Maybe there was record sales because there was a record number of years since the hardware was last updated. Latent demand = sales. It's certainly not due to the effusive praise of the press.

Apple has forgotten how to compete in the computer industry. In the old days there was a ruthless and relentless refresh cycle with manufacturers working hard and fast to trump each other with more advanced products. Apple appears to simply

Took me many, many years to "learn how to learn". The key thing to understand is that when learning something new, you will likely be pretty bad at it for a long time until you have practised and researched it ALOT. Then you will

Indeed I was but it ain't the 90's any more. In the 90's there was not a huge revenue stream to be had from selling services such as music, games and apps. It's a different world.

Are there any "new" Atari 2600 games? i.e. stuff developed in recent times?

When you start on an old technology you instantly incur a learning debt. i.e. you will have to learn the new thing at some time in the future so may as well not incur that debt and go straight to the future.

No. The relationship is wrong if you feel indebted to your investors and like they deserve thanks. They are partners in the business. Presumably the CEO did all they could to succeed and behaved in an ethical and honorable manner. If they

Unless an investor additionally gave a loan, there is no debt owed in any way to investors - that's the point, they made a decision to invest at risk and presumably did due diligence based on accurate information.

CEOs are trying to keep the company going. It would make no sense for every CEO whopse company is a month away from shutdown to be announcing "listen just to let you know, we are a month away from shutdown, but we are trying to find th

Because a day in business costs money. If the company is out of money then you shut it down regardless of anything at all. Running for a single day longer only makes the problem worse and presumably spends money that does not exist - someon

Why would an integrated component not include it's logic plus presentation? Putting logic here and presentation there immediately leads to the need for a mechanism to ensure that this version of the presentation is matched with that ve

Do you think? Seems to me people are getting used to accounts being hacked, it's not such a big deal any more, in fact it may be even an expectation. And as for government NSA hacking, well that's just old news and a given isn&#x2

I tried using DynamoDB. It felt really unintuitive and like I had to bend my thought process to fit it. I misconfigured some parameters and ended up with a big bill for a database that was doing pretty much nothing. I don't see the up

I don't want my living room as the backdrop for games - it's kind of a mess at the moment. I want to be taken OUT of the real world to a virtual world. Seems a dumb idea to be displaying stuff onto my living room. Outside things,
