Automated tests are only superior when it is too intensive to do manually e.g. integration tests or serialization tests. But otherwise especially for iPhone apps manual testing is far, far superior. It will always pick up issues with the UI

Well Vic better update the website then. Because a site that mentions "share the right things with the right people" and then has games, photos, events and videos sure sounds pretty similar to Facebook to me. You don't think he's just tryin

Wow. So much lack of understanding about what the issue is. I don't want my search results, the YouTube videos I watch, my mail or ANY of my Google activity to be made available either to my friends or to the general public. With a normal G

You can check if it has an SSD in System Information. If you don't then consider upgrading. But if it's taking 10 minutes then it is likely installing system updates which it does when you restart.

How old is the MacBook Pro and do you have SSDs ? Both my iPhone 5 and MacBook Air restart in seconds. My older MacBook Pro takes a while though but is still at least half as long as my work Ubuntu machine.

Google+ is a social network. The only person who thinks otherwise is you: http://plus.google.com And the reason Google+ is being integrated everywhere is because it is the only way they see themselves gaining traction against Facebook. Wh

I don't think you 'get it' at all. Apple has merely provided SSO. All of its services have always been private (unless you explicitly share) and will always be. Google has taken what were private services e.g. YouTube and content and exposi

No it's not like MySQL which has MySQL Cluster a supported, well documented, OOTB, easy to use solution with lots of enterprise customers. Similarly Percona has a very, very impressive product with great support. Instagram had to roll their

IMHO it is the NoSQL databases like Redis and MongoDB that seem to be the most popular amongst newer platforms e.g. NodeJS.

MySQL isn't in flux. It is getting better every single day because of the contributions from Percona, MariaDB, Facebook, Twitter and even Oracle. It's just that people have a nervousness because of the Oracle connection. And PostgreSQL mayb

Sorry I should have clarified. I meant in terms of the basics: food, shelter, water etc. My point was that North Korea is borderline third world on par with other countries in the region.

by taligent 14y ago
Actually the average life of North Korea is not that different from those in rural China, Phillipines, Thailand and arguably some parts of the US.

They've changed it. You can go at certain periods during the year often coinciding with key events. And you can only go as part of a set tour which is usually over a week. So no weekend tours and certainly not by yourself.

Pretty simple actually. To stop people damaging their phone. I bought one of those iPhone 5 docks off eBay and threw it away immediately after it started to scratch the pins on the phone.

For tools. You just need XCode. And I would recommend the WWDC 2012 videos. https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2012/ Most of it may go straight over your head but there are some more introductory sessions in there. And I believe most

No. Financial institutions do a LOT more than just speculate and invest. They also handle and manage capital for everyone from consumers, businesses, enterprise to other banks. And capital is every bit a tangible resource as something like

It is naive to apply this to the current situation. Financial institutions aren't people and most importantly they aren't normal businesses. They make up the core infrastructure that every business and consumer needs just like power, water,

Sorry but the people are the reason Greece/Italy are in the mess they are in. Tax evasion and corruption is rampant at all levels especially amongst the rich. Many in Europe believe that the people are simply getting what they deserved.

Why ? Apple just needs to approach the same data providers Google uses and they will be about 90% of the way there. And they do so without having to hand over user data to Google.
