iOS is much better than Android

I do buy Apple products because I remember MS of the 80's and 90's but I do not like iStuff much, they collectively cut the heart and soul out of Apple.

Apple is the MS of the 2000's, all the same closed mindedness and stifling of the industry.

What general web standard does Apple want to propritize? As generally evil as Apple has become they are not trying to propitize open standards.

MS tried to make the web dependent on IE no other company has tried to stretch it's d**k out in the that manner.

Apple will continue giving out its OSX, iWork, iMovie etc Apps Free of Charge.
It will enable you to do Office documentation productively.

I had made my Acer 10.1" tablet much much faster,
using Advanced Task Killer,
kill apps every 3 seconds,
Now it is flying.

I cancel my decision to buy ipad air, save my money,
anyway, my ipad mini is still good for taking out on travel, more handy.

OS X is a commercial product, you don't get it for free.

To be fair, Apple may be a proprietary company that has mastered the seas of vendor lock-in, but you can't say that they don't contribute back to the open source world.

If you had purchased a MAC using mountain lion before, now u can upgrade it to Mavericks FOC.

TobiSGD · 12-17-2013, 02:34 AM

That you get a free upgrade this time does not mean that OS X is given away for free. You must already have it to get the free upgrade.
By the way, when did you purchase a Mac, I thought you were running a pirated copy of OS X on a normal PC?

future_computer · 12-17-2013, 03:25 AM

What do you mean pirated?
It is an original installation.

Just try to use safari and see how messed up web pages are. That was one of the issues when they took khtml, khtml was designed to adhere strictly to the web standards but Apples extended version of it didn't.

They only gave back reluctantly after a long fight. You could say Microsoft did the same with their "open" office format.

Pages look fine in Safari, it's webkit browser it renders like all other webkit browsers.

future_computer · 12-17-2013, 06:49 PM

Pages is not very compatible with Ms Office,
I prefer to use Libreoffice in OSX.
