But considering GvR works for Dropbox and tweeted this out a few minutes back, they do have his backing.

But his point is not about Apple being different but about Google's fans eating the kumbaya thing up.

-- snip -- Now, Apple pessimism is even stronger. No matter what they release and no matter how well it sells, they won’t win over the press, the pundits, the stock market, or the rhetoric. Not this year. They could release a revolutionary

Here's my blame attribution 10% - The guys. Yea, a bit moronic to make a private adult joke that can be heard by others in a professional setting. But even in a real job setting, they'd just get a reprimand from HR and that'll straighten mo

Before you put your data in this, make sure there's a way out because Google has the nasty habit of discontinuing its stuff.

I feel sick to my stomach. There's are openings in my company but I can't get your case past HR. They wouldn't want to be associated with a red flag. Hope you land on your feet.

Wall of text from sources I have subscribed. When I press 'f' it embiggens that text to cover the whole screen. j/k for navigation. If he had spent a couple of minutes on Google Reader he'd know.

The guy who was fired (Kiruba Shankar) is an empty suit. Here is a cease and desist letter from Wikimedia to him a couple of years back -- http://wiki.wikimedia.in/Announcements/Cease_and_Desist_Lett...

Remember he usually calls half-cooked products or apps as "turd"s.

They should atleast release the monospace as beta.

The problem with many explanations is that people who write them have forgotten how it is to not know Bayes Theorem. Here is my humble attempt as to where people who want to grok Bayes theorem can start: Imagine you have been locked inside

I don't get the last point. It's a level playing field. If it's more work for other developers, it's more work for you too.

You don't need iTunes if you are controlling Apple TV with an iOS device. In fact I'd think that's the common usage.

If you have the actual numbers, it would probably obey the Pareto distribution. Essentially few rockstar developers make big money and most of them don't succeed. \Didn't read the article.

How long till Google buys Xamarin?

Yes. Multiple opportunities to take the high road.

I agree, though, as founders of geeklist.. the two gents are held to a higher standard and they utterly failed. It seems Shanley interviewed with them initially and didn't get the job? Maybe, that's the start of the issue.

Well. in actuality the $4B is paid according to Pareto distribution ( Pareto principle). That means a small chunk of developers with highly successful apps are going to get a large chunk of that $4B. This makes Apple's claim actually worse.

Apple had the second biggest quarter by a company ever. It's good journalism to acknowledge not only the great aspects of Apple - design, products, marketing but also acknowledge the unsavory parts of how these companies have to rely on bru

Since Microsoft, Apple cartel bought the Nortel patents aren't they exactly behaving like patent trolls ( Intellectual Ventures ) in this context? You have to be wilfully ignorant not to see the similarity.

I doubt it's going to work. What is going to prevent state from becoming a totalitarian authority? The state is going to attract sociopaths and power crazy individuals. Democracy is probably the system which can do the least damage.
