That is a big leap, from "I don't like the way they changed things" or "There seems to be a disconnect between the developers and the end users" to the purely moral judgement, "They are arrogant and don't care about end users". While I share some of your frustrations, I have to say, I would not like that judgement willy nilly made of me, especially by someone who doesn't know me from Adam.
I think what is happening is that Apple believes all computing devices are going to become more like the iPad, and are developing towards that end, to get a jump on the market trend they foresee. In fact, they probably have lots of plans to hasten things along that path. I think it is a miscalculation on their part. But I was wrong once before, so it's possible it could happen again. ;-) Bob On Jul 22, 2011, at 2:10 PM, Richmond Mathewson wrote: > On 07/22/2011 11:55 PM, FlexibleLearning wrote: >> I read this and thought of all the posts here... >> >> http://www.tuaw.com/2011/07/20/lion-ten-things-that-bug-me/ >> >> >> Hugh Senior >> FLCo >> >> > Well that does confirm my suspicions that as Software giants get bigger they > get more arrogant and care less about their end-users. > > I am beginning to feel the same about Ubuntu and its "Unity" desktop, and, > similarly > to Lion, its really disgusting new 'now-you-see-me-now-you-don't' ungrabble > scroll > bars. > > _______________________________________________ > use-livecode mailing list > [email protected] > Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription > preferences: > http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
