To analyze and understand Apple's move (and it's not just Apple, they are probably the one people complain the most about because they tend to have a far smaller product range being used by a higher number of people), one must thi

Just pointing out that this is now becoming a trend and you'll start seeing even more, especially for vendors just making for the high end market and with just a couple of models. Running the risk of being completely wrong, a watershed

True, but everyone buying into Apple's App Store (both iOS as well as OS X and now MacOS) should already know that there is no alternative and that they are locked in if they want to keep using their purchases.

Why is Apple taking so much flak? They aren't even the first and no strangers on pulling this kind of move when it messes up with their vision and plans for hardware. LeEco's latest smartphones and the new Moto Z all ditched the 3

Would it be fair to say that we expect people to really like solving problems, and implementing the solutions, rather than being passionate about coding? I really, REALLY, enjoy solving problems that will make people's lives easier and

Could they be patenting it to prevent others from doing so? They'll probably make some money out of it, to fund more research, but hopefully any deal with pharmaceutical companies should have some pricing clause to make this widely aff

Wonder if when times are better, pilots get good raises... But is there anything as "better times" for these kind of companies (as opposed to startups and other technology based ones) when it comes to prize their employees when management a

So why should I trust someone who asks me to type my password into a random site? Just because he/she says they will not save it? If you've entered your real password(s) there, you've already failed the test. Also a whois on that domain doe

Regarding timelines, just bear in mind that is better to be ROUGHLY right that EXACTLY wrong. As it has been said already, always give yourself a considerable buffer beyond the time that was estimated and that you ought to try to breakdown

A lot of people cannot accept the fact that they or those under their command commit mistakes. Even if they didn't do it personally, they have to take personal responsibility for those under them, for the good and for the bad.

Yes and I wouldn't recommend it if you have visitors with old computers and your HTML isn't rather simple (depth and multiple class names for an element). It will make older computers (+5 years... or even less, depends on the hardware) simp
