New Apple Lust Objects for 2010 and onward

I have the impression that HFS+ is seriously locked-in unless there's a really major change needed. They've modified it enough....

Some dick stole my ipad. I replaced it on Wednesday. I noticed today that the glass is cracked in the corner. What the fuck.

lol wrong thread, oops

well, you got a new lust object, and now you're gonna get yet another
hope you got that applecare+, homie

What are you looking for out of a new FS? Some ZFS-type magic?

Personally I'd love it if Dropbox-type services were standardized and you could easily plug them in at the OS level, but it doesn't seem like that's the direction iCloud is going.

I'm not a ZFS-solves-all zealot, but at the very least I want the data/block checksumming and RAID stuff from ZFS as a start.

His accuracy is 45%. Let me know when he's better than flipping a coin.

is that including or excluding "scoops" from other sites that he's reporting on? because i think he addressed a point similar to this one on gruber's podcast.

also, for those on the sidelines, don't listen to our friend here -- gurman's work is worth following.

There's some intriguing speculation that as SSD drives get cheaper and faster it would be possible to further blur and/or reinvent the delineations between RAM and storage.

Hm. As they get cheaper, they generally have a lower number of erase cycles, which means that they would get destroyed pretty quickly if used for RAM. I guess they put a LOT of extra memory in SSDs to cope with cells getting worn out.

Ned what is that on top? Looks modem-y

I think it's a fan that attached to the back of the Mac. The fanless 128/512/Plus had power inverter boards that burned out over long-term exposure to heat.

it's explained in the comment, stet

eugh hidden by Nu-Flickr. Thanks.

10.10 is gonna be nuts

i hope it's not terrible because the ui of 10.9 is so much better than the ui of ios 6 and is in much less need of a redesign than that was

do you think they'll ever get over "OS X" sounding cool and just move to "OS 11" when there's a major feature change?

i don't know. it doesn't seem like it. like, what would that change be? for them, os x is the same as ios insofar as it denotes the operating system itself. whatever comes after that is the modifier.

you know? like, ios is the thing. os x is the thing.

you're not one of those horrible people who pronounce the 'x' as a letter, are you, markers?

i don't think so

it's a roman numeral, I mean

i totally am. it's more fun!

os x gonna give it to ya!

well, can't argue that

I keep thinking they're going to do something phenomenally silly, like "OS X 11.0"

I have been saying it like the letter X since 2001, thought that was common. how did The Jobs say it?

like this: http://bit.ly/1n2cch4

Yeah, fuk that OS ECKS all the way

do you also pronounce "OS" as osss as opposed to oh-ess

oh-ess-ecks

oh-sexxx

I say oh ess ecks and thought everyone else did

yep
