I score Apple and Microsoft pretty low on these two measures also. Support MS are OK to good, but listening to bug reports seems to be hard to do at scale. Can anyone provide any examples of people doing it really well?

This x 100. The CLR was designed for this from the ground up (or they copied the design from Java, take your pick). As you pointed out, they've had a working implementation forever in the form of the .NET Compact Framework. And yet the

This was always going to be the way with Windows 8....and continues with 8.1. Now that the consent decree imposed by the US gov. has been lifted, since Microsoft's monopoly looks far less threatening these days, and Apple and google ar

"with though simplifying" doesn't sound right to me....did you mean something else?

Yes, re: event handler wire-up, that's why I wrote the part that said " It looks like it is just the way the event handler on the 'back' of the item is wired up"

In IE 10 the 'flip' in the demo worked for me, but the 'flip back' didn't. It looks like it is just the way the even handler on the 'back' of the item is wired up.

Agree, it isn't without issues. But if you've built the app and there are lots of people wanting a free solution then that is two out of three (with the third, and only, missing piece the people willing to pay...which is kind of where he is

I don't know anything about inventory management but the idea of a free inventory management product is kind of interesting. What if you made it free, how could you make money off it? Would suppliers be able to bid for ads, so that when it

Right! Your comment re: special tools in the article now makes more sense.

Interesting article. There are better ways of looking at memory allocations in .NET code, however, including CLR allocation profiler, WinDBG, VMMap, and tools from Telerik, Jetbrains, ANTS etc that take away a lot of the guess work. Still,

I guess as a software engineer I can be a little pedantic, literal and detail oriented, perhaps to my own detriment.

But if google has only existed for 15 years how can the business model of "get money out of people trying to help them do a google me-too" have existed for 30?

But the poster in question didn't say "X" and "Y" did they...this feels like an exercise in pedantry now, but he really did say "exactly" and "google".

dewitt said "Oracle has used exactly this business model to great success, and obscene profit, for over 30 years". You claim that business models are abstract. Perhaps, except in the case where the words "exact" are used, and a specific com

I would have thought dealing with the consequences of speeding in their jobs (notifying families of the death of loved ones, seeing the terrible injuries caused) would have stopped them. I know a few people who work in that area and that st
