The Angry Drunk

Harry C. Marks saves me the bother:

Chuq Von Rospach on the recent hand-wringing from the pun­di­toc­racy over so-called “crap” apps in var­i­ous Apple app stores:

What caught my eye were phrases being thrown about like “Apple’s missed oppor­tu­ni­ties to pre­vent dis­as­ter were such sim­ple and quick fixes”, which, once I stopped laugh­ing, made me want to cry in sym­pa­thy. It’s not sim­ple. It’s not quick. If it was, Apple would be doing it.

It’s always a treat to see some­one who actu­ally knows what the hell he’s talk­ing about weigh in on these issues.

Harry C. Marks at Curious Rat says pretty much what I would about Apple’s Mountain Lion announce­ment. This bit in par­tic­u­lar stands out:

Some peo­ple will look at Mountain Lion and see the “death of com­put­ing”. I look at it and see the clos­est thing yet to the com­put­ing expe­ri­ence that I’ve wanted since get­ting my first Macintosh over two decades ago.
