Knowing physics and C++ would open a lot of opportunities, as it is a pretty important pairing. Only move away if you are bored of being very good at both together and separately.

It seems that what is left of GPL software there is either things that they've changed beyond recognition since taking on (webkit) or absolutely basic parts like gcc. Bit of a shame the larger pieces, all the way up to Darwin have nearly di

Surely people should be writing (they already briefly were before Siri was known) about Google's attempt at this, including email and os on. Google is far more likely to grab from every source it has, including email, in the background. I'd

I don't think logic (including syntax and grammar) will get outdated, I'm not trying hard but the maths and logic from the Greeks has lasted longer than their theories on matter, gods and treatment. The trends will be slow enough for even t

It depends how critical it is to you. Very few people I know use it more than face to face, or msn/gmail/other digital contact to keep up with people. It's not really an invasion of privacy if your information is shared to your friends base

The only time I saw Jobs laugh other than something scripted at WWDC, was when he was talking with Gates (things like "Bill taught the world the important of ctrl, alt and del").

If they want to force you to quickly learn and only use a language which doesn't seem logical to you (by that I mean C-style or recognizable in a similar way), then it may not be a nice job to have.

Define great keyboard? I've heard people say that the macbook keyboards are too bright, too hot, wrong sort of UK keyboard, too light, etc.

Voice UI lets you keep your phone in your pocket? Buy some jeans, yours must have so many holes in it. The only fashion thing that will come out of this is a 'cool' way to talk to the phone without the speaker to your ear.

I went recently, it really needs the money. It needs it so bad I wouldn't bother going until they've spent this money. Donate in the meantime.

You may get enterprise (and take-home-enterprise) windows tablets in the iPad price area, but they'll be mostly cheaper, like Android tablets are generally prices similar to the phones.

Is it possible for Dropbox to update in any way that could let them read it? I'm not sure what you're worried about.

Look into a home server, you can just buy a second hand laptop and leave it always on next to the router. You can get student debit cards from a young age, it varies a lot but can be as low as 14 apparently, which should work with Paypal. I

If you are sure he can be kept on task by whoever is in charge of him, and he won't affect others then I'd say something like you're on probation, please act gently and kindly.

It's not likely I'll go to sleep now. It'll be in half an hour for me personally, it varies between people. You might want to add a box called something like typical time from computer to sleep.

I haven't had an average education, but even other, much lower, poorer schools in my area still did IT early. Microsoft Research is in Cambridge, I'd say more but I'm annoyed at Schmidt for clearly not looking at it. I've never seen a BBC M

I get the feeling the R&D budget at Apple is just the salary and benefits of the Vice Presidents, who have final word (and often first) on their products - Scott Forstall (iOS), Jonathan Ive (hardware design) and Phil Schiller (marketin

What type of programming? What are you aiming for? I'd generally pick something light and stable, so you are on the same platform as some of your customers, and you can easily run VM for the rest, or you're writing for the web and none of t

Is this related to the hardware identifiers? When you sync any mobile Apple device to a computer it keeps some data, such as phone numbers, IMEI numbers and what I think is the UDID, which is all the ipod has. We need some replacement, if o

Find purpose, because I keep reading that I should and it sounds right. As weak as that sounds, it's a goal that probably can't be completed till I finish education, and I wouldn't normally consider it before then. Thinking about it early m

In the UK the main speed factor is the line between you and either your cabinet, or your exchange. You're sold packages that are probably either 8 or 24 MB/s, and you get what you can. I'm 1.1 miles from the exchange directly with no fibre

It only works if the people who are listening to you don't need to be corrected a lot. Some people in my class who are somewhere between chav and decent IT student have a lot of theories that can instantly be proven wrong. Otherwise yes, I'

You shouldn't be able to trademark colours, but a specific colour on a specific area of a specific item (red soled shoes), that others copy purely so customers are confused about the brand image, does sound more like what is needed.

Some of the reasons he hates it is that it makes it harder for some businesses, that they are obsolete. Nearly every obsoletion that affects people is thought of as bad by someone. There are many more out there that are held back just becau

Often their agenda is a salary, so they go for, and recommend, the platform most likely to make money (even per fixed number of possible customers it seems). If iOS makes more money, that's a valid reason to pick it.

If its vague, get a lawyer to look at it and see if it's valid. If you have a dynamic IP you may ask ATT to prove it was you at the time.
