thanks 4 all the memories. and the good reads in the office or on the commode. or whatever else place you like to read !! http://hypercritical.co/2015/04/15/os-x-reviewed quote:Nearly 15 years ago, I wrote my first review of Mac OS X for a nascent “PC enthusiast’s" website called Ars Technica. Nearly 15 years later, I wrote my last. Though Apple will presumably announce the next major version of OS X at WWDC this coming June, I won’t be reviewing it for Ars Technica or any other publication, including the website you’re reading now. who is ur favroite to pick up the torch.

i am unironically sad about this. i really liked how his reviews would cover everything from the visual design and application level stuff all the way down into the developer tools and system level changes.

that's really sad, his attention to detail and rigor made for fantastic reads i remember on hypercritical he mentioned he dictated the bulk of each review, which is just crazy

Siracusa knew his technical stuff but also knew how to generalize it enough to make it interesting to luddites. I'd like to see Mike Ash review OS X but from his Q & A blog posts, his writing is way too technical for a general audience that Ars shoots for.
