Recently in Macs suck Category

Apple just effectively banned 2 very good products for building (native) iPhone applications. Up until OS 4.0, these apps were perfectly fine, and you are probably using an app built using one of those 2 technologies already:

  • Adobe's Flash to iPhone compiler
  • Novell's MonoTouch
  • Unity 3D might be effected, but not quite sure yet
So yep.. Apple is evil.

Macs suck: file paths

| 2 Comments | No TrackBacks

I am starting on a new series I call "Macs suck". Case in point: file paths.

OS X is a UNIX system (BSD in fact). Paths are thus in the form /directory/subdirectory/file. But OS X presents paths in a convulated form: Drive/directory/subdirectory/file. Notice the problem? Programs which expect form A, when given a path in form B, get totally confused since that path isn't valid!
