Dell has DisplayPort ports in basically all of their monitors as well. This guy lives in some alternate universe bubble if he thinks nobody wants or uses DisplayPort beyond Apple.
And to add, basically every single consumer Nvidia video card I've bought and have seen been released for 5 years or so have all had Displayport ports. You have an interesting notion of "failure".
Did you forget your sarcasm tag? Since when has DisplayPort "failed"? Every single Dell monitor, for example, comes with both full-size and mini Displayport ports. Also, Thunderbolt is Intel's standard not Apple's.
There is the complex issue of your first languages shaping your view on later languages, at least for the extremely common approach of not taking the time to fully grasp the later languages/programming models.
Except the audience of this article isn't to people who will be learning a bunch of languages to become a programmer. It's for the non-technical business person who wants to learn a language that will help them in their job.
My point is that learning one language will NOT teach you to program.
But for a person who isn't a programming by career it teaches you more than enough.
And don't tell me the article is for 'non-technical people', not me, because I was non-technical prior to learning a bunch of programming languages. 'Non-technical' is a choice, not genetic:P
The article is for non-technical people. The quotes from the article writer explicitly say that. Also, it's great that you spent all that time learning a bunch of languages. The average person doesn't have that much time to invest if it isn't their career.
CEO of data analysis company suggests people learn data analysis language.
Because data analysis is a large part of many businesses and many that don't do extensive data analysis probably should be. So there isn't really anything that extraordinary or silly in his recommendation.

Most people don't have the time to sink into learning multiple programming languages. Especially when programming isn't their career.
Get off your butts. Instead of whining on a forum spend the next 2 minutes of your life emailing your representative for the American slashdotter.
Unless that email is accompanied by a tens of thousands of dollars donation to their campaign and/or PAC you can rest assured it illbe ignored.
Remember these legislators only hear and get their information from lobbyists and pacs.
Oh they get information from other people. They just only listen to the people giving them money. Good luck trying to outspend AT&T, Verizon and Comcast for your congresscritter's attention.
It won't. That's the entire point. People like his friend have been brainwashed into thinking anything that isn't 100% pro-corporation is tantamount to communism even when the very same corporations are routinely fucking him over.
And how many of these cosponsors have taken large donations from ISPs, telecoms, etc. in their last reelection campaigns or recently to their PAC? It's seems that they aren't even trying to hide the corruption anymore.
No, it's still up-to-date. 10.3 added only 4.3 support and 10.3.1 didn't change that. Even if we assume that it's 4.3.1 support, that's a year and a half old release and 2 versions behind current Android. In what universe does that not imply it only supports "older" Android?
1) Legal tender can be refused if the debt didn't exist at the time of the payment (aka the purchasing of a car). 2) The US has something called "invitation to bargain" which allows a shopkeeper to refuse cash. This is backed up by case law that is nearly 150 years old.
So, no, that wasn't the original intent and isn't backed up by any US case law.

e.g. in Europe the charger must be the same for all as a standard. I can easily see where this have to be for other connections as well.
And that's why Apple ships an adapter for European customers.
They would do whatever makes them more money, is there any doubt about that?
No, because all publicly-traded corporations do that.
Yeah, and they're crying all the way to the bank with the more than $160 billion they have in cash.
Who the hell has monitors with audio in them?
Some people do so they don't have to have external speakers. Of course most monitor speakers are crap.

How dare you bring facts into Apple bashing session!

But that does not make any of that "innovative".
Boo. Now if it had Visual Basic support that would be the phone to buy!
He was wrong about the specific version of Android but he was not incorrect in that BB10 still only supports a two-versions-old Android.
No, actually I wouldn't. Just a tip, you're a terrible mind reader so you really shouldn't try to put words in people's mouth.
I never mentioned any such thing.
Yeah reusing old ideas in old ways is nothing close to innovation.
No, it's still up-to-date. 10.3 added only 4.3 support and 10.3.1 didn't change that. Even if we assume that it's 4.3.1 support, that's a year and a half old release and 2 versions behind current Android. In what universe does that not imply it only supports "older" Android?
Which only supports 4.3. So, as the AC GP said, that is an 'older' version of Android.
No innovation? There's nothing else like them in the market.
So if I start a buggy whip company am I now innovative?
You're simply wrong because:
1) Legal tender can be refused if the debt didn't exist at the time of the payment (aka the purchasing of a car).
2) The US has something called "invitation to bargain" which allows a shopkeeper to refuse cash. This is backed up by case law that is nearly 150 years old.
So, no, that wasn't the original intent and isn't backed up by any US case law.
