the iphone 6 seems to be more shatter-prone than the 5/5s but thats just my impression

Apple Unifies Cloud Services Platform Amid Open-Source Push Like other tech companies that run Web services, Apple has long relied on open source software. But unlike most others, Apple has largely done so secretly, hampering its hiring and causing other problems. Now some within Apple are hoping that is going to change. The tech firm is developing a technology platform that can power all of its Web services, such as iCloud and iTunes, which have long run on separate tech platforms, say people briefed on the effort. The new platform is based on the one Apple developed to run Siri which uses open-source infrastructure software called Mesos. Apple this summer decided to move forward with the new unified platform, although it will take a least a couple of years to implement. The system will be whats called an orchestrated infrastructure that has the ability, among other things, to run Internet applications inside containers, which make it easier to scale the apps and make changes to them on the fly, one of these people says. Engineering manager Patrick Gates, who is overseeing the effort, has taken much of the Siri engineering team under his wing in order to run this new cloud infrastructure group. (Mr. Gates works in an org led by Internet services chief Eddy Cue.) An Apple spokeswoman did not have comment for this article. The single platform is designed to fix difficulties of integrating the Web services with one another and help some, like iCloud, roll out new features, something thats been a challenge. But what may be more significant is how it affects Apples interaction with the open-source software community. Engineers inside Apple hope the new unified platform will give them more political clout to break the culture of secrecy around its use of open source software. Apple has been trying to gain expertise in open-source software that powers the worlds top Internet services. Increasing Apples ties to the open-source community will help the company recruit open source engineers that it needs to build better Web services and avoid the kind of technical missteps its had with products like iCloud. Open Secret As Siri demonstrates, engineers at Apple have increasingly relied on open-source software projects in order to develop Internet apps the way true Web companies like Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook do. But few of those have been officially disclosed by the company. Most of them are overseen by the non-profit Apache Software Foundation. (See the list at the bottom of this article for some that Apple hasnt discussed before.) Among the few that Apple has been talked about publicly are Hadoop, which is data-analysis software, and Mesos, which allows developers to run thousands of containers on the same cluster of Web servers, for Siri; and Solr, which aids in the searching and indexing of text-based data, for Siri, Maps, and the iTunes store. Apple has contributed code to, and talked about its use of, Cassandra, which is a distributed database management system to handle structured data. (The group of engineers who provide Cassandra to various Apple Web services also fall under Mr. Gates.) In the past, Apple has also open sourced older technologies like WebKit for Web browsers and contributed to LLVM, a compiler that helps developers produce basic code. It also recently joined the Open Compute Project, a group dedicated to sharing data center hardware designs, but it isnt actually required to share information. None of Apples open-source usage is surprising because its what all major Web companies are doing. But Apple has made a special effort of keeping most of it quiet, for reasons that go back to Steve Jobs and the priorities of its communications and product marketing groups. They believed that Apples products and top executives should be the primary public stars of the company, and that its generally nobody elses business to know what kind of tech Apple uses. And, culturally, Apple at its core is still a device and operating system company, not a Web-services company. This means that Apple employees attending Web technology conferences often arent allowed to be identified as Apple employees or present some of their technical learnings, even if it can help them recruit engineers. Apple sometimes requires engineers submitting code to open-source products to do so through a third party rather than let Apple be affiliated with the code. One person whos been through the process says they felt that submitting code to an open-source project like Mesos or Hadoop is generally frowned upon by managers at Apple. But the process has gotten easier over time, people who have participated in the process say. Like many other conservative companies, Apple tried to talk to the Apache Foundation about making changes to its licensing terms in order to protect Apple contributions. To no avail. Part of Apples fear is that if outsiders know what kind of open source tech its using for specific products, that might make it harder to bring legal claims against people who infringe on the IP of those products. These practices have been a drag on Apple in term of recruiting. The company has consistently tried to hire some of the best coders involved with open source tech, but in most cases those coders have refused, say people whove been involved in the efforts. Thats because in the open source world, engineers want to contribute code back to the community, with their name on it. Its like a résumé-builder. (Its how Apple found such potential recruits in the first place.) Signs of Change Still, there have been signs of change. In April, Bill Stasior, who joined Apple to lead Siri from Amazon.com three years ago, took the rare step of permitting two Siri engineers to disclose in a public engineering meetup at Apples headquarters that Siri was using Mesos software. That disclosure, which quickly made headlines in the tech blogosphere, disappointed some in the companys product marketing group, which apparently hadnt given its blessing ahead of time, says one person briefed on the matter. The Mesos disclosure came days before the launch of the Apple Watch, where Siri plays a key role. After the launch, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh made reference on his show to the new back end that Apples used to improve Siri, causing more consternation among Apples messaging minders over the initial Mesos disclosure, this person says. Since then, Apple has embraced its association with Mesos, and Siri engineers made another presentation at a recent Mesos-focused conference in Seattle. Now, the hope is that Mr. Gates can usher in a new era of solidarity among Apples Web-infrastructure engineers and break down some of the restrictions on their participation in the open source community. Selected open-source technology and support thats used (but not necessarily disclosed) by Apple for its Web products: The standard Hadoop stack (for storing and processing large data sets) is used for things like Apple Maps, Apple Music and iTunes store recommendations and search. The stack includes HDFS, MapReduce and Zookeeper. Apple has a support contract with Cloudera, a firm that helps companies use Hadoop, according to two people with direct knowledge. HBase, a type of database that sits on top of Hadoop. It helps power Apple Maps, Siri and Apple Music. Elasticsearch, which helps with search indexing for Apple Maps Riak, a kind of NoSQL database, was used to develop iMessage. Kafka, which is known as a message system that helps process streams of data generated by Web services and can help with things like Web-search indexing. It was used by a startup called Topsy that Apple bought and integrated into its spotlight search feature, one person says. Its also used by Apple Maps and Apple Music. Azkaban, known as a job scheduler that helps developers visually schedule tasks involving processing big data. Voldemort, a type of database. https://www.theinformation.com/apple-unifies-cloud-services-platform-amid-open-source-push

was gonna get new macbook but now am thinking iPad Pro instead * got turbo desktop already and work is increasingly cloud, a terminal and a browser is pretty much all I use on the go these days * iPad will be about the same size and weight with a lot more battery life and a lot less maintenance hassle * wife and I have all personal docs in iWork, media on a server that we AirPlay to our TVs (music, photos, videos etc) * I fart around in Procreate all the time and love it even though it's hobbled by janky stylus support, iPad Pro stylus should be 100x better and Adobe/Autodesk could do some really cool poo poo with it (although software selection and pen will both be a lot better next year in v2) * iOS9 multitasking looks smartly designed and is probably 95% fine for what I need on mobile (e.g. not 6 screens worth of code, consoles, charts, logs etc) in short iPad Pro is a land of Suits My Needs - I think who else is getting in on this
