It also seems that the Mac interface which we have all loved for so long and when Steve Jobs said OS X was so gorgeous "you want to lick it" is no longer the case. in my opinion it wants to be an entertainment company. It wants to sell consumer machines and not enterprise class machines. It is also obvious that it is trying to hide as much of the OS as possible.
It seems obvious that Apple is trying to develop one code base for iOS and OS X. Xbench 1.3 benchmarking of my iMac10,1 Intel iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) against OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
the screen saver can no longer access your iPhoto library,.Safari will no longer serve as an RSS reader,.web sharing is no longer available in the Sharing System Preference, however the web server is still there.It is a huge change from the OS X we know. If you do not like Lion (OS X 10.7) you will hate Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.) For me, I believe everyone should give it a pass until 10.8.1 if then. I have run every version of Mountain Lion on my iMac and am currently running the "Golden Master." Even some that did not see the light of day (and for good reason.) What I am about to relate is a personal view and is not that of OIT or UT. I have seen and run every OS that Apple has on platforms named Macintosh. Will Apple's next generation iPhone 5 finally be the one that will introduce NFC? Only time will tell. One of these fine days, future iDevices will finally support NFC and when they do - watch out, because Apple will open the floodgates and release a new generation of applications noted in this report and others like their forthcoming iWallet. Further, Apple's invention runs deep and they envision NFC ready iDevices being able to control standalone cameras, projectors, in-home security systems, lawn sprinkler systems, your thermostat, garage door and more. This would really be a boost for Apple if users were able to play high end RPG video styled games with a standard styled controller.
The updated Apple TV could one day control cable or satellite television programming and video game play via a video game controller. Our report mainly focuses on the new system as it relates to an iDevice controlling and interacting with a possible standalone television in addition to an expanded version of Apple's current Apple TV styled device. On July 26, 2012, the US Patent & Trademark Office published yet another extraordinary patent application from Apple that reveals new details regarding Apple's future iPhone-NFC controls system. To load Deducer, go to 'Packages & Data' > 'Package Manager' and select Deducer and DeducerExtras.įor more on R you can check OIT's Bob Muenchen's website r4stats or check out his book, R for SAS and SPSS Users. Install.packages(c("JGR","Deducer","DeducerExtras")) Installation of Deducer is much like any other package in R. Deducer is designed to be used with JGR, though it supports a number of other R environments.
Deducer also allows you to build plots using the ggplot2 framework via its GUI plot builder, providing a large selection of graph types and elegant data visualization. It uses menus and dialogs for data manipulation and analysis to increase the efficiency of expert R users when performing common tasks by replacing lines of programming codes with a few points and clicks. Deducer provides a GUI for the open-source statistical package R that encourages less-technical users to learn and perform analyses in the R environment without writing code.
