Some small tips that can make it more doable. * If you can, take the train into work. That's about 1.5 hours of additional productive startup time. Sitting in a car is dead time. * Get rid of your lunch hour. Park yourself at a nearby St

Amazon isn't selling the Fire as a tablet, so they are already trying to differentiate themselves from the rest of the android tablet players. With their unique position of having their own app store and being a platform player, it's clear

How does this impact California? I understand that they have their own law related to IT staff.

The resulting fragmentation along device type is the biggest problem for developers. Google is trying hard to unify the phone and tablet, but Amazon is throwing a wrench into that strategy. Amazon can dictate the terms of Android tablet a

Of course. Just about everything a corporation does is driven by the pursuit of profit. However, the rather verbose post you replied to had a point obfuscated in the jungle of words. Core competency (a company's ethos) is an important fa

I don't think Google enters the smartphone market simply because there is money to be made. I have always thought that their motivation for Android was, at least partially, defensive, as they fight to keep clear any impediments to consumin

Not true. Technology is used regularly at my kids elementary school. As a small example, at first grade, they start use an online reading comprehension program, and all of the classrooms (K-5) have interactive boards with cool remotes tha

In a pinch, I handed over my Samsung to my son, who wanted to play Club Penguin. He rejected it after 30 seconds of frustration.

While not ideal, some people have been able to run mac os on other operating systems using virtualization.

Sure there are barriers. A few that come to mind include the $99 per year Apple developer program fee, which is necessary to distribute apps, the Mac OS requirement, and the objective c hurdle. These may seem more like inconvenience barri

Agreed, but I would generalize it a bit more and say that web apps reduced the barrier to consumption considerably over desktop applications. In most cases, mobile apps are close enough to web apps in regards to barrier of consumption to ma

I can't imagine how difficult it would be to target and track this thing with a consumer-grade telescope.

Thanks for the feedback. I am debating this very issue now for an iphone app, and the time savings of not having to build a registration system for v1 is very appealing.

Don't take this the wrong way, but can you explain the thinking on requiring a Facebook login?

I don't think the vast majority of corporations do what you suggest. On the whole, IMO most corporations (private and public) contribute to the economy and society without being scoundrels.

I have an MBA, I rarely wear a suit, and I have not sold out customers. Also, the majority of EA's management team (including CEO) does not have MBA's. So, at least in this specific example, the dreaded "MBA" label does not seem to be the

Why don't you throw lawyers under the bus while you are at it. After all, we know that everybody but coders are looking to screw the customer.

I agree that principals are a result of the system, and it likely goes even higher to the school districts and superintendent. I doubt instituting a merit-based system can be done effectively without transforming the whole system, from top

>let principals hire/fire based on merit Its a simplistic idea. Principals weren't hired because of their ability to build a successful team of teachers. They are administrators. Why does anybody think they can suddenly (successfully

How is this much different than a credit score? One is estimating your purchasing potential, while the other is estimating your likelihood to pay. Two sides of the same consumer purchasing coin. In fact, I am surprised I haven't seen the

The AppStore isn't just a payment gateway. It's essentially a retail store. You would be hard pressed to get to keep 70% from many other retailers.
