Yes, I find it VERY hard to believe that this went on and nobody mentioned it at all. Not one disgruntled employee, not anyone mentioning it to a friend at a bar? No way.
In that sense, we found that all container-based systems have a near-native performance of CPU, memory, disk and network. The main differences between them lies in the resource management implementation, resulting in poor isolation and security. [1]
In my experience the measure of good logging is the ability for someone, either yourself or an operations engineer to be able to easily solve problems using only the logs. They shouldn't have to refer to the source code. Developers should be using this as the yardstick when asking questions about their log output.
I agree that that mac is six years old, but what is so different between the graphics requirements for lion and mountain lion? Seems like they didn't have the resources or inclination to upgrade the 32bit drivers to 64bit.
And yes - I'm aware that the upgrade costs $20 bucks. How much is a new macbook?
Shame about the lack of support for older macs. I've upgraded my late 2006 MacBook with a new SSD and the thing runs great. Best upgrade I've ever done. Now mountain lion isn't supported. Looks like apple trying to increase those profits even further.
Your Mac must be one of the following models:
iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
Xserve (Early 2009)
