Oh man, why? In terms of security power, how did Apple screw up Mac OSX Yosemite like that with the real technical betrayals like your personal data is collected and stored on the servers for some unknown bullshit for usage of certain services on this OS like Spotlight? This is something I should have blogged earlier and this is going to be a reminder of the Unity search feature with Amazon for Unity 7 for Ubuntu which will be corrected with Unity 8 in terms of security that makes Amazon not only the search engine to choose from as Amazon for Unity 7 search engine is the default one but at least you can get out of Unity easily by choosing the alternative interface for Ubuntu like I'm already using or perhaps the Windows 8 and 8.1 search feature in the Start Screen which does the same bullshit as what Spotlight in Mac OSX Yosemite does.
This is starting to get worse for Spotlight for Mac OSX Yosemite as it is seriously vulnerable for any cyber-criminals to use it to steal your stuffs or something. That is absolutely stupid! Who the hell leaves the app, OS or service so vulnerable that it attracts cyber-criminals to intrude the Mac users like that? Is someone on the side of the customers or perhaps, the cyber-criminals? You may ask yourself or someone on who at Apple does he side with?
Perhaps, there may be guides on how to opt-out of this bullshit for Mac OSX Yosemite just like you can with Ubuntu 12.xx onwards but for those using Windows 8 or 8.1 for desktops or laptops, perhaps, the alternative will be to use the 3rd-party start menu, not the start screen even if the Start button is there.

New Skype for Windows and Mac OSX
OK, a new version of Skype for Windows and OSX, you say? Well, this one's for the desktop edition for Windows users and we don't know if this app can switch to the modern UI version when in tablet mode, that is for some Windows 10 ability. There were some web browsers for Windows 8 in which you can switch between desktop and tablet modes with the use of the menus but it doesn't seem to be automatic in hardware when switching in between modes like switching to laptop mode should automatically switch to the desktop version of the web browser from tablet version for instance.
This new version surely has the new UI but since this is the desktop version, is it that necessary to make the buttons even larger like that just for the sake of touchscreen? In fact, the app is highly comfortable for mobile devices like the phones and tablets as if they are multiple ways to use Skype and especially when you make phone calls with it. The new UI is surely the reflection to Microsoft today and especially that some of the services will be renamed as well such as Onedrive, Azure and even Intune. The word, Windows, will be discarded of course and it looks like the new logos consist of the four different squares in different colors with the Modern font just like the recent Microsoft logo.

Apple says that users have bought Android by mistake
Will there be a serious fan-war or something over these two platforms? So, what are the problems Android is having nowadays? The first thing is that Android OS may seem to be the target for the amount of malwares due to the apps from outside the Play Store in which the custom apps can be installed through Package Installation similar to the way you install in Linux. Android 4.3 is the first OS to start simplifying the interface visually and Android 4.4 is like the most recent one so comparison between IOS 7 and Android 4.4 is a strange thing. What about the Android 4.3 that was part of the comparison? Well, the thing is, Android 4.4 is already the recent one in the Android series OSes for both the phones and tablets but not all Android devices can be upgraded to the latest versions and that's the thing. Also, I can't guarantee if you are going to upgrade your Android device to the latest Android OS the non-official way.
But then, the encryption of the Google services is already at the beginning at the next level to improve the security but it's already taking companies like Google some time to finish implementing all the security improvement plans.
Bing being the default search engine in Mac OSX 10.10
What happens to the rivalry nowadays between Apple and Microsoft? And why the hate on Google by then? Is security issue the reason on why someone at Microsoft was bashing the hell out of Google? With this collaboration between Apple and Microsoft as friendlies instead of rivals, they've better do good this time with their Mac OSX 10.10 as well as the service encryption at higher levels that will protect their customers' rights and put some unsecured and pointless Google services to shame. Another promising thing is that Bing is receiving some momentum thanks to Mac OSX, Siri and Windows 8 but then, there shouldn't be a mockery of Windows 8 and 8.1 in the first place on stage during the event. The main problem for causing this mockery was on how heavily criticized Windows 8 was when released and some of the criticisms are still intact with Windows 8.1. The amount of Windows 8 users is probably decreasing as many users have upgraded to Windows 8.1 as if the mockery by Apple is kind of as inaccurate as a mistake. Have they included Windows 8.1 in the mockery as well? Hell, how about someone pretending to resume the Google bashing to see how this can anger the amount of Google users?
The information about features for IOS 8 and Mac OSX 10.10 can be seen at Neowin site as there may be too much information to blog about.

WWDC of this year for Apple
A good move from Apple in terms of the way they use the features? Somebody had the advise of not to merge IOS and Mac OSX into Mac OSX 10.10 like what Windows 8 is in multiple modes? If that's the case of Mac OSX 10.10, you will still get into Desktop Mode after logging in and of course, the Launchpad or whatever it is where you can see the amount of apps has made things easier to browse through although the classic way is that you can launch the apps through the Dock or perhaps the Search Spotlight. On Ubuntu, you can launch the applications the classic way through the menu on top but with Unity, the OS is starting to behave like another Mac OSX kind of OS but with Linux features. Windows 8 on the other hand, you get different ways to launch the desktop apps through the Start Screen but by having two multiple modes in one OS, it is already a disastrous idea for all types of computers. The desktop mode is still as touch un-friendly as it is on the tablet but for desktop and laptop users, the tablet mode interface is completely out of place. To solve the disaster, it looks like Apple is planning to have the Mac OSX versions of various features that were already in IOS.
Also, there will be easier connection between Mac OSX and IOS devices. There was AirDrop for both of these platforms but there was no way to transfer data in between. Perhaps, there will be a way to transfer for real as ITunes is kind of limited for that. Plus, the Apple Maps was like a disaster back then that Google Maps took over. The only positive thing about taking out Google Maps from IOS is that it is for the sake of security and that app doesn't belong to Apple as it is not the first-party app. Yes, the app came back as the third-party app but we can try to make sure that Apple does something right with the new version of Apple Maps.
TextEdit and Preview for IOS will be available in the future where you can edit documents that are in Mac OSX but how will that work? Will that require the new AirDrop? If so, it may be better than using the ICloud to do all that editing of the documents.
Other features include the Soundhound like feature that is part of Siri where you can identify songs by holding the Home button, Windows 8-style multi-tasking, AirDisplay like feature where you can use your Ipad as the second display although the performance won't be that good that way as I may assume it's remote desktop powered.
The last brave thing from Apple is that they will be coming out with the ARM-based Macbook although I don't know if that will overheat or not since the CPU fan will not be included on that thing. Tablets don't seem to overheat or something as I know of. The event will start tomorrow at 10AM Pacific Time, 1PM Eastern and 6PM BST.
And, what the hell is wrong with Microsoft like that when it comes to Windows 8 and 8.1? We got THE DISASTROUS COMBINATION meaning to say Desktop Mode + Touch Mode into one whole disaster, but not this upcoming separation from Mac OSX 10.10 with cleaner UI? But that doesn't mean that I had regrets in using them because Windows 8 was supposed to be part of my New Year's Resolution two years ago. And of course, anything you do to the client OS in terms of OS developement will affect the other counterparts too such as the embedded or server OS.

WWDC by Apple
Call this the teaser blog post as further details of the upcoming products will be revealed by Apple that there's nothing to blog about at this moment. The only thing to blog about will be the fact that the next versions of IOS and MAC OSX will be coming out in the future. IOS 8 will be coming out this year or something. Previously, some of the apps bundled with IOS 8 will have the major overhaul as well as the upcoming apps for that version such as Textedit.
The conference event will take place in San Franscisco in June 2-6.
