I see. I wouldn't mind paying extra though. Apple charges a premium for what they consider added value and I wouldn't mind paying for a phone with what I consider added value.
Can I add a physical keyboard? It seems like I am one of only a handful of people on the planet that still likes them so I would love to add that although I am not holding my breath.
Bad news for competitors... if Microsoft pick a replacement with the vision and ruthlessness of an older, wiser Steve Jobs. Even half a Jobs would turn Microsoft around from the stagnating business it has become.
Easy shoes to fill, because even Goofy could have done as well.
I am guessing you thought Bill Gates didn't do too well during his tenure. I am not so sure Steve Jobs would have agreed.
Word from inside the company is that Sinofsky made the devs "p4 obliterate" the Start menu code, meaning not only did they delete it but they wiped the entire history of the code from their source control. If true, it would mean that they couldn't just "bring back" the start menu, they'd have to entirely rewrite it.
They wouldn't have to rewrite it. That's silly. They would just go back to a version of the code when it existed. Microsoft doesn't have one flat file with their code in it. There are literally hundreds of versions that exist with different source branches etc.

As many applications become more web/cloud centric, I am thinking its going to matter more and more what version of browser you are running on. Chrome is great, its my browser of choice, but in the back of my mind I am always like, suppose I don't want to upgrade my browser or update my Nexus 7 to this version of Android?
If thats true then why don't martial artists, professional atheletes work out at home. I am sure they supplement by doing some at home but gym equipment offers many advantages.
" I want to spend all day building robots and educating students."
Come back and say that after 20 years. All jobs, no matter how inspirational, lead to burnout. This is one of the reasons people become managers. They have the know-how but lack the fire that the younguns' have to fall for the same ol', if we work through the weekend this month, only this month (yeah right) the company will finish the project and be in a great position to reward everyone. Soooo not gonna happen. But at the same time they know the game and can call it with their eyes closed and as you say "they have to have a job somewhere" so they become managers. I don't think anyone can be a perpetual cross between Peter Pan and [put your favorite engineer here].
Regardless to whether this candidate wins or loses, he offered an interesting perspective that others are forced to listen to. In my worthless opinion, one voice, leads to several voices questioning whether its feasible which leads to someone sponsoring a bill that gets debated. Its a humble process that sometimes snowballs into something meaningful. I am not so cynical that I believe his idea will change that industry overnight but I am hopeful that it gives others in power or wanting to come into power ideas that might be more useful to consumers.
" team's overall effectiveness" That's very vague and I don't know what it means. Without a concrete example of a "teams overall effectiveness", I don't see the point you are making. If you are writing code then you aren't on an assembly line so you work as individuals until you package everything up anyhoo. I don't see how working remotely would affect this.
They also make the Nexus line.
Would you consider Gentoo not to be a real OS just because it's a user's problem to compile it from scratch?
Yeah but they don't manufacture the phones. I am thinking Microsoft is going after the phone manufacturers themselves. Google is almost using them as pawns by always avoiding the line of fire, never directly stating their opinion on said patent but at the same time benefiting from selling their product. Smart business; ethical, evil eh? Its business.
Eh, I would suggest you refrain from suggesting unhealthy diets to others. You might feel it works for you, but any doctor would disagree with you about the long-term effects. You are supposed to eat every day, that's how you are built unfortunately, so you should be moderating your daily intake, not skipping days...
Doctors disagree amongst themselves about a lot of things but they are not nutritionists. I wouldn't revolve my eating habits around what doctors say because last time I checked, a lot of them are in just as bad shape as most people on the street. They die of the same diseases and at the same rate. Also AC, did you know that many doctors today are little more than licensed drug dealers? These are the people you are telling us to go to for advice? And since we are on the topic of refraining who are you to determine who should and should not speak. If it works for me and there are many studies (BY DOCTORS) who have supported its efficacy, why should I not speak up when asked about it? But, since you are the creator and know what we are supposed to eat every day I will stop now. Thanks for stopping by Slashdot God.
This has become quite a craze at the moment - how long have you been doing it and what results are you seeing?
What would you say your weekly total calorie intake is?
The days I eat, I just try to be sensible and don't count calories. I have one nice big meal, some cookies (I have a sweet tooth) and a ton of fruit. I have a little soda every now and again but I drink majority water. I literally don't have anything but tea on the days I eat. I don't do it like others who have small meals on the off days. I have tea with some honey and I do not have to think about food at all. My productivity skyrockets and the strange thing is, my thinking is clearer. The way my body works is I lose (roughly) about a pound per day that I fast that doesn't come back. The next day when I have to eat, sometimes I wake up early, sometimes I wake up heavy. There are so many differing opinions up and down about it that I never tell people I am fasting other than my wife.
I found myself gaining so much weight once I got married and had a daughter and I even signed up for a BJJ (grappling class) but was so bogged down with work that I found myself never going and getting heavier and heavier. Not eating was the easiest thing in the world for me to do once I accepted that I wasn't eating and kept myself busy. At a certain point in the day you start to feel better that you haven't eaten (physically feeling better) and you actually have more energy than less. Like I said, some days are different though and it could be because of the theoretical Herxheimer's reaction based on detox (where toxins stored in fat get released back into the system as fat gets burned) so I just drink more and more water. Again, its extreme, its not for everybody but its the easiest, cheapest way to lose weight and feel incredible when you have a schedule from hell. Hope I answered your question!
Intermittent Fasting has been my savior. Between the commute and spending time with the family I don't have much time for working out so IF (eating every other day) has been a godsend for me. It may not work for you but to each his own.
It was once said, "Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM".
Today, nobody ever gets fired for choosing Apple.
I dont know anyone in business who has chosen Apple for the enterprise so I am not sure how that applies. Consumer devices that they personally own and bring in, yes. I can't think of another scenario where people recommend Apple for servers or clients when its actually purchased by the business.
I would advise you to find a small company that doesn't specialize in web/software development. If they don't specialize in web/software development their standards won't be too high and the pressure will not be there because they don't have an understanding of how things normally work. Most likely though you will have to take a lower salary than the industry standard and you will probably be doing techie work also because to smaller companies anyone who knows anything about computers knows everything. Two years of this and you should be good to step it up to another company.
You have no idea how much I am with you. SomaFM with the GrooveSalad station, new Lush station, and the SpaceStation. I cannot fathom how Rusty gets his music but I its probably some of the best stuff I have ever heard. I also listen to Dinner Jazz on Shoutcast btw. Really nice stuff man. Streamripper while you can. That way when the clamp comes down you will still have more than good memories!
It will just prolong the pointless bickering between the two companies.
Not for nothing but saying between the two companies imples that Google actually has been a party to this stupidy. No need to drag them into it when they haven't even said anything. It's like someone accusing you of something and then a third party comes along and says you two need to stop fighting. wtf?

Thanks for the pep talk Danny Downer. Whats a person that loves computers supposed to do then; drive taxis and live off food stamps?
Because you know, guys with guns fleeing after a firefight and a violent encounter with police are totally white, nice and fluffy, model citizens
What does being white have to do with anything?

Phone companies can and do throw people off of their services for breaking their ToS.
AC was a little more specific than ToS. Can you name a phone company that ended someones contract for calling someone they didn't want them to call?

Once they graduate from unschooling then they can master unworking so they can earn their unhome that goes with their unspouse.
