It does :)
decade before app stores became a catchphrase. The
amount of dross in the
Play market and in Apples store is staggering - I wouldn't even consider the
majority of whats available from them as real, useful apps - most are more
like installable ads and thinly-veiled spyware.
You know, I was sitting next to a fellow co-worker few days ago who
was, in fact, swearing, because he couldn't find a certain useful
productivity app for the "big" OSX (on a Macbook) which he had on his
iPad. He was actually quite ready to spend $100 on an HDMI adapter and
get himself a display so that he could get his work done.
would be nice if in a few years this trend could
change so that people are
using Linux to record with because it has become a superior audio production
platform but for that we may need Apple to screw up OSX as hard as MS have
with Windows 8 and more than just Bitwig + a few extra plugins.
I really like how willingly people claim that Microsoft screwed
Windows 8. It's not as sales actually started already.
To be honest though, I could care less about world
domination for Linux. I'd
be happy if it wasn't just outright ignored by hardware manufacturers and
they had the good sense to at least co-operate with the Linux community but
there lies our chicken & egg.
No, really? Last thing I heard is that vendors of Firewire audio
devices were quite willing to give specs to FFADO folks and even send
hardware, and it was a shame that there were so few FFADO folks to
make use of those specs.
