Safari repeatedly crashed when it was redirected to Starhub’s login.now portal (Firefox survived). In fact, OS X didn’t know how to handle the disconnect from “SHARE2” upon wakeup, I just got the spinning beachball of death for about five minutes before deciding to reboot the machine. How dismal.<\/p>\n
In contrast, Linux just disconnected the mounted Samba share and let me continue on with my work. I also got connected to the Starhub portal all thanks to NetworkManager (whose icons are way better than the Internet Connect widget that Apple ships).<\/p>\n
All this while awaiting my flight from SIN -> KUL. And kudos to the Singapore Airport, which now seems to have WiFi everywhere not just in their certain powered areas. I did all this while awaiting to board my flight at the boarding gate itself.<\/p>\n
Linux: 1, Apple: 0<\/p>\n
