is this a joke?
apple used to be cool.
today apple is lame.
it's unix made stupid. with a gui.
jobs is a marketer. true colors.
he could not code his way out of a wet paper bag.
the people who deserve the credit are the design team.
for designing stuff that looks good.
from the icons going back to the late 80's, to the hardware casing which just keeps looking better.
too bad they're wasting their talents working for a company that cannot innovate in software (no, gui's do not count).
if unix is to be improved, it will not happen at apple.
and they will do everything in their power to prevent you from running a better os on their hw.
this is great news. b/c it means there's still (after how many yrs?) huge opportunity. think different.
code something simple (=terse) that follows common sense and just works and it's an island of consistent speed and reliability in a sea of crap and bloatware.
we need more djb-like coders, who do not mimick 1000's of other coding monkeys.
mcillroy said the hero is he who writes negative code. he's right. the world needs less not more code.
if you can't handle that, then you're just contributing to keeping the "state of the art" terrible. but then people just keep paying for this crap so that's why it won't disappear. the idiots are rewarded for their "productivity" in producing saleable crapware.

there's no place for js outside of the www/browser. and to think the inet begins and ends with the www is short-sighted.
js is made for doing silly browser tricks. enough already. the inet is much bigger and more valuable than the www and all its fragile gimmicks.
