You're either running a massively unsupported configuration (even for hackintosh standards) or just plain trolling. I'm posting this from a hackintosh I triboot with Windows and Debian. The difficulty involved reading a HCL when I built the system 3 years ago. The installation involved burning a disc and booting from it.
Hello, actually you now can, I've made it similiar to the Java syntax, but if you want a more "PHP" style:

unirest.get('http://httpbin.org/gzip', { 'Accept': 'gzip' }, 'Hello World', function (response) { });

or

var Request = unirest.get('http://httpbin.org/gzip', { 'Accept': 'gzip' }, 'Hello World');
Request.end(function (response) {});
They also gave it the A7/M7.

This makes Apple's product line extremely confusing, and I would predict that the Mini will be the biggest seller by far.

$399 iPad 2
$399 new iPad Mini with A7 & M7 / 2048x1536 display
$499 new iPad Air with A7 & M7 / 2048x1536

The Mini seems like the better device of the two, for less! And I don't understand why anyone would consider the iPad 2.
Well, Python is quick to learn. So my advice would be first a focus on the Python langage. After, it would depend : If you have great experience in MVC framework and you need it for a seasoned job, I think you could start with Django.
Flask is a just an easier (cooler !) way to learn framework with python.
Lighter. Faster. More magical.

Sigh.

Disappointing. What happened to doing something revolutionary? Where is the the text input? Apple are driving by creatives. When can I write my book on my Apple tablet?

And what's with the 16gb model. As they said, it has been almost 4 years now. And the 16gb model persists.
It's possible they wanted to be misleading like that. So the A7 in iPhone 5S could have a certain level of performance, while the "A7" in iPad Air has its GPU clocked twice as higher, but the same name.
Still, why not just use a USB drive? DVDs are painfully slow compared to flash drives.
FWIW there are strong and persistent report that OSX's memory management has finally stopped sucking in Mavericks, on top of the memory compression feature. A few people have reported significant improvements in "free" memory, and much more limited swapping due to e.g. the file cache being garbage[0]. So 4GB might be enough under Mavericks (BD obviously).

The reason they do it is "free money" though, especially since memory is soldered.

The iPad4 doesn't pack an A7.

The alternative is building a large machine containing vast empty space on the speculation that someone might fill it - leaving almost every unit significantly larger than necessary.

TB2 is fast enough that putting the storage outside the box makes sense. Makes upgrades easy: plug it in, rather than having to tear the box apart.
With any luck the CX1[0] will eventually be seen as merely ahead of its time, and not just a dead end. It was a marvelous concept for a machine. The main difference is that instead of stopping with cores-per-socket and flops per core, you also consider network and IO performance, between nodes in the workstation running quietly under your desk...

Doesn't the new OS have memory compression so that you can run more apps with the same amount of memory?

I appreciate that feedback, but I actually added that "prediction" after the value on the comment reached -2. So I am pretty sure it was because people disagreed with my stance, as I had provided a bunch of thoughtful reasoning besides simply stating my opinion and the comment was inviting reasonable discussion.

So I decided to call out this phenomenon and make this a genuine test of whether I would be downvoted simply because people disagreed with my position, WITHOUT discussing it first. But sadly it was contaminated by people like you downvoting because I had violated a guideline. I guess in retrospect it wasn't that productive to do it.
I care. Aesthetics is important to me, and when presented with two comparable solutions, one ugly option and a pretty option, I'll most likely go for the pretty solution.
That was with respect to the original iPad compared to the iPad Air .

This is really what I want to see. An updated mac mini with Haswell would be really nice.

I hope they just update it even if it didn't make it to the main announcements.

This is really a problem with Intel's branding and CPU numbering more than with Apple, unfortunately. I can't tell you the difference between an i7-4500 and i7-4500k, but I can tell you that sandy/ivy bridge gives a heck of a lot better performance than the previous Westmeres and nehalems.
The headline should read:

... since that is the only relevant datum here.
So their new commercial for the iPad focuses on the fact that so many people use it for productivity, so why can't Apple create a decent, first-party pressure sensitive stylus, so we don't have to deal with expensive, clunky, third-party solutions.
Can someone explain to me the obsession with "thinner"? This model is 2mm thinner and it's touted as taking "years of work". Lighter, I understand. Thin is a good goal, but 2mm is pretty pointless when you're just going to put a 5-10mm thick cover/case on it anyway.
Okay. Looks good.

Recently, Apple seems big on iteration and small on innovation. Miniaturising an existing product is definitely a good iteration, but when I see Microsoft experimenting with touch covers and the like, I do wish Apple would try one or two new things again.

It's a crummy product, but if they put a better product at that price point, it would take too many sales away from the $499 one.

I expect they could offer free upgrades for the consumer edition of the OS without any significant hit. The bulk of their revenues are surely from OEMs and businesses, not home users buying a boxed copy.

Just because something is capable of doing something doesn't mean it should. A Truck is capable of street racing, but you'd be better off in an actual racing car. Make devices for specific use cases, not for everything. That's how you end up with Windows 8.
Apple is going for even higher margins, and it will still sell well since who doesn't want a lighter iPad?

* SoC: A5X was 165mm^2. A6X was 123mm^2. A7 is only 102mm^2 with a 64-bit memory interface instead of 128-bit. They can do PoP memory too for even smaller PCB area. So much cheaper.
* WiFi/LTE: same chips probably used on iPhone 5c, 5s, iPad Air, and iPad mini. Simpler inventory and buy in even higher quantities.
* Screen: same screen as all previous retina generations likely.
* Battery: much smaller since the GPU is more efficient. More cost savings.

Right - and for anyone with a new Mac, or Macbook Pro, for that matter? Your Cinema Display will still be only USB2, with an annoying MagSafe adapter required, and “only” Thunderbolt 1.

Some would say that Mavericks was launched for free because Windows 8.1 did the same. Those same people might also say that Apple did one better by offering the update for computers running older than the most recent version of their software.

This is such nonsense, I don't even know where to begin. This was already the case in the US and there is no government mandate for it to be that way.

Are you going to give credit to the EU for that too?

They simply passed that regulation after it was already clear that things were going to end up there. It was a recognition of the status quo, it had zero effect.

I believe that a business being referred to as a "startup" should be something akin to an insult unless you're very, very early stage. It usually means you're running a business that's basically failing - no customers, no revenue, no profit. The sooner you stop being a startup and start being a business the better.

Obviously there are a few caveats to that as certain things that take more time and money than others (hardware, biotech, etc), but for most SaaS businesses (eg most startups) it's true enough.
Honestly, I had the original rMBP and had the terrible LG display swapped for a Samsung. I was cool without upgrading, but the problem I have is that all of my multimedia won’t fit on the machine. Stretching photo and music libraries across externals and stuff just becomes a logistical nightmare when considering redundancy.

So, for storage costs alone, I went for the latest machine with the new 1TB SSD option. It hurt a little to upgrade so quickly, but given the insane costs of replacing an SSD under warranty, when one fails I figure it’s cheaper than upgrading mine to a larger third-party one.

At this rate of government's lust for control and power, it is time to express outrage already.

I'll enjoy watching when they introduce random body cavity search at the airports. By that time, people will be conditioned enough to comply. After all, it's for our own protection.
How many people who don't skim tech blogs are going to be confused by the difference between "Mini" and "Air"? Both their current iPad lines include a diminutive in their titles.

No TouchID? Surprised they'd introduce a new feature on their premium phone and not include it on the (currently) premium iPads, especially since the other 5s hardware (motion coprocessor, 64-bit architecture) has been carried over.

I would have thought they'd want to build a basic foundation for the future, e.g. "all devices better than the 5s include 64 bit, motion, and TouchID". When you vary on a feature (like TouchID), you discourage people from building cutting-edge experiences that require it.
The whole free OS which can only run upon hardware they have already sold you is reminding me of how IBM used to sell AIX and moved into giving it away free as it would only run upon hardware only they made and sold you.

Question is though, what about support. You have a 3 year old Mac of some flavour and upgrade to this OS, what about issues you may have.

ANother aspect would be that by in effect making this level of OS available to all supported models out there warranty wise, they make life in supporting systems a little bit easier and very likely will drop support for the other older OS's on these models quicker. Again making life in support easier in many ways as well as making developers lives a lot easier. Especialy if they can target toward the a single denominator OS wise and take advantage of all the features without working towards only features common to the previous flavours.

Either way a good move. Though can bet there will be somebody on the older flavour of OS who will have some essentual application that they must have which has issues. But time will tell.

Good move on many levels I'd say by Apple.

Apple keynotes, like Apple itself, get more insufferable over time.

The only thing more tiring than hearing Steve Jobs describe every single thing they release as "magical" or "revolutionary" is hearing Phil Schiller blather on about hardware specs. Isn't Apple supposed to be the company that abstracts away hardware features to instead describe their products in terms of real-life benefits?

I remember a time when I truly looked forward to watching these keynotes and being inspired about the future. Now, though, every one feels like incremental changes wrapped in hyperbole. Instead of thinking "hey, that's actually pretty cool," I come away thinking "STOP SAYING EVERY DAMN THING YOU TOUCH IS 'MAGICAL' - GET OVER YOURSELVES AND LET ME DECIDE IF I'M AMAZED!"
That sounds pretty much like Europe too.

Considering the battery they need to power that hardware, while getting that battery life, getting it that thin is a big deal.
Another similar concept is the "Ideological Turing Test": can you answer questions from your ideological opponent's perspective so well that a third party can't tell you actually hold other views?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideological_Turing_Test

Until you can pass it, you may be wasting time disputing a thin caricature of the actual opposing viewpoint. And as you do well on such a test, you are often helping to "steel-man" the viewpoint. (On the other hand, any time you are steel-manning an unsubscribed position, you might also be hinting at your true perspective, when you deploy extra effort against certain critiques.)
The feminine touch in tech, part 2
As another dutch guy, I agree completely.
Mostly agree - although you can only use TouchID now to unlock your phone and buy stuff from Apple. So I think they probably want to give it a year out in the wild to see exactly how secure it is, so they can then unleash it with an API to developers.

That's my hunch.
Well, to be fair, it's more a comment on Intel's progress than Apple's. I'm sure you can throw together an ugly generic PC with the same parts for less. Anyway, workstations are supposed to look big and intimidating :)

It's a welcome incremental upgrade, but that's not what most people would consider revolutionary. The 10" Sony tablet is 1.09 pounds.

Revolutionary would be something like eye tracking and constant voice input to make it possible to do completely hands-free usage.
This comment is a classic type of comment in which the commenter ignores the social context of a technology.
But can you choose which peer to route through?

Also important: can you choose what to allow to pass through your connection? Can I rule out the case of someone accessing a child porn site through my connection?

If I were to run such a proxy, I'd only allow HTTPS or ssh traffic that I cannot possibly decrypt even if I wanted to, so I can't be held accountable for what I proxy.

Same is probably true for the other end: if I were to rely on someone unknown out there proxying my connection, I'd strongly prefer my entire connection to be encrypted, and my identity hard to trace. Else my proxying peers might happen to be exactly the people I'm trying to hide from.

Why are they still shipping otherwise high end laptops with just 4GB RAM? Does the speed of SSD make up for the lag when paging or swapping? (I doubt it.)
Sure, no offense taken. In addition to @VladRussian2's thoughts, here's a more explicit explanation of why we see both that problem and the one we're solving as big problems:

- 2.5 billion people worldwide lack basic sanitation. This is a fundamental human right and can cause harm by opening the door to disease which can sometimes lead to death.

- 130 million people in the US suffer from chronic illnesses and lack basic access to their medical records. This is a fundamental human right and can cause harm by opening the door to incorrect assessments and treatments which can sometimes lead to death.

> They'll also do it through software updates by making less features available on the older model in order to compel you to upgrade to the newer. "AirPlay Mirroring" only available in Sandy Bridge or greatest because of the usage of Intel QuickSync is an example of that.

By your own admission that's not "in order to compel you to upgrade to the newer." That's because the newer hardware is required to make it work satisfactorily.
That's sort of what he's going for though- remember the old days of Linux when only certain devices were supported? When using OS X like this, you don't even have the luxury of writing in new code to support them.
