Oh boy, WWDC is tomorrow. Yes, normally by now I would be bouncing out of my seat with glee about what Steve Jobs would be saying about his pride and joy…THE MACINTOSH COMPUTER LINE! But since this cash cow iPhone’s birth *the beginning of the end of Apple Computer honestly*, Steve Jobs seems to have forgotten what made him rich and famous besides iTunes, which is a totally different rant. Now, all I see is my favorite computer line is slowly dying into the wind, because people just don’t give a damn about it anymore. Macs don’t have a touch screen after all *god forbid it doesn’t have a greasy touch screen that shows every fingerprint!* But this isn’t even the best part. The focus of the WWDC, THE WORLD WIDE DEVELOPER’S CONFERENCE, is no longer the Operating System of Macs. No, it’s now the operating system of the iPhone, which used to be OS X, but now Apple has decided to separate the two and call it OS X iPhone. Wonderful, so what exactly is Apple now? I promise you it’s no longer a computer company.

Now for my worst beef with Apple. Why is this corporation so willing and ready to drop their PPC users completely off the face of the map? Especially their broke developers still dedicated to their cause but cannot afford a new laptop. After all, I was excited to start learning to program for my iTouch, but gasp, I can’t install the fucking SDK. Why? INTEL ONLY! So am I obliged to jump on the bandwagon and spend thousands of dollars so I can help benefit the Mac community with my software? Do I have to do this to make Apple happy? I won’t do it, sorry. I’ll switch back to Kubuntu Linux and Windows before I will be bullied by a corporation I’ve given so much money to already. That is exactly what it is, bullying. Apple is taking away all my privileges as a developer because I will not spend money to upgrade. It’s as easy as flipping a switch on the GCC compiler to compile for both PPC and X86, Apple just won’t do it. This however, has really only affected OS X developers still on PPC. Not to mention if you drop PPC, you drop all 32 bit architecture processors, including many of the early Intel Macs. But the day is coming when the consumers will suffer, and that is the day that the Macintosh line will ultimately be forced to switch or leave the platform entirely.
