Ah , ZDNet . Where the nut of an idea is plenty . As long as that nut is thrown at Apple .
Oh , there are certainlysomewriters doingsomegood turn over at ZDnet , but it is n’t precisely Paris in the 1930s . More like Mos Eisley as depict in the 1970s .
Take it away , Robin Harris :
Apple ’s warming trend in the enterprise is about to get squashed : Microsoft ’s new ReFS file system – due in Windows 8 Server – will be the first major file cabinet system to fix data - destroying hemipterous insect in today ’s most popular OSs . Apple ’s much - patch and buggy HFS+ ca n’t get along tight .
Uh … right .
Do n’t get too unrestrained though : like most major FS introductions , this one is waiter only , and wo n’t , initially , supporting boot .
[ blank stare ]
So .
Robin .
The comprehension of Apple in this piece is just your jerktastic way of apply this tidbit of data about Windows — that a handful of corporate IT drones might be interested in — and trying to make it about a companionship that people really care about ? Got it .
Of course , anyone pay the little bit of attention knows that Apple ’s late successes in the endeavour are user - driven , and user could really give a rip about file system . The pressure to be able to use iPhones , iPads , and MacBook Airs is hardly go to abate because Microsoft ’s server OS supports a sound data file scheme .
This is the thing about ZDNet . They just seem to be essay too tough to get our attention . The Macalope specifically shy away from talk about ZDNet ’s David Gewirtz for exactly this reason .
But he thought this would be a respectable fourth dimension to stick to up on one of Gewirtz ’s piece from a year in a half ago that the horny one took note of at the fourth dimension .
How many American jobs will Steve Jobs demolish ?
Yes . He really indite that back in June of 2010 . ( Why do masses keep asking that ? Has the Macalope ever lied to you ? OK , that one time . But what was he hypothesise to say ? “ You attend like an idiot in that hat ? ” That ’s not nice . Even if it ’s true . )
Let ’s review Gewirtz ’s “ argument . ”
By blast Flash and Adobe , the verificatory hurt is to all those little ontogeny companies and all those developers , many of whom may find themselves without an income stream .
Or look at the app review procedure . The problem with how Apple does this is there ’s no warrant that an app you build will ever see the light of day . The problem is , if you ca n’t be certain to be able-bodied to play your app to market , can you give to knock off a year of your time ramp up a substantive musical composition of codification ?
Sooo , yeah .
Apps produce 466,000 jobs in the U.S. since 2008
This includes Android , BlackBerry , Facebook , and Windows Phone , but the point is that it ’s evidently obvious that Apple ’s create far more jobs than it ’s destroyed . And it ’s certainly much more honest work than develop for Flash . Yuck .
So , heed , ZDNet author , weseeyou over there . The affair is , we ’re just not that into you .
