This article is like 3 stories tall. My neighbors on the 6th floor are seeing AppleInsider's header right now, after all the down-scrolling. Anyone who didn't bury their heads in the sand for the last 5 years has noticed that Android never …

> Um, no. Forking will duplicate the memory into another process. Copy on write in OS X duplicates shared memory into private memory. It is specifically designed for memory protection. Every application has access to the shared libraries but wh…

Hope they come with 32GB of Ram (though this is unlikely to happen if the price of RAM is rising); at the rate the average OS X first-party app eats memory (especially Safari), even that won't last long. For reference: the Notes app eats up 100 t…

Regarding multiple users, they aren't technically hard to implement, especially since Darwin already supports them, and it would affect the sandbox model either (case in point: there's a sandbox model in OS X). The only issue with multiple u…

Not sure what happened to my last post, I pressed SUBMIT and... nothing... Let us see if this one gets through. I've been wanting to go back to the dumb phone + PDA combo for quite some time, for a number of reasons: 1 - I like Google ser…

> Asking for more money after you're already paid for the app should be illegal. If the developer wants more money for the app, they should just charge more. I hate hidden fees. The point of "freemium" is precisely so that you don't pay f…

I seriously hope Apple doesn't lose interest on the Mac; it's the main reason why I choose Apple products at all. Quote: Originally Posted by ecs The problem begins with Intel, IMHO: they're so worried on power efficiency that ev…
