On Android you can mail a file, people click on the attachment, click allow installation and they're done. I'm not saying it's better, in fact I think TestFlight may have many other useful features that this crude method does

I'm always surprised when people complain about the slowness of the emulator and they haven't tried genymotion or the x86 emulator. I mean, they're tools developed for your job, learn to use them! It would be like coding usin

There is something I don't understand about Bitcoin: right now there is a lot of instability in the exchange rate of Bitcoin and everyday currency like dollars, euros, or pounds, from the graph I checked from here[1]. How can it be a v

Would you have the same reaction if you were using undocumented APIs in Windows or iPhone private APIs and then they changed them? There is an unofficial way and that is putting your device in developer mode.

I see that you prefer downvoting rather then having a discussion, so I will stop here. Edit: Apologies, I didn't know that rule, it was obviously someone else.

None of them was using google+, though. Google+ is not going away (it's a big source for ranking and more) and this project leverages (I suppose) most of the existing infrastructure.

Remembering the analysis on what google shuts down and what it doesn't: if it's social and linked to google+, the chances are very low. IF it starts (and that's a big if), it allows to get revenue (as a percentage of the fee

True, but by definition a good programmer should take non English names into account. ;-) It is more an example of random prejudice introduced by a programmer. In that case I retract some of my points.

I partly disagree for the following reasons: 1) If the programmer is good the computer COULD show prejudices. It's not an implication. I can be a racist bigot, but if I'm a good programmer I will not prevent login for the users 晴輝
