When making a deal, don't agree to stop all negotiations with other parties. One of the very most important properties of a deal is competition. A sense of competition ensures deals move along in a timely manner and push the value of t

There's no issue with asking. There's even no issue with leading me to a "give us your email and we'll send you what you want". I just feel that at this point if there was even a small link saying "I really do

It annoys me to be forced to give me email address. OK to try to manipulate me into it, like this does, I accept that. But in the end if I really don't want to hand over my email address it should still let me get the thing I want.

No it is my opinion but a reasonable conclusion to come to. --> Battery wear is a measure of device age, or a good proxy for that in most cases. --> Apple wants people to keep upgrading their hardware --> primary reason to upgrade

Is this Linux? The site should be more direct about whether or not it is Linux. I don't have time to wade through reams of words to work out what something is. Just tell me. It's not clear at all why this matters or is better tha

Winning government work (which is probably similar to large enterprise) is all about ensuring all of the government tender requirements get a "yes" tick when considering your product, but then ensuring that your fine print gets yo

This is just politics. Find a way to say "yes", which satisfies their need to hear you say "yes", but your "yes" conditions mean they need to spend money (which they won't want to do), and further conditio

My money is on Linux based RTOS platforms. It's a bit of a surprise that Amazon has backed a non-Linux horse in this race.

Yeah but the important question is what about the future investment into these projects? Is there any, or is it just a throwaway thing that Amazon does?

Yeah but there's no "computing race" in which countries compete to have more computing power than the next, despite the implication of articles like this that hint such a race would be important. Makes not the slightest diffe
