Jeopardizing functionality (you are not really asking as an OSX expert, are you?) Introducing nags to make some more money.

Alan Baker
Such as...

You are not really asking as an OSX expert, are you? iTunes became a huge advertising bazaar, unfortunately it's the mandatory single point of contact with any iOS device, call it improvement, I have another opinion, and i am not alone.

Killing a start button

Alan Baker
This is not an example of Apple software doing "the opposite" of improving.

Of Apple? I did not even know they had a Start button!

Laszlo Lebrun
Unity on Ubuntu

Alan Baker
Ditto.

Hmm you appear to have overlooked the half of my sentence so let's reintroduce it for you: ...especially with Apple software, but also Microsoft and Canonical.

Laszlo Lebrun
Stopping support for hardware etc...

Alan Baker
Which has nothing to do with whether or not the software has improved.

Oh! You could have worked for Apple! Don't you hear all the complaints?

Laszlo Lebrun
but you know that do you, you just have been asking to troll isn't it?

Alan Baker
Look in a mirror.

Laszlo Lebrun
Sandman and the OP called them exclusively smart folders, so logically one would in the help search for "smart folders", which returns nothing since Apple call them "smart mailboxes".

Alan Baker
What Sandman or the OP called them is irrelevant to the fact that the actual SOFTWARE only calls them "smart mailboxes".

Laszlo Lebrun
To that fact, sure. To our discussion not.

Alan Baker
Try again. Use English.

So just again for you: If a long thread one only speaks of "smart folders" that suddenly become "smart mailboxes" that might not be relevant "to the fact that the actual SOFTWARE only calls them smart mailboxes". This fact is objective and nothing influences it. With respect to a discussion, it makes well a difference if the smart folders, that some were claiming to be the solution, are in fact called smart mailboxes in the software. "so logically one would in the help search for "smart folders", which returns nothing since Apple call them "smart mailboxes".

That was the very point of Sandyflea pretending to have substantiated his claim while he did only throw a *wrong* word in the discussion.

Laszlo Lebrun
Which -with permission- isn't really an appropriate designation for an own alternate representation of existing data from an external mailbox. I suppose some lawyer interacted here and Apple were not ready to pay license fees?

Alan Baker
What are you talking about? It's a perfect suitable name...

Laszlo Lebrun
I disagree.

Alan Baker
Well, golly! That's definitive, isn't it?

LOL
