The complaint with using the word "stale" is that you have not described what attributes you feel are "stale". You are certainly welcome "to feel that iOS is stale", but the other persons who responded to your posts want to know your reasons. Rather than making a nebulous and unsubstantiated assertion, list the attributes of iOS that you feel are "stale"--and define what you mean by "stale": Is there something that is deficient and detracts from your user experience? Is there a feature that is offered by a competing product that performs better? Are you just looking for a visual change?
Once you have offered an argument to support your opinion, then others can respond to your specific points and tell why they agree or disagree with your opinion. That can make for an interesting discussion, where various participants may draw different conclusions. Simply asserting a vague opinion does not add value to any discussion.
I did answer. And I'm not looking to argue my point. Im not looking to argue at all. I made a passing superficially "not pro Apple" comment that was swimming in a sea of praise and the moderator started trolling me. Then others joined in. I sought to convince no one my opinion was correct yet apparently I offended everyone.
Hell I was even called a liar for my feeling that Apple is the only company that has the clout to sway the content providers to produce an Apple TV experience that is much more than just a screen.
So I literally have no fucking clue whats going on here.
Apple needs to shore up its truck business. They've turned themselves from a content creation business into a content consumption business.
1. Were the hell is iLife '13 (or for that matter '12)
2. Aperture (level it up)
3. Mac Pros (a new range of machines is needed)
4. Blu-ray playback / burning support in OSX? (stop ignoring blu-ray and put some burners in your machines)
1. don't know, but it looks like they set their priorities to different things, I presume iOS & OSX
2. Sure, I want a new version, with my wish-list implemented. Though the updates we are getting now are all free of charge, which is nice. But I wouldn't mind paying $79 yearly for upgrades. v3 was released 3 years and 3 months ago, which is indeed a very long time (wiki)
3. Cook said they'll release on this calendar year
4. Pop one in the empty bay of your Mac Pro, or buy external. I mean, if you need it, buy one. No software required as OSX burns those. Straight from DVD Studio Pro. I believe FCP (which also does 4k and 5k) does that as well, but you could always as Mr. Dick Applebaum.
How would you improve upon the iPhone home screen?
Aesthetic changes or functional changes?
Personally I like that iOS sort of gets out of the way; there are very few software barriers between powering on the device and accessing the applications.
And I respect your opinion. If I had to change iOS home screen it would be a cleaner version of the Android home screen. Hence why I'm using Android and not iOS. The intents and defaults are a plus.
If you rationalize a little, you will come to the conclusion that the home screen on Android is a wasted step. You could have the same functionality (if you want) on the lock screen.

Yea I guess that is true and I'm sure there's someone out there who has that. But I like having a lock screen.
Now that my single slightly negative thing said of anything Apple evidenced on this forum is remedied as per the hive mind can we continue being on topic?
Nah, just go away.

A UI refresh is a primary reason why people are looking forward to iOS 7.
Wikipedia: In Internet slang, a troll (pron.: /?tro?l/, /?tr?l/) is someone who posts inflammatory,[4]extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as a forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Did this post have a point other than to outline what you are?
Those options are horrible, you understand.
Find me one single troll post in my sixty or so posts. Just one. All you need to do is find one troll post of mine and I will deactivate my account or delete it or whatever I'm capable of doing on this forum.
Not a quote mined post either. A whole post so context is evident.
I'll wait. Should be super simple since you insist I'm a troll.
``While pundits and analysts like to focus attention on how Apple is now appears incapable of growing at the same historical pace simply due to the laws of physics....''
Please just don't include subject matter you clearly don't grasp, especially when it's insulting to those that do: ``...due to the laws of physics...'' is obnoxious.
Money is a man-made construct, not a universal physics construct.
P.S. The rest of the Op-Ed is solid.
Exponential growth can't continue indefinitely with bounded resources (space, materials, energy, etc.). That's a law of physics. I don't know who you're referring to who "grasp" physics and would find Daniel's statements obnoxious, but I'm a physicist and I think he has put it perfectly correctly.
Selling Apple's share in ARM must have been one of the biggest blunders Steve ever made it seems to me. Or was there some benefit other than a short term financial gain I am missing?
Possible benefits to Apple:
1. Focus: At that time Apple was still in the earlier stages of proofing their disruptive concept of intense focus on a few critical products/technologies.
2. Signaling to the rest of the community that the ARM "ecosystem" was not going to turn proprietary--note that Intel sold off their stake soon after, too. Now anyone* can be assured that an investment in ARM processors couldn't be hijacked.
* Such as Qualcomm, Samsung, TI, et al.
3. Then there's the money--a trivial amount by today's standard, but still significant back then.
There may even be an Ars Technica article discussing this in greater detail floating around if you're interested.
Did you delete my posts defining you as a troll. Then asking you to find a single troll post of mine since you consider me a troll despite the absolute lack of any trollish comment from me?
No, but I did preemptively remove the backlink to said post in the event it would be deleted, saving the effort of having to edit my post that referenced it. Because no one likes broken back links.
Then asking you to find a single troll post of mine…
No, but I did preemptively remove the backlink to said post in the event it would be deleted, saving the effort of having to edit my post that referenced it. Because no one likes broken back links.
I didn't even get to see that one.
So stop trolling me.
Or find a single troll post of mine (full post not a quotemine so context isn't lost) and I'll never come back here.
If you can't find one (you can't because none exist) leave me alone.
Comments
So? Good story but so what?
Stale. Live with it. Let it fester. IOS home screen is stale TO ME. Why does it bother you?
I did answer. And I'm not looking to argue my point. Im not looking to argue at all. I made a passing superficially "not pro Apple" comment that was swimming in a sea of praise and the moderator started trolling me. Then others joined in.

Yes you know, you are part of "I want to have an argument with you" Monty Python's sketch

edit #4: it does: http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
" now sits on well over $144.7 billion"
Surely sitting on money is a recession in itself.
If it just ain't going round it is sitting square on top of a resulting world depression.

Tell your handlers that you're going to have to try something else.
Thats close to the nuttiest thing on this forum today. If not this week.

Hilarious. Best part is, though, you don't get to be the one to determine that, because otherwise anything I'd post you'd dismiss.
Nice try, though.
