Why does apple use aspx? Not only is that strange but does anyone really use that anymore?

[chrisseaton]

It's an off-the-shelf product.

Why do you think they should they make it themselves?

[Redoubts]

Well,

1) That would be very on brand for Apple

2) They're already in the business of making complex web pages, and this is the only subdomain branded with this tech, so why special case it?

I think Apple are famous for not having this core competency compared to its competitors?

> so why special case it?

Why do companies outsource anything? Why doesn't Apple employ its own janitors? Because it's not what makes them money and their engineers are astronomically expensive.

Why would Apple not employ its own janitors? Their building is huge. It would definitely be more cost effective to have a janitor department.

Perhaps they don't make their investor relations pages themselves? Not exactly core to their business.

Apple uses Webex for meetings instead of some homegrown FaceTime, for the same reason — somebody else already built something that works.
