Well, surely there exist some police officers/detectives/etc who see their personal career as more important than the ideals of their profession. It would also seem reasonable that, on average, these officers are better at advancing to powe

Agreed. A simple one-image visualization example (can be part of design/background, even) of what you'll send me when you're done collecting data would go a long way to explaining what you're doing, exactly.

I ended up with IE8 because I ran Windows Update, not because I had some desire to get a new IE. Exactly. Chrome updates faster because it does it with zero user input. It just happens whenever spare resources are available and politely

If you want it, you get it. The people who want it are irrelevant. So are the people who don't want it. Both are minorities compared to the people who don't care, and just pick the default option. Chrome's default is to silently upgrade,

Come to think of it, perhaps it's more like a "lean back" production device. Actually, I think it's more a slab of touchscreen with a minimalistic app manager. What you do with it is up to you ;)

It's been awhile since I've done iPhone development, but it seems this is available starting in iOS4: http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/documentation/Grap... It's hard to find engineers who can work on products like iOS, so I thin

The strategy behind both Nike's and Apple's branding is much further expounded on in a great film called Art & Copy. I highly recommend it. Nike's message is "just do it". It isn't about hanging out with athletes, it's appreciating aspi

We shall see how well it works out for them to be the brand for people who aren't fond of rules...computer geeks excepted. I think we see it pretty well already, no? People who think they can change the world aren't the kind who care whet

I wonder if he'd gone with the single-heap-for-all-apps idea, whether or not it would have encouraged program interoperability?

Err, some people might care, and you could even make money producing/selling it, but Apple/Nokia/HTC won't.

I'd imagine Apple's uses a capacitor, so the intensity of the light is indeed continuous.
