Except it's nothing like right click at all other than that it brings up a menu on homescreen icons. In case you need proof - consider the multitasking gesture of pressing a little harder at the edge of the display and pulling to the s

Remember - the discussion is about what platform is dominant. The fact that messaging is implemented an app doesn't change that. New developments occur on iOS first for a reason.

What Pro apps does that allow you to run?

This is already demonstrably false. The iPad is already in use for professional purposes, and if you'd watched it, you have seen the stage demo prove you wrong.

They are underpowered even for running android apps and are used almost exclusively as messaging devices.

The numbers of android include huge numbers of unusable devices that exist to displace feature phones. Don't kid yourself about what this means.

And has a dramatically better display, and all day battery, and no noisy fan.

The surface pro is a failure. Apple didn't make a pro tablet earlier because they understood the correct time to introduce such a product.

You do realize that the iPad was the first mass market multi-touch tablet, and that the Samsung and Microsoft tablets were introduced as a response to its success?

There are no serious pro Android apps, and Chrome Apps are not touch typically designed for touch, so this changes nothing.

This is flatly false. There are numerous programming environments available on iOS, and it has the JavaScript environment with the most advanced available JIT built in.

If they do, they'll be being intellectually dishonest, given that 'Pro' has been part of Apple's naming scheme for a decade. 'Mac Pro', 'MacBook Pro', 'iPad Pro'. Microsoft wasn't even

Because those systems have no good touch enabled software.

Are you seriously suggesting that anything more than a tiny fraction of Windows apps are any good on a touch device?

He was right for phones. You are quoting him out of context. Why?

If Whatsapp was worth 19B it's easy to see the ISA being worth at least that much. edit: for what possible reason can this be downvoted? It's just a datapoint.

With 30 years of additional development time, you'd expect some advances.

It's very different. Much harder to detect and doesn't have the moral implication of damaging a human's eyes.

This is a great argument which implicitly favors maximizing privilege for the already rich.

It should also be all caps. There is no reason why personally written email needs two cases.

It's no answer at all, and it's certainly not a foregone conclusion. They could easily just blame it on a rogue employee etc, and there is absolutely no reason to believe that they would lose business, since competitors would be

The fact that it works has nothing to do with people 'wanting' it or having a collective voice. It merely comes from a lack of alternatives.

The population has had moral objections primarily because of the agitating of the owning classes.

This makes no sense. Computers are made of centrally manufactured components, and are regularly replaced by new ones as technology advances. This applies to CPU's too and is in no way mitigated by FPGAs.

You clearly didn't read the article, which repeatedly states that GCD is not just a thread pool with a nice API. The whole point of it is that GCD is a lot more efficient than that because it is optimized across the whole system. Th

How exactly do FPGAs do antything at all to reduce the role of central manufacturing?

That's not a commitment, and neither does it imply 4 years, since only 50% of 17 year olds currently have a license and that figure has been dropping anyway.

Do you have a reference for that commitment?

How do you foresee the decentralized production of CPUs being achieved?
