I'm in academia too and if XCode 4 doesn't come with Lion, I would gladly pay from my pocket for it. Imagine that I would put the bureaucracy machine of a university or institute for 5 bucks is ludicrous. Our salaries are lower but we are not below the poverty line.
- astrodust 16y agoI'd hope that in academia your term paper isn't held up waiting for a couple of new white board markers, or a ream of paper because your requisition form wasn't approved. It's somewhat discouraging that Apple is charging for what used to be provided at no cost. Still, if Apple can't make five bucks on a product that other companies sell for hundreds, what hope do any other developers have?
- bioinformatics 16y agoWe usually don't have problems with markers or paper, the department has a stock of that. There's no lack of money in academia, just wasteful spending. Wait and see if Lion comes with XCode. Then we can say they are actually charging for it.
