Apple is seemingly getting further and futher behind.


apple getting further , further behind on software/os seems.

right out of gate, windows 10 cortana more out of box siri, , siri has been out few years now. google keeps improving, while apple insists on improving siri once year ios releases. have admit, cortana come out swinging (i have dell xps 13 w/ windows 10 use side business) , i'm impressed. google gives me info without asking it. cortana more on day 1 siri has in last few years. siri still isn't on desktops yet.

google maps vs apple maps. apple maps still not snuff.

google photos - machine learning , automagic algorithms vs apple photos making me work. gave on tagging "faces" apple since 90, while apple find other 10. it's ridiculous. google photos has sorted out, no tagging me. it's has places ready go. brilliant. guess can free data give google. apple's strategy means have nothing work with.

skype vs facetime. multi platform unlike facetime. whether, i'm @ work pc, iphone, ipad, imac @ home, or dell xps, skype there. apple has bad strategy here.

while love apple's hardware, there software little desired. see why puts apple's apps on last page of devices, , load them google/microsoft. simple more, nicer, , updated throughout year new features, instead of once year os update.

i'm looking forward 6s+, ios 9 being bug/stability release (and downhill trajectory of apple's software quality last couple of years), it's nothing write home about, @ least we'll more functionality. can't wait until apple's september event.

may our last dance.
 

a mac forum may not best choice discuss :) . however, leave "apple ecosystem" ( been there, done 6+ years ) , have many personal , technical reasons this. current mbp last 1 , current iphone last 1 well. let's see happens ipad ;) . , other apple devices own.

there seem lot of happy apple users well. each it's own.

Safari and keyword search extensions (or apps)

i use 2 things safari: fastscripts cmd-# shortcuts tabs in safari firefox/chrome (which not necessary in el capitan, thankfully), , safari keyword search keyword searching in bar (e.g., "wp spokane" searches wikipedia article spokane , goes if/when possible). latter: safari keyword search abandonware. creator has nothing on home page nor github in years. there little bug where, inexplicably, dumps saved keywords, requiring manual reimports. i've tried omnikey , don't based on how can't handle encoding of spaces in search strings, how stores saved entries. keysearch: don't know how handles spaces in searches. may abandonware, has not had major update since updated safari 6 years ago. glims: don't know if still around. overkill anyway. have other suggestions on minimalist, still-supported utility keyword searching in address bar? nice able "wp" , "i" , "a" wikipedia / google image / ama...
