I am not a fan of Assembly but it is still one of the most widely used programming languages for hardware and low resource applications:
Camera's
Automobiles
PCB
Calculators
MP3 Players
Portable Gaming Devices
Small Electronic Devices
90% of those use Assembly so even though they have also a non-existent purpose in any environment where C/++ is the most logical choice they still have hundreds of thousands of applications.
We got our cellphone plan back in the 80s at $24.95 a month unlimited usage that includes all current and future services (except fax services, text-to-voice, fallback services and automated voice answering services).
I already get unlimited data/calls and shared cell/land-line, I don't see a reason to upgrade.
The cellular companies are just an evil group of conglomerates that have made a novelty into a life requirement.
The gaming industry practically started with Roberta Williams (Sierra On-line Co-founder) and has continued with great writers such as Susan O'Connor(Gears of War) and Amy Hennig(Legacy of Kain). Sure, there aren't as many female writer but the ones that are in the gaming industry have made some of the most noted storyline based games...It would not be fair to call it a man dominated business.
