This is not a commentary on the article itself - I don't have an opinion on it. Most people who have experienced the pre-2000s web can tell what Web 2.0 was. It was a cultural shift in how apps were designed and used, and while the ter

36-45 is just as big as the 26-35 group, I must say I'm surpised! I'm close to 42 and I've been here for 15 years now (as a reader more than as a contributor); when I joined I certainly didn't expect to be here for that

The main job of the Finder is finding files. Unfortunately the interface for doing that is the worst I've seen in any OS. Let's compare it with Windows 3.1's File Manager (which was the first GUI file manager I used). 1. Defa

I don't know why you're downvoted. On a phone, the environment is more tightly defined/controlled and the error you saw is less likely to be unique to your configuration. But in any case, you provided useful information. I&#x

I'm not so sure about that. Phones are already touching 1" (almost), about 1/12 the size of the sensor in the Fuji. Those sensors are going to advance faster than the Fuji in almost every way, and it's possible that soft

Appeasing a dictatorship (both mafia-style as in Russia, and Communist-style as in China/North Korea) isn't a good idea in the long run - especially if they have nuclear weapons. The barbarism we've seen in Ukraine is an exam

Apple probably pays a premium on the 200 million pieces they buy. Since no one else apart from Samsung is making signficant money from Android, it'd be somewhat hard to cover the loss. PC volumes are lower, a lot of them are low-end, a

Maybe they concluded (rightly) that there are no margins in Android devices. Samsung is a rare exception, but by then the signs were clear that manufacturing (including the R&D around it) was shifting to East Asia.
