Apple can hire the engineers to build an object storage system, but to build one that can scale takes at least a couple years. If Dropbox can move away from S3 with much less capital, so can Apple. Apple doesn't want to invest in that

You are probably referring to FxOS targeting emerging markets where smartphones were not common, so the hardware (thus cheaper) was expected to be very weak. But really, hardware is not a problem from a marketing point of view, from a compe

I have to concur with parent in some circumstances. I was looking up what are some weird regulations. I didn't find much, perhaps I was not using the right terms. But this one strikes me: License to Close a Business [1]. When it comes

Yes, you are right. See, that's the other (#%#$^#$%#$ - excuse my Chinese) confusion. Such conflicting name pyvenv and pyenv , someone really could have picked a better name, whoever came later. Corrected in my post.

I'd like to hear what people think as well, so everyone please fire away. The 1st option is very explicit and doesn't modify your environment. The problem I have with the latter option is not just messing with my environment varia

I am not even sure how one can have a consumer level quantum computer (e.g. desktop, laptop, mobile device) at all. The physics behind a quantum computer doesn't seem to allow such consumer devices ever possible for a true QC. Our surr
