I'd rather call it unfinished than subpar. But taht cannot be the just fication to not release it especially if you are in the open source domain? That is where you solicit early feedback, allow people to see and play with the code which it

It's over 10 year old operating system already. Software has its shelf life. I can't blame them for wanting to not spread their support matrix too wide.

Whatever the reason is, you need to realize that the current owner of the TMO, sold it because it was more lucrative to get the money ATT is offering rather than run the service. Which means the current price pressure was getting to them. S

If you are asked to do perl, fakebases nad activeX in your early days and enjoy it. That's fine. If you don't like it you can always reject the next assignemtn .But you have rejected after knowing that you did it and you didn't like it. Tha

Not toil and sweat but as a fresh graduate do you really have enough experience to make decision about culture? And that too based only on a couple of interviewers? Not working on windows because you don't agree with its design philosophies

As an end user, I'd appreciate a closed and controlled operating ystem like iOS or Windows Phone 7. But as a developer or hacker I don't understand Google's hypocricy here. By Rubi's own definition of what is open, the definition of open: “

In that case there is no reason for any distro of linux to exist. Just one should be enough. There is a lot of reinventio in the space of linux and that is a good thing IMO. This is just a beginning. A first attempt at what they want to do.

Ok I must admit I am by no means an AAPL fanboy. Quite the contrary actually. I hate how Jobs and company likes to get its users drunk with the Kool-Aid. But a credit should be given where it's due. Have you seen something as innovative and
