Are Betas Taking On Lives of Their Own?
Ant writes "CNET News.com's Paul Festa thinks the final stage of software development, beta versions, are taking on a life of their own, as companies tinker endlessly with their products in public according to a recent article. Google is one of the companies that keep using "beta" term for years for its products."
It's funny this topic comes up, because in two days we're about to have our Betta Fish Royale. 27 of us bought betta fish a week and a half ago, and now they're "training" for the big day. (which means they're just sitting in little tanks/tins/whatever.) However, we're just going to stick them all in one big tank, and have a huge fight, instead of several small ones.
Of course, its our freshman year in college as well, and of course we're going to video this whole thing.
Regarding parent and above response, so it's true that education isn't taking place in our colleges anymore? An activity this ignorant can only imply a great lack of something in the colleges.
I love my sig.
