Of course, if you could just wave your magic wand and change the meaning of commonly understood words, you can make the semantics work. Unfortunately, you can't. In this case, "permission to use at X time" does not have the s

I get what you're doing, but the problem is that "login" and "permissions" are ambiguous in the context of Identity Management. For example, "Delete-User" is a permission that defines some 'permitted

No. Developing on a bigger monitor is always going to be a better experience, but you can certainly develop on a 13inch screen as well (when traveling or out and about).

Nah. I suspect that if Apple enabled multiple accounts, it would be a feature used by a very small minority of iPad users. It wouldn't make a dent in their sales.

Who is complaining? And if containers do not offer enough of an isolation, why would you think VMs do? There are use cases where you have to have host-level isolation - for example, if you want to build a HIPAA-compliant cloud service, your
