![]() ![]() QuickTime currently supports closed captioning by including a text track alongside audio and video content. Someone- either Apple or a 3rd party developer- will make it so the theme can be changed. (And to those whining about the space theme, don't worry. Sure, you hope you'll never need it but it's the same with insurance. Idiot proof and, in my opinion, truly necessary. (Strange that they didn't demo this feature during the keynote, though.)Īnd this is the other biggie for me. Excellent- yet totally unexpected- development. I even considered buying Remote Desktop last year to help my computer-challenged family members with certain issues. Now, it seems, in iChat, all they have to do is share their screen, and you can take over! (If I am reading the description correctly!) It is the perfect way to help a friend or family member troubleshoot a computer problem or teach them how to do a particular task. I have long been wanting very basic Apple Remote Desktop abilities in OS X. I think one of the biggest things is the iChat remote desktop functionality. Okay, after reading the ten pages, here are my thoughts: Yet change is brewing, nothing lasts forever. I do agree that Apples current advantages are:ģ) Huge Population Of Cult Like Followers It's readily apparent you've gone to great lengths to cover up your lack of technical erudition. Your verbose attempt to cloud the truth is impressive, even if wildly false. They don't couch their products in political ideological terms. All they say is they want to make devices that are friendly and easy to use. They don't talk about political ideologies like freedom, democracy etc. In this case, I find Apple much more honest. Let's try not to fall AGAIN for that political cover. It's really interested in surviving and making money. Why do so many technophiles fall for the discourse that open means choice means freedom mean democracy discourse? It's all BALONEY! Google isn't really interested in protecting your freedom, democracy etc. And furthermore, that Android is actually open source is highly debatable but I won't go there. The two are not necessarily corresponding. This discourse makes a false link between software being open source and political ideology. Probably what bothers me the most about the discourse that Android is open is that underlying that logic is an implicit (or perhaps really explicit, depending on who is touting that discourse) assumption that it is democratic, liberal, progressive, and for "the people" and thus prevents a "draconian future" from happening because instead of letting corporations dictate our digital worlds, the people will a) have a say in it and b) have a choice.
