How will Apple respond, if at all?! Steve Jobs promised that FaceTime would be an open protocol... never happened. AirDrop is yet another closed protocol. XP

AirDrop is yet another closed protocol.
XPC is a new protocol for sandboxed processes to communicate with each other, it's basically distributed objects. Again, a secret even though things like CORBA, Java RMI, etc. have been around for years.
- cgh 12y agoYou are talking protocols vs code. Let me know when MS opens up AD, SMBv3+, etc.
- bunderbunder 12y agoA fair bit of it is here, including stuff for Active Directory (though I don't know enough on the subject to say whether any bits are missing) and SMB3: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc216517.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc216517.aspx
