But it also means that the users will be disproportionately price sensitive. Which as a developer means your options are limited about what price you can charge for your app and hence what type of app you can build.

iPhoto, iMovie, Garageband, Paper, music apps e.g. AniMoog, Newspaper apps, Diet Coda. Those are just a few I use. But seriously EVERY tablet app will be better on iOS. Why ? Because Apple/community encourages developers to rethink the tabl

Sorry. You propose teaching your child how to learn using Java and one of the worst SDKs for a long time ?

But Android does have Google. And Google has been engaging in anticompetitive/illegal behaviour (FRAND patents), abusing privacy (Safari DNT) and capitulating over human rights (China). All the while basing their whole business on selling a

Well this guy clearly has questionable sense. Myspace absolutely had a use. It just wasn't generic/clean enough for a mass audience. And as for his criticisms about Facebook. I personally have never experienced any of them. Meanwhile the on

Right. The concept of 'form is function' is exclusive to Apple. I mean what world of delusion do you live in that you would ignore the entire industry of industrial design. It's everywhere from cars to irons to cutlery to furniture. How a p

It's not just as aesthetic addition it makes the iMac more durable. Given that families are a big market for iMacs it seems to be common sense that you would make it as kid friendly as possible. Last thing you want is an errant toy to destr

This is completely and utterly wrong. In the UK/Australia, News Limited has been heavily involved through its newspapers in dictating government policy. For example the "boat people" issue was very much promoted in Australia and in the UK t

For someone saying "try again" you are awfully ignorant of News Corp and its business which is promoting a right-wing agenda worldwide. It owns News Limited, News International which are dominate right-wing newspapers/websites in Australia

Actually you're wrong on that part. Steve was the visionary. He was the one who saw Pixar as being a brand (i.e. a modern day Disney) rather than just an anonymous studio. Kids are buying and trusting the Pixar brand not the Disney brand. S

Dismissal is absolutely constructive criticism if you're looking at it from a business perspective. If the product does not provide a decent ROI then you are right to dismiss it.

The only way you know if your product is imperfect is by other people constructively criticising it. But instead you would rather all of us stand around in a circle cheering them on about how wonderful it is and politely ignore any problems

This answers my point better. The fact is that many of these mapping companies that even Google still licenses to this day have been driving around countries in some cases for decades. That is the real hard part. Trying to obtain all that d

Exactly. Why do you think the AppleTV is called a 'hobby' ?

Mapping is NOT hard. I know from personal experience. The reason Apple screwed up maps is because of one reason and one reason only. Licensing. The app itself is great. The 3D maps are great. The data is the problem. Apple chose not to lice

I think it's pretty clear where the direction of Apple is going: http://www.apple.com/itunes/new-itunes/ So it could be coming sooner than you think.

There is a world of difference between being influenced by something and doing an exact copy. One is legal, accepted as beneficial to society and common place within the design community. The other isn't. You are either woefully naive or be

My favourite is the iPod section where 3 of the 4 points are complete wrong. That said much of the document is factually baseless. But the real takeaway from this is that Mashable is willing to use content from a spam site in order to drive

That's Fox News quality quoting there. How about not taking it out of context. Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Pretty sure the US military counts as po

Just a thought that maybe you could let some of those Mac Mini colocation hosting companies know about it as well. I am sure this would be a godsend for server deployments and they may already have scripts/free time they can contribute.

Here in Australia Samsung has noticeably increased the advertising for the Galaxy S3 in response to the iPhone 5. That seems like a much bigger reason for their increase in sales than anything else.

How is the status page not useful ? It's so simple to understand. Green if everything is fine. Green if there are intermittent problems. Green if nothing works.

Yeh no. China has banned countless US sites. NYT is just another one and not even the most high profile. And China isn't some rogue state despite perceptions within the US. They aren't going to deliberately attack core routers out of spite.

It won't. In fact it will likely get worse as more and more companies deal with big data. There is just too much of a performance benefit to be had by colocating in the same or neigbouring data center.
