This is the future; robots are doing everything for us while we do whatever we want to do. Spend all your time learning art, wacky scientific pursuits, or do nothing but smoke pot all day. Robots are the free workforce and the Sun is the almost unlimited free energy. Do this right and do it once, it is self-sustaining. It is perfect and it is win-win, it is the second renaissance.
The problem is that the income inequality is also growing because of this. If you started at a position that lets you benefit from the less-work-more-output scenario you keep getting better. If you were in a worse position you keep getting worse.
You can't get Star Trek economy by good faith: people are selfish and people who do not want to work will not work. We need to accept that is ok. Now who is going to build the robots and the solar plants to catalyze the whole thing?
Send your most visible exec out with total crap in his hands?
Depends on the exec. Some are completely incapable of doing this - they either panic and push the wrong buttons or fail to gracefully recover when they fumble.
When you are starting off, the goal is to demo the vision, not the product. So it is not only ok, but commonplace to have incomplete/buggy device. But if your execs cannot pull off these kinds of demos, the whole thing is DOA.
But clearly the phones need to provide better software so that people can block alerts by time of occurence. e.g., all those naysayers could block alerts between 10pm-7am had the software allowed.
There are a lot of musicians and there is a lot of music around. Like it or not the field is saturated, competition is fierce and music is a commodity (and there is in fact a lot of free music around in case you were not paying attention). You need to deal with profit margins like we all do.
The part I don't like is, we are supposed feel bad and sympathize because you are high and noble with your "art" and "culture".
If you can't make enough money you are supposed find a different job (shocking, right?). A lot of people deal with it every day. You can still play your music on the side.
Even if there was a shortcut for safely ignoring return values, I would (the company I work for would) still need to check and catch every return. Why? We have to log them all.
If you don't want to deal with failed returns, I find that a scripting language is the best way to go. I write my glue functions to handle nulls gracefully and I am done.
The situation you describe is something you and I would choose to vote against. But there are people who would vote for it. And if you put enough of them together, they will have their way - either through their representatives or by referendums. It is not about the universal right or wrong since there is no such thing.
Some things aren't really best decided by the majority
You are preaching to the converted. But I am not the point here. Your fallacy is again assuming that you know the right and wrong and you want to impose your "right"s on other people. What is plain obvious to you is not to some people.
By definition, the majority will get their way: either through direct voting, or through their representatives. There is no argument to be made here. It is the definition of Democracy.

If this is a change that we really need, Apple is perhaps the best company to set the tone for it.
No. Other companies need to be involved.

How are you seeing that? Looks to me like Safari is still ahead. http://caniuse.com/#compare=ed...
Yes this is indeed very disappointing considering the possibilities one can do with a proper swarm behavior:

I am genuinely looking for an alternative. Must be scripted for ease of deployment and event driven. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.
Unless fredprado steps up and explains why copyright should be linked to support this comment is not insightful 5.
Still trying to figure out if that is a dirty comment.
You sound like a typical rational person. You should know by now markets only care about perception, expectation, and potential.

The full article says she was bipolar and had violent issues in the past.

I like to have local retailers around, so I don't mind paying the $7 extra as long as I can afford it. Never felt like property either.
only seems to bother EE majors and everyone else seems to be immune to it.
This is not comparable at all to surveillance. What part of get out of my face does he not understand?
Last I checked broadband internet was not free.
This is actually a bad thing.
What if I told you it really is one sided and Apple has really little to no ground to stand on?
But the whole twist is the ending. I am afraid I will not be looking forward to it knowing how it ends.
Right. Too bad that is what democracy is.

You are under the impression that there is a "universal right" and "universal wrong" (and you claim to know the right in this case)
In a democracy the majority should get their way - by definition.
You mean "going thermonuclear" no doubt.
Abuse of a monopoly is bad
If history teaches one thing that is abuse of monopoly is inevitable.
I bet Jobs could have sold iTube powered iPods and could have made people believe they sound better.
