No, they didn't do it because Apple was already paying them to use their maps. If they came out with their own Google Maps application that had feature parity with the Android app, I would imagine that most iOS users would switch immediatel

In general, the people who have 2nd vacation homes buy single family houses or condominium apartments. They don't rent, because that doesn't get them ownership of anything. The 2nd home is generally a more speculative investment than anyt

No, I'm saying that that the concept, if executed properly, would not make money. Sadly, it probably will. I'm saying that it just won't work on a technical level. Molyneux has a history of making promises and then not delivering on any o

It's not the clamshell design that's the problem, I think. I think it's other parts, like the charging apparatus. The magsafe-like charging connector is pretty much identical in appearance to Apple's design. I would be surprised if Apple

What can Airbnb do? They're not a party to any agreement that a landlord has with their tenants, and I don't think they want that. You're a landlord. You mentioned in another thread here that you have a strict "no subletting" clause in yo

I don't think it's that much of an issue, really. The problem isn't on Airbnb's end. It's on the renters that are giving up their rental property without examining the contracts that they signed. Airbnb could probably be treated the same

There were a few remote execution holes in iOS' Webkit implementation that were mostly used to jailbreak phones. I'm not sure how quickly those were detected and patched, though.

#4 is also platform dependent. Longs are 32 bits on Windows(both 32 and 64), but are 32 for Linux 32-bit and 64 for Linux 64-bit. So the answer could be B or C there.

The problem really is that all three of those fields(law, taxes, and health) are highly personal. To get to the right answer in most non-trivial situations, a lot more personal information is required. Because of that, while anecdotes are
