Apple’s Fusion Drive is probably the best hybrid SSD/HDD solution I’ve ever used, and it didn’t take rocket science to get here. All it took was combining a good SSD controller (Samsung’s PM830), with a large amount of NAND (128GB) and some very aggressive/intelligent software (Apple’s Core Storage LVM).

AppleScript has survived and remained relevant during a turbulent decade-long transition, despite its unbeloved language syntax and technical hurdles, for the simple reason that it solves real-world problems in a way that no other OS X technology does. In theory, AppleScript could be much better; in practice, though, it’s the best thing we have that works.

Quando comparados a outras plataformas mainstream para PC ou mobile, OS X e iOS são verdadeiros portos seguros no quesito segurança.

O registro baixíssimo de incidentes é recorde na indústria. Que jogue a primeira pedra quem não tem telhado de vidro.

Portanto da próxima vez que você ler umas dessas manchetes tendenciosas ou sensacionalistas sobre (in)segurança nas plataformas OS X e iOS, pode ser revelador dedicar algum tempo à pesquisa do estado das coisas, nada abonador, nas plataformas Windows e Android.
