to do a little weeding, get some better writers, and proofread before submitting any article’s of there contributors.

In this case, Negative Propaganda as this is, Should NOT be Submitted Without PROOF OF SUCH & in any shape or form Is contemptible and shouldn’t be floated as News.

This is a personal Rant “Personal” Not News.

They move on. Move on to another OS. Maybe Linux.

People may not know it, but there are alternatives out there. There’s —-Competition—- Out there.
