Response to: Dog food

The way you sample direct quotes from ARS' recent review of Tiger without shame or attribution is truly inspiring....


From TFA: (in talking about QuickTime)


"When Carbon was first being developed, Apple chose to base one of its "important" applications on the new API to prove its usefulness: the Finder. In the software industry, this is poetically called "eating your own dog food." Any long-time Mac OS X user knows how things turned out in the case of the Finder, but the dog food concept itself is a sound one."

    If you google the phrase "eating your own dog food" you find numerous references to it that have nothing to do with the Mac and everything to do with software development.

    That is not a direct quote, or even an indirect one. Eating your own dog food is a commonly applied term when talking about a company building products in its own new tools and APIs. You'll hear more of it, accusing them all of lifting the idea is silly.
