Some people don't distinguish a knife from an elephant, but those people are wrong too.

No. Why would they? You think Asus, Lenovo and HP are giving sales data to Google?

I think the part where you said "best bits" is debatable.

According to you it isn't. And that's the fundamental problem here... opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and yours certainly isn't worth more than mine.

Because progress sucks. I still don't see why we don't continue using IE 6.

Sigh... this is such an annoying comparison. If you want to compare, compare React to Angular Directives since that's a valid argument. Your entire complaint is that full-stack front-end frameworks are bad and modular systems are good.

Spending does note equate to success. Samsung Series 9 laptops are built as well or better than any Macbook. And Samsung is well-respected. The bottom line is Apple is very, VERY good at marketing their platform, and much of that marketing

Because MS decided virtual growth was the way forward (well... they decided it by releases shitty services and products horizontally) and Apple decided to focus almost entirely on horizontal multi-product approach to growth. The latter will

Actually, most of what you said is incorrect. As of not that long ago Samsung (Apple's biggest competitor in mobile) is still Apple's largest LCD supplier. Furthermore, Apple has a ton of competition on both the mobile front (from

Size by employees misleadingly favors retail outlets and government; just like market cap unfairly favors companies with inflated stock prices. Revenue favors companies with enormous line-item purchases (like Oil companies) and profit ratio

Bull. It teases out if someone happens to know the GetHash() implementation in C#. Their knowledge of .NET and C# can, in no way, be determined by one stupid question about the implementation of a specific function in C#. Evidence of that f

It's a contrived situation that involves significantly more nerves than any real life situation will. I've known more than a few programmers that were perfectly capable of doing their work, but struggled through interviews because

$130,000 in 1988 is $260,000 in 2014 dollars. And the tech sector is vastly more competitive today than it was in 1988, which is why these ceilings are vastly outpacing inflation. The big question is when the ceiling will slow back down to

I'm not terribly worried. At the end of the day if Facebook did this the patent revocation would likely be unenforceable. This would be a simple example of Unconscionability. You can't enforce a contract that is grossly unfair. Th

That's incorrect. It's only revocable if you make a claim. As the person said, if the only claim you make is that you are using the patent grant itself, your rights are not revoked. It's overly broad, but your interpretation

"The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice, for anyone that makes any claim" For anyone who makes any claim. The legal definition of claim is that you must assert you own all or part of the sof

That's a retaliation clause. That means if YOU file a lawsuit against Facebook then you lose the patent grant, but only if the lawsuit you file claims that you own some right to the software in question. Basically this avoids Facebook
