I don't know Apple's policies regarding their forums, but it doesn't really matter.... by your logic i shouldn't have been able to even find a single post on the subject, especially since some appeared to be somewhat old. If you don't believe me, go there yourself;
AHAHAHAHA - that article says it DOES support Case-sensitivity. And unlike you (who obviously doesn't have MacOSX i do).
To quote that article;
...and even more hilarious - you think this is evidence to support your claims. What a laughable joke! Even most of the comments are way out of date, off the mark.

Mac OS X/HFS+ case-insensitive? Why?
I just found out that HFS+, the preferred file system for Mac OS X, is case-insensitive when it comes to files and directories. I don't understand why? It's sure as hell causing issues with stuff I'm copying from my Ubuntu PC.
Just seems like a dumb idea.

Furthermore, i was pointing out your old post to showcase how you moved onto another topic, when challenged on your point of view, you were also told in that thread by someone else that HFS+ gives you the option of case-sensitivity or not ~ you just choose to ignore FACTS. (and here we are years later, and you are still just as ignorant on the reality of this stuff, and are dumb enough to argue with people who KNOW better).
....and to further show that you are wrong -> Although, i forgot my MacBook Pro at the office on Friday (and i'm not driving for an hour to prove you wrong) - i do also have a 10.6.8 SL VM that will work just fine;
Are you still going to argue this now, are you really that ignorant (and/or moronic)? (i would hope not). And if you are going to argue that SL is newer, and this wasn't true in 2008 - just try me bud - i still have the MacOSX 10.5 leopard ISO (release date 2007) and can boot it up into VMware and take a sceenshot. You just have no idea what you are talking about and it is PAINFULLY obvious to anyone who is ACTUALLY familiar with the technology.

HFS (Mac OS Standard), HFS+ (Mac OS Extended) and HFSX (Mac OS Extended with case sensitive file names).
Where you get the idea that Apple doesn't have the 'man power' to develop it on their own, is beyond me. Apple is fucking rich, and can hire whom ever they like - and in fact did so, when developing MacOSX. They hired some Sun Microsystems programmers initially to work alongside their own programmers, which was a good idea. If code is good and can be used / adapted and fits the purpose, almost any programmer i know would use it over starting from scratch - unless their were technical reasons to not do so. ~ ever heard the phrase "stop re-inventing the wheel", there are reasons why a statement like that exists....
and AFAIK most if not all OSes rely on third-party developers for their platform. Look at how many companies MS has purchased over the years, those companies were '3rd parties' whose technology ultimately become apart of MS' platform (and MS bought them, instead of writing something similar from scratch, which goes back to what i said above. Unix and Linux have also relied on many third parties, this is common stuff. - how you've come to the conclusion this isn't the case, i have no clue. All i can do is laugh at how stupid that is...
Clearly, you are just talking out your ass and don't even have a clue as to what you are talking about. You come off as just an Apple-hater.
