Oh? apple is now proprietary there too and soldereds to the motherboard? What IS a ‘Windows HD”. Who makes it? Segate? Western Digital?
Blather indeed.
I’m not the only person that has trouble getting cut and paste to work with Safari and iOS 8. It’s a known problem. The only fix for now seems to be use a different browser. I’m not an Apple hater, but when a basic function like cut and paste doesn’t work right it’s very annoying to say the least.
This reminds me of the PC gaming industry years ago: for performance reasons, the game developers bypassed as much of the OS graphics hardware abstraction as they could. They would then get bit by every OS release as Microsoft made changes to the underlying graphics APIs. And everyone blamed Microsoft.
Another example: Microsoft and Intel data show that roughly 80%+ of the blue screens of death in Windows were when the hardware hung during a BIOS call. In other words, while you were not running the Windows OS. Again, Microsoft was blamed. Hence why they are a big supporter of EFI.
And as a final note: I bet Apple doesn't tell them "deal with it", I bet Apple suggests they "use the proper abstraction layers and APIs" to help abstract them from under the hood changes in OSX releases.
Yes, you are abysmally wrong. Why not Google a bit and find out before opening your mouth and proving to everyone how ignorant and deliberately so you are? You might learn something before you spread your hate and bile.
Commercial anti-virus companies publishing for OS X Mac:
There are more, and many of those have apps for iOS, but that should be sufficient to demonstrate your FUD post.
Because who are they going to sell to? All their customers are LOCKED into Apple with ALL of the ;other; choices they are forced into by Apple.
Because even Sony Pictures cannot afford to wholesale switch ALL of their massive investment any easier than Dicks corner Studio can with his comparitively modest. Cost scales.
THAT is why its purely Stalinist. It’s a virtual monopoly.
Total ignorance. Apple OS X is a fully featured and open trademarked UNIX operating system. You REALLY ADONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. Every Mac user is either a couple of keystrokes or clicks away from a fully functional UNIX Terminal, if they choose to use it.
All of which are Apple/NSA backdoored correct?
Write an apple approved app and sell it outside Apple’s domain.See a problem here yet?
“And as a final note: I bet Apple doesn’t tell them “deal with it”, I bet Apple suggests they “use the proper abstraction layers and APIs” to help abstract them from under the hood changes in OSX releases. “
then you really need to talk to some software devs in the music biz. Because “Deal with it” had become a buzzword for them. They hear it often.
Run Arturia Jupiter 8V through Elisencer controlled by an SSL Matrix console on MaCUnix from a command line or controled by a Slate Raven MTX via command line and get back to me on how that worked out for you.
To save you 50K in cash and I will tell you how that ‘choice’ worked for Swordie in the real world.
Not at all.
Then I won’t worry about it.

>Now you did it. You’ll be branded a collaborator ;)<
Nah, she’s with me. I’ve got a Macbook, so I can play around with UNIX. And I have an iPhone, so thanks for the warning to stay off random Chinese App sites. I’ll make a note of it. :P

To the contrary, the WireLurker victims took knowing and deliberate steps to AVOID Apple's "walled garden" protocols, getting apps from outside the Apple App Store and installing them via means not intended for such [ab]use.
While we may complain occasionally about Apple's app review process, this is a prime example of why it's in place and valuable. NO WireLurker-infected apps come from the Apple App Store. Get apps from there, and you won't have a problem.
What, you mean Itunes? ;)
Oh so Apple has not backdoored the NSA into everything then? What a relief.
If you deliberately bring weed-infested soil into a walled garden, don't be surprised by what grows there.
WTF are you talking about? What does NSA have to do with what I wrote?
And here I sit posting from mah (GASP) Winderz laptop. Oh, the embarrassment. (c;
Maybe you should read the entire series of posts about it where it was all covered above.
