Apple does make an Apple Music app for Android. That alone is a reason they'd want to keep it around on Android.

I had a similar experience. I had DLP bulb burn out in less than a year. The original item claimed to have a 1 year warrantee. So I went through ever means possible to find the contact info for the seller to make a claim. Sure enough, there

General user engagement is a measurable benefit, regardless if it's for e-commerce purposes or not. Other apps that provide a blazing fast experience set the standard for what users expect out of an app. If your app performs below th

Spoiler alert, more than you think you do. I was involved in refactoring a product detail page for an e-commerce app. It was a several month long project as the view is pretty complicated and the only goal was to improve UI performance. Our

All these conversions bashing recruiters seem a bit... unfair? I work at a company that almost exclusively does their own recruiting. There's no commission structure or misplaced incentives to get someone in, no matter how bad they cou

Enron's and Arther Anderson's accounting fraud did them in. Reputation, while certainly diminished, did not play a role in their bankruptcy. Absolutely worth a watch if you have a chance: https://www.imdb.com/title

> The greed of the entertainment industry has made me not give a shit. > I will pay for some cheap streaming services and pirate the rest. I'm still trying to wrap my head around the hypocrisy here.

I’ve heard about her not blinking. Also, she forces her voice to be at a lower octave than what her speaking voice normally is.

React native to this day is not performant. On iOS the difference may not be as noticeable for most UIs as most iPhones have pretty powerful processors, even for devices 3-4 years old. However, on Android, it’s a crapshoot.

I'm bothered by the fact that it took Consumer Reports testing to discover this issue and to have it fixed. Where was Tesla's QC on this before all this? The CR break tests don't appear to be anything unusual.

Wait, are we talking about Steven Jobs or Elon Musk? Because, lets be honest here, they're both cut from the same cloth. And yet, the tech crowd reveres Musk but is pretty split on Jobs.

Too bad they want to charge a yearly subscription fee to use CarPlay. I didn't have to pay anything extra with my Honda. https://www.engadget.com/2018/01/20/bmw-to-switch-apple-carp...

They both can apply. The flow of traffic laws, such as the one in California, are to prevent people from going significantly below the speed limit. Its a better approach, in my opinion, then a minimum speed limit law that many states use. T

There’s something seriously wrong if this is the advice being doled out. It’s as if we’re ok with the haphazard shopping experience and there’s a set of guidelines on avoiding being scammed. It’s the kind of thing I never have to worry abou

I get the sense that there’s something wrong with reviews, too. It’s as if it’s far too restrictive to be able to write a negative review or the seller has far too much freedom to prevent negative ones from posting. My anecdotal case was bu

I've always felt that mastering CoreData's multi-threaded APIs are a trial by fire. Tutorials and recommendations only got me so far and I had to stumble my way through to truly master it. At the end of it all, I got a bigger feel

If engineers really ran a company, progress will often slow down. For example, if you're surrounded but a lot of young talent, the phrase that you just constantly hear is "refactor". Not as many developers enjoy bug hunting a

That's the norm in any medium to large sized engineering organization. PMs set out what needs to be worked on and want to know the progress on these tickets. How is that unreasonable? Maybe it would help if you referred to it as a spri

I did specify being close to the city being a factor in how doable it is to go without a car. And even then, there are limiting factors that make car ownership worthwhile. Things like: 1. Monthly Costo/BJs run (with family in tow) 2. V

That's the bubble mentality of someone who lives in the city and/or doesn't have a family. How about you try hauling a baby in a stroller, diaper bag, and two other kids to a metro train (if you're so lucky to have one c

The QA effort to support 3-4 of the most recent OS’s isn’t “a little extra effort.” It can get pretty expensive, too, since you may have to have devices for all supported OS versions and possibly idioms (e.g. iPhone, iPad).

The whole charging port on the bottom of the mouse isn't just for visual design. It's intentionally made to force you into using it exclusively wireless. If it were allowed to be a wired mouse far more people will have crappy expe

CloudKit, the API Apple introduced a few years ago and what iCloud syncing is built on, has been pretty rock solid. I think your complaint has been the first one I’ve heard about Photos syncing.
