Howdy!
Wow--over 4 years since I added a post here!
Why? Well, nothing very significant happens in the Apple world anymore. (At least that's my opinion.) I'm not interested in their new 'Home' apps and gizmos, that allow you to run your house by remote control. Nor am I interested in their Apple TV, Watch or AirPods wireless earbuds. (Let alone 'the cloud.') Call me a curmudgeon; I don't care. My mac has been able to do what I want to do for over 10 years. I can't think of anything in that time that has made any difference in how I work. (I might be forgetting something, but this is basically correct.) Computers were 'finished' a long time ago.
This Application is a non-provisional of and claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Application Nos. 61/389,117, filed Oct. 1, 2010, entitled 'Multi-Operating System Portable Docking Device'; 61/507,201, filed Jul. 13, 2011, entitled 'Cross-Environment Communication Framework'; 61/507,203, filed Jul. 13, 2011, entitled 'Multi-Operating System'; 61/507,206, filed. Mac/Apple Friends, I recently wrote some notes about Mavericks, or Mac OS 10.9, to try and distill my feelings about it. I grouped my observations into the following categories: Improvements, OK, Don't Care, Sucks, Sucks Hard and Deal Breaker. The Good News From reading the web boards, most people appear to like it.
The image (above, right) is from the App Store on my iPhone. As you can see, it's informing me that sixteen of the apps on my phone are 'out of date' or have 'updates.' I've probably said this before but, in the old days (say, 1990s), an update could well have a significant improvement that you could really benefit from. For example, I remember when a new version of Microsoft Word included an AUTOMATIC SPELL CHECKER! Can you imagine how cool that was?
'Updates' nowadays are usually to benefit the software developer, not the user. The new 'features' are actually new ideas (read: tricks), the developer has come up with to entice you into spending more money, seeing more ads, or getting you more dependent or addicted to their app. That's why they come so fast and furious.
I could go on, but I have better things to do. But I did try to write a little poem about it recently:
The Team
It's easiest if you sign in with Facebook
(And we'll get all your contacts)
And the cloud, so soft and fluffy
Let me find a vein.
You'll never know how you lived without it
Settings? Oh, don't bother with those.
(Water melts the Tech of the West)
Why bother your pretty head with the details?
Just sign on the line,
Now bow your head slightly
(The harness is velvet lined)
Congratulations, your on The Team!
Now giddyap, that's a good pony.
Huh? What's that you say?
'Blockchain?'
Ugh, I feel weak.
