that's easy, they just didn't come out with a new model. I waited and waited and then iphone 5 came out so I gave up on RIM and switched. I dislike the iPhone, but it's better than my old curve, mostly. Now I'm locked an

this is a stupid comparison, you're not comparing ios vs android, but rather apps that were likely designed to be similar for consistent ux. Obviously ebay is going to make their ios app in much the same way, reusing assets even, as th

I wish I'd stayed on iOS6, the animations can't be turned off and make me nauseous. Thankfully the floaty parallax nonsense can be turned off. This mixpanal page never got passed the loading data display, but I also saw a bunch of

"Because I'm leaving at 5 unless there's a fire to put out." -- slacker! You'd not get a job at Twitter anyway with this attitude. just because they provide food doesn't make it a lifestyle.

I don't use my work network for banking, no, because IT monitor and proxy everything and I don't trust the IT dept. Mostly for personal stuff I use my iPhone. Not really any need to use a work computer for that. I don't read

It's not a good idea in an interview to antagonize your victims like this. The goal is to find out what they know, not be a forum for you to show off what you know. This is a very common mistake by interviewers.
