So buy an Apple and make it look like a Dell. Seems like a winner. /s

Guess I'm the odd one out then, I have never and will never use public wifi networks. I don't even trust connecting through client's office wifi networks. On the rare occasion I have no other option in work situations in clie

Was hoping this was referring to Johnny Cage of Mortal Kombat fame. Left disappointed.

Oh, no, definitely not. You're right, that would be absolutely ridiculous. The base 10+ apps or so I mentioned earlier are listed a bit further down in this thread here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12555847 Th

This is the entire list from my last install: http://pastebin.com/raw/hrYYMJPi The base apps I almost always start with are: - Moom (advanced window management) - Hyperdock (window previews when hovering over dock apps

You mentioned the first two on the list, why not the rest? Oh... right... including those paints a very different picture: Retina MacBook Pro: 491 days since last release Mac Pro: 1007 days since last release Macbook Pro: 1563 days sin

No, I wouldn't say it's fine and haven't been - my HN comment history will attest to that. OSX is showing it's age more and more every year. Yosemite. El Capitan. Sierra. You may as well have labeled them iOS integration

As a fellow Apple power user, I share your sentiment regarding the sarcasm. It seems like a change happened in the past few years that to love something, means to love it unconditionally, to the point that you must be blind to it's wea

Can you honestly say Apple products "just work" anymore?

Wow. Just wow. If this happens, the game has just changed. Ron Dennis and Tim Cook. If you replaced Tim Cook's name with anyone else, I wouldn't believe it could ever work. Tim Cook though has already shown how awesome he can work

I love all of the advanced functionality hidden just beneath OSX's user-friendly veneer. Sadly, it's been one of the first casualties in the post-Jobs Apple. Every new release of OSX along with Apple's own apps, the first thi

Microsoft has clearly identified this weakness as well. It's no coincidence the bash prompt has suddenly become available in windows...

And I turn it on EVERY time I setup a new OSX install - I want to bloody well know for damn sure whether I'm on HTTP or HTTPS when I'm on websites and some stupid little lock icon ain't gonna cut it when I'm passing cred

How does she know gender actually had anything to do with the difficulties she was/is experiencing? Sounds like the author may be what the book "Leadership & Self-Deception" terms as "being in the box", which is

Never was a fan of the OSX release names during the post Steve Jobs era at Apple. MacOS x.x like iOS is fine to me.

Knowledge != Experience. Education, Sex, Race, pffh - all bullshit - experience trumps all of it. Top talent doesn't need bullshit technicalities and qualifications to shine and anyone that uses any of the above to tear others down has

Nail on the head right here. The only thing Dropbox has these days is consumer confidence in it's syncing process. Beyond that, they trail every competitor feature-wise and frankly, they are succeeding despite their management, not bec

Ditto - and I agree, underdog doesn't quite feel like the right word. It's more like yesterday's champion coming out of retirement to deliver some good old-fashioned ego checks on today's cocky up-and-comers. Either way,

Have to disagree on this one. The 6th gen iPod nano ( https://support.apple.com/library/content/dam/edam/applecare... ) is my absolute favorite, so if they made the Apple Watch able to be an iPod without a

Incorrect. All requests to metrics.apple.com and securemetrics.apple.com are going directly to Adobe Analytics, a third party analytics provider and part of the larger Adobe Marketing Cloud. The only reason the requests appear as 1st-party

I used to want to visit the UK, not so much anymore... when you find yourself mulling over how best to protect yourself in the same way you'd prep for attending something like defcon, it sort of loses its zeal. Edit: wow, the downvotes

Being a technologist, I (we?) are probably more sensitive to technology presence in day-to-day life, so this strikes a chord. The joke of the evolution of a software engineer ( https://medium.com/@webseanhickey/the-evolu
