  • Apple announces progress toward carbon neutral goal, new energy projects

    Apple should build a modern nuclear power plant, that would be truly green…
    …Gates is further along that road than “visionary” Apple, which is more interested in virtue signaling and greenwashing.

  • WebKit code leaks Apple's next OS names as macOS 12, iOS 15

    rcfarcfa
    Maybe Apple could decide on the final leap sometime? As in syncing all the various OS names to the underlying version of Darwin?

    That would then not be macOS 12 but macOS 21 🤷🏻‍♂️
    And macOS, iOS, tvOS, watchOS wouldn’t have all confusingly different names, even though they are the same OS with a different UI layer slapped on.

    So, how about macOS 21, tvOS 21, watchOS 21, iOS 21, Darwin 21?

  • Former Apple designer recounts teasing Steve Jobs over NeXT vs OS X

    rcfarcfa
    The guy is doing a shameless self-promotion on the back of a guy who can’t contradict him anymore.

    NeXT was better, in MANY ways, e.g. the side on which scrollbars are is more efficient for western left-to-right scripts.

    E.g. the floating, pop-up-able, vertical application menu is much better than the menu bar, the latter sucking badly both on small and really big/multiple screens.

    A guy who buys a NeXT to prove his point without actually having adapted to the NeXT workflow has zero credibility.

    I used NeXTs from 1989 till … and both Mac OS of various flavors before and after. There are still Tricks NeXTStep could teach macOS, which ever more turns into a version Windows, because the number of people at Apple who still understand the design principles of NeXT and have any influence are homeopathically diluted…

  • Zuckerberg changes tune, says Apple's iOS 14 privacy feature might benefit Facebook

    Which is just another reason why Facebook needs to be hit with an anti-trust lawsuit: now he’s actually publicly musing about leveraging dominance in one market (social media) into an unfair advantage in other markets, like online markets.
