| Your link to patrik gibson's twitter shows how silly the original hypothesis is. For instance, Apple's stores are still powered by WebObjects because WebObject is still one of the best web frameworks in the world. Do people say that Amazon is "bad at the web" because obidos and gurupa were designed in the 1990s? They're worse than WebObjects by a wide margin. How about all the companies whose web services are from the 1990s? Including google! The rest of his examples are cheap shots or simply based on ignorance. For instance, Game Center having trouble under heavy load is an exceptional event not a daily occurence, and lets not forget the weeks of cummulative time that google has had gmail down because of issues over the years, and all the mail people have lost and the fact that google will just blackhole people's accounts for no reasons and then when it happens you have no way to get your data back. The rest of it is misunderstanding or misrepresentation. In other words, this is just more propaganda in the endless google good, apple bad, ideological war that was started to try and cover the fact that android is a blatant ripoff of iOS. |
