I think it is important to explain one of the driving factors behind the move, which is in fact that ESR is a racist delusional sleaze ball.

The point of the article is that small technology changes can provide disporportionate value to the customer and your company (The best types of changes to make) and most commentors still feel it necessary to mention that its not really 3

One of the biggest requirements iOS was designed around was "don't trust lazy or shitty devs" and people still freak out about the huge amount of restrictions placed on apps. I'm not sure there is any winning.

I'm glad you're so impressed with your knowledge of network and computer janitoring you can look down on others so easily. You are the reason why people hate dealing with IT.

I love all the angst shown in some comments about the most successful "hacker" ever.

What always bothers me is that without the source, I don't know if this is a phishing attempt. I don't like compounding security problems with more opaqueness.

Thats fine and I understand the advantages to open source. But if you're in the business of selling software (especially to end users and not b2b) like many people here claim to be, that isn't a valid concern or argument against a

So many people today are still harping on the security aspect (Not ~ free ~ software, you don't own the servers). How does that matter at all when selling to a large consumer base? How many customers of dropbox know what those words me

Not but there are many people who take a laid back approach to the game, not unlike how one could play a game or two of bejeweled then get on with their day.

Yes and then with the improvements to activesync in 2007/2010 the iPhone and Android devices had good enough security and monitoring for most organizations.

Can the experience being behind a wall garden buddy buddy with the NSA ever be truly good, ignoring superficial things like icons and launchers?

That is a lot of effort from you to defend your purchase. They are just telephones, y'know?

Yes but unfortunately there are people making that argument quite seriously.

No you can't compare iOS 7 to android until you install my bespoke launcher and remove all the default icons and widgets and customize the phone! It's not fair picking both up out of a box and comparing the user experience.

Relatively no one who walks into a store to buy a phone understands any of those words you just said. They just know they bought the most popular android phone and I guess this is what android is? Edit: By your definition you can't com

This sure is a thing normal consumers do. Installing a new launcher app.

Its a massive step in the right direction. Its a giant overhaul that was accomplished in a crazy amount of time. Yes theres some obvious missteps, and having literally everything look different across the board is going to be confusing for

Many of the complaints around these iOS 7 screenshots revolve around HOW WILL I EVER KNOW "< BACK" IS A BUTTON!?!?!?! There are many valid complaints that may annoy designers and may initially confuse people, but in reality in

Most apple fans don't realize that negligible differences in touch responsiveness against a small cherry picked selection of android devices doesn't make up for flexibility, cost, choice...
