Apple tries really hard to give you bragging rights through their processor!? are you posting this from bizarro world? apple is the one tech company that does not advertise tech specs. they mention them in the keynotes and move on. as if yo

this is not about oppressing women, wtf. this is about sites using the natural trait of men, especially the nerdy types, to get immense joy of being right. not being able to have something stand uncorrected. and to assume all others are idi

how is that sexism - look at the stats behind who edits wikipedia, who posts here or at quora. prove me wrong, with science. it is the opposite of sexism - it is an uncomfortable truth.

ego. just like wikipedia it runs on the precious recource called 'mansplaining'. men really like to show off. just like this comment.

they can't use the OS and apps as a differentiator. reason why Nokia went with Windows - which is also questionable. going with Android reduces you to a pure hardware OEM. see the Windows laptop world how great that is. my rationale is

this is turning similar to the vaccination debate with children. you need to vaccinate the herd if you want risk-free meat. a lot of people used to die due to contaminated meat and animal products. free range chicken does not even exist any

"pasteured meat"? so pre-cooked? no more steaks for you? tapeworms and other shit are fun.

No, the key to bribery is that once someone accepts money, you have two hooks in them: 1., They are willing to sell you intel for money. 2., You can now blackmail them as they accepted a bribe. Point 2 is the reason you should never accept

Did Minecraft ever take on any VC money? I think not, so this 2.5b is very, very different than the stuff you see here. Not comparable to Instagram in net profit for the founders.

neat, but SFDC alone is unbelievable ... as in i do not believe it. API limits, governors, etc. will all kill your fancy meta-api. working a lot with SFDC, an API on top of an API is simply performance hell.

the iPod Nano is the counterexample, together with the bright colors of the iMac. the Nano is especially important as it was used already by various kickstarter projects as a poor man's Apple Watch. the real one looks very similar actu

ths is using a system on a chip designed by Apple themselves - what the hell. they're going all in on chips. intel quo vadis?

it can be reversed, as mentioned by a couple of attendees of the event by now.

so you expected Apple to bend the rules of physics and biology. alright. sooo underwhelmed.

it started as such. lots of 3rd party clients, cool new use cases and UIs. all squashed by now. API caps, etc. they need money, sure. but not just to operate and make a nice profit, they need to grow, they need blowout quarter after blo

it is a big conundrum if your core product, through its simplicity, is really great. you hire all these product people, have all these investors, but any direction you can take the product actually makes it worse against its initial, great

that's because there is no engineering yet in software development. it is at the stage of middle ages production, a manufacture in its original sense. client says 'i need a shoe' and developers start from scratch, everytime.
