I think this IS C++ specific. ObjectiveC has a much smaller call site complexity penalty.

No, the BOM is the price of all the components at the expected volumes of the given manufacturer. That's like saying the cost of dinner at a fancy restaurant was the shoppers grocery bill. There is the staff costs and storage/movement costs

iOS has always had different screen sizes: When someone tethered or in a call, the app dropped several pixels of vertical real estate. Now, many apps didn't handle this, but this is really "more of stuff you should have been doing", not rea

It's a very very pretty screen. People are going to be chasing that.

30pin dock connectors are designed to allow easy connections to the device by 3rd party devices (and to allow the collection of licensing fees from them, which are unlikely in the event of using a standard connector).

The point of the 30 pin adapter is to make it easy as sin to make 3rd party components. The rewiring to go from the old 30pin to the new lightning doesn't appear to be very large. To go from analog/multichannel digital to USB is a relativel

Lightning is just a redo of the 30 pin dock connector. It's STILL a 30 pin dock connector. The point of a 30 pin dock connector is to make it so it's easy as hell to make 3rd party accessories for the devices, which you'll notice are legion

It is going to allow you to use slightly more familiar syntax You're still going to have to learn and use all the libraries in your iPhone app in ObjC If you have crushing large amounts of business logic, you might see gains

This isn't half bad. (From someone who did this for a living at one point) Btw, if you're writing a USB driver, most of the time the device uses HID, even though that's for a completely different type of device then what HID is supposed to

That was a horrible style of management. I would never listen to this guy, either. I would never buy from Opsware until Horowitz is gone.

Twitter (and to a degree facebook) feels more and more like "just someone I can authenticate with" and less a platform.

I think retina is very possible still: iPad 2012 is 264 ppi at 9.7 inches Gruber got a 7.85 in measurement somewhere (I think from a past article of his). 264ppi / 7.85 * 9.7 = 326 ppi i.e., if they made a 7.85in iPad Mini, it would have th

Google 550g and 500 g While the former is less common, you still see 17% of people using it. Looks like either is valid.

I think that older generations are unaware the current generation's grammar skills are not particularly bad or good, just more likely to be explicitly tested. I know plenty of 30 and 40 year olds who write like crap, with horrible grammar.

You're just looking at the income tax. You have to look at all taxes. I'm sure people who make more than $200,000 pay all the gift tax as well, as well as all the estate tax, all the yacht harbor fees, and a good portion of all income from

Have you read Ryan's budget from last year? He totally wants to change Medicare, and now that he's on the ticket, he may get Romney to do it, especially if they don't look like they stand a chance at a 2016 re-election. Ryan's budget and th
