No, it's what happens when the ecosystem doesn't give a shit about Windows.

We know nothing of its future capabilities and limitations.

We don't know that much about the Mac App Store sandboxing yet, it could be perfectly benign. This is mostly a bunch of conjuring of ominous fantasies.

I think neither. The treatment have most likely not been politically motivated, as Sweden's justice system doesn't work that way. Politicians can't really sway prosecutions. It's also likely that Assange is not guilty of rape (the allegat

There are a lot of things wrong with this case, but this is not one of those things. First, normal suspects are harder to find. Assange is a semi-official person, not a lot of work went into tracking him down. Second, the case was already o

How do you kill something that was never alive in the first place?

Sure they have, and as long as we count parts and phones, rather than revenues, or better yet, profits, they will always be "bigger" than Apple, in that sense. I have a feeling they'd rather be more profitable though.

From what I've gathered he's supposedly quite shy, or at least not comfortable in the spotlight that way.

Easy code is easy, but intricate Ruby code is way way more complex and hard to write and understand than intricate Java code is. I reject the notion that Ruby, is in any way easier than Java. Actually, I think the ease with which you can

Most people who love the Mac or some other Apple product are fans of the _product_, many of them have never even heard of Steve Jobs, and most of them don't know what he looks like. I know that doesn't jive with the popular misconception th

This is just a bunch of made-up bullshit. I don't see why Apple is to blame for this author's active imagination.

Open Source does not imply platform independence.

I agree, and it has puzzled me also why so many people just doesn't get it. Apple operates as dependently as a clock. You can see from a mile away what their intentions are when they've done something (or haven't done something), and they a

JS has bad parts, but it has good parts as well. And those parts are pretty great. PHP is all bad parts. Easily the most inconsistent, poorly designed language in popular use today.

PHP is not that bad? What other popular language is worse?

Sure, and speech recognition has been baked into iOS since at least june of 2010. This isn't merely speech recognition.

That doesn't make any sense. If people had a hard time justifying purchasing an iPad, it wouldn't be the astounding success that it is.

Historically, the profits of the CD era was an outlier. Ever inclining revenue is not a fundamental right. Whether radio was a profit center or not is beside the point, but whatever, maybe touring and merch can be the new one, or not. I for

Linux is a kernel, not an OS or a UI. But whatever. Amazon isn't just putting their own UI over Android like Samsung and HTC are doing. They're forking it.

In terms of quality of experience, I think Amazon's product is going to be perceived as runner up to the iPad, while other Android devices will be perceived as the lower end. Other Android manufacturers are probably going to start competing

It isn't, really. They've built their Kindle product on the Android codebase, but it isn't Android and they won't be allowed to even call it an Android tablet, because they're not dancing to Google's tune. The new Kindle tablet may be sort-

Spotify pays more per listen than radio does. If that's not enough money for an artist, then the problem is really that the artist isn't popular enough when people get to decide for themselves what to listen to.

The author wants to cool food and is disappointed with his toaster for doing a lousy job at it.

I've reflected on this in the past as well. It seems to me Notch doesn't do any kind of automated testing what so ever. Some of the bugs would have been easy to discover with simple unit tests. The game is great and all, but he does seem

Android fanboys probably agree with that. But they're not everyone.

That's incorrect, the author's argument goes way further than that, claiming that Apple's "sloppy implementation" is due to it being bolted on as an afterthought, having not thought of the concept of multitasking until after Android. In r

The rest was reasonable? How about backgrounds? Is it reasonable that Apple copied backgrounds from Android? Is it reasonable to assume that Apple hadn't thought of the intricate and exotic feature of backgrounds if not for Android? Of

Some bullshit in here unfortunately. "since iOS was not built from top-to-bottom for multi-tasking functionality, you have to address what continues to happen in the background as the user leaves app and you’re app has to scurry and get eve
