It would be very interesting to know how the entire OS is designed to track the user, and their basis for writing that.

It appears as though Special Agent Strzok has iOS and Android confused.

For me, Server offered me a way to easily set up and configure ACLs and their inheritance, which is not readily available in Finder. When setting up a Maxon Cinema 4D Team Render Server, properly inheriting permissions is critical to functionality of Team Render Server and trial and error testing showed that Finder did not offer the finesse or inheritance needed. I would love to see this functionality rolled into Finder; but, as long as it isn't, Server offers what I need for quick and easy render farms for remote shoots.

The question is, 'what does Apple really want to do with the intellectual property?' Just as Apple's acquisition of PrimeSense was not about turning AppleTV into an X-BOX competitor; but actually wanted the visual tech for FaceID, I'm certain that this acquisition is about acquiring the IP for a use that's radically different from how it is being used by Shazam.

Who gives crap which beta arrived other than developers. Users want to see end result, final release they can download and use it.

Developer betas typically become public betas within hours, and in rare exceptions no more than a day, so anyone who signed up as a public beta tester would certainly care.

I'm hoping this proves true. It always seemed less than idea for a HomeKit control center to be on a portable device, and since Apple declined to make the Mac the control center, this seems like a much better option.
