I don't know, I think they will take the same approach they have tried for most of their products since they released the original iPod. They will wait for the market to mature and, if it does, create something exceptional with broad a

What you are describing is a pretty poor pairing interview process. I did a bunch of really frustrating whiteboard type interviews and sudo pairing interviews like you describe before interviewing for my current position [1]. The screen is

Flycut [1] pretty much works just as you describe including the keyboard shortcut (shift+cmd+v is the equivalent on the mac). It's installed on every single Mac at my office and works really well. Now go buy yourself a shiny new mac t

If you are asking if Swift is ready for prime time I'd say that it is. Of course there are many more considerations than that when decided on what language to use for a project. Consider your experience, timeline expectations and if yo
