I'm aware it's not just google. Though Google does have the most to benefit from rapidly push us into a internet only sort of world. Now that they can go off and do their own thing. Why shouldn't Microsoft go off and do their own thing or do it with their own group of companies to lend it more legitimacy. The W3C can die off and we can have a bunch of groups all doing their own thing.
I'm aware of that. But Google also has the most invested in web applications taking over and always implementing features first gives them the perception of being the most feature filled browser and it may piss off others and then cause them go off and do their thing own thing and it all becomes a mess because we've decided it's better to split off and do our own thing rather than work together.
No need to get butt hurt. You're right about MS. They had the most to lose by Office losing its dominance by having a free standard controlled by someone else. Google isn't the only company in WHATWG but they're certainly the biggest one who has the most to gain by pushing everything into onto the web and of course they have the most to lose if that doesn't happen or takes too long.
It doesn't matter to them if we head back to a dark age where developing a site that supports all browsers is a PITA.
What better way for Google to control the web than to keep pushing the standard foward so it turns out Chrome has the best support for everything first.
Microsoft failed to try and conquer the web by creating their own standard and my fear is google just figured out how to do it out in the open by always changing it.
And if you make it too fast it ruins it for a lot of people. There is no reason the HTML5 standard needs to change that often if it's well thought out in the first place.
I'd say you're wrong. in a very vague sense car interiors haven't changed much but then if you actually compare the interior of a brand new car to a car from the 50's you can see a lot of though and yes innovation has gone into improving cars interiors.
Incorrect. The exact and whole design of the ipad design is patented. The patent is not for a rectangular tablet. Otherwise they could sue every single tablet maker but they don't. It just happens, whether people want to admit it or not, the tab 10 copied a lot of stuff and went out of its way to look like an ipad.
So long as the CP party doesn't use anything illegal why should they not be ableadvertise or run? If people don't want a party that legalises CP then it will never pose a threat.
In some countries they believe in fair elections and if you're going to give fair and equal time to all of them. I know the US is used to elections being something rich people buy but that's not free countries work.
You didn't really read what I said if you're asking if Apple have a recycle program. Apple no only don't charge you buy, in some cases, give you money for it in the form of a voucher. But there's not much point in saying that as I'm sure you won't read this and just reply with whatever you want to say no matter how nonsensical.
Of course. All sorts of electronics end up in land fills because some people don't care. In fact I imagine that's where most user replace laptop batteries end up. Apple adds an incentive to do the right thing by offering a gift voucher in some cases but that's not going to stop everyone from doing the wrong thing.
You don't know what you're talking about. Testing costs $80-$100 per person hour. $40K is a team of 6 people testing for two weeks. What's unreasonable about that?
I see nothing in there that specifies that. You made a vague statement and now you're just picking the most expensive thing you can think of so no one is putting words in you're mouth, you're just moving the goal post.
AMD is really good, imo. The only issue I have it using my 40inch tv as a second monitor on an old laptop so get a few random glitches. I don't know if that's due to driver issues or my graphics card isn't quite up to the job.
That or (most likely) it's yet another Ubuntu 12.04 regression.
Companies often pay contractors a higher base pay in lieu of benefits, but Danny only made $10 an hour. Extrapolating this data, means the average salary for a full-time position is roughly a meager $20,800
Average Salary by Location The average video game tester annual salary in the U.S. across all levels of experience was $37,905 according to the 2010 Game Developer Magazine salary survey. In comparison, testers in Canada averaged $37,375 (USD) per year and testers who worked in Europe reported earning $29,500 (USD) per year. There was a significant decrease from the reported salaries in the 2008 survey, particularly in the European job market, when the average salary across all levels of experience in the U.S. was $39,309, in Canada it was $37,500 and in Europe was $36,000 annually.
Average Salary by Years of Experience The 2010 Game Career Guide reports that 40 percent of the testers working in the industry had less than three years of experience and averaged $30,714 annually and 47 percent had between three and six years of experience and earned an average annual salary of $36,667. Only 13 percent of testers had more than six years of experience and earned on average $67,500 per year.
I'm not saying you're full of shit but back that up with some proof. The wages of people at games companies in the area don't pay anywhere near the levels you claim and they're more in line with what I've found online. I find it *really* hard to believe MS is paying significantly more for the certification process. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if most of it's automated with one low paid grunt starting the game up to give a quick glance visually.
You sound just like A microsoft fanboy. No one could possibly be better than your favourite monopoly. Google maps is good but there is enough comeptition out there that is good enough that you shouldn't have to tie yourself to one company.
Amazing how expensive the whole process is yet other companies manage to run their services without bleeding customers to death and, at a guess, probably not bleeding developers as much.
Seriously, what has google succeeded in other than writing really smart code? I'd expect the packaging to be a bit of a fuck up give they fail consumers at things like cutomer service. Seriously, I mean like fucking message boards for customer support and pretty much relying on other customers to answer the questions?
Their api docs are often out of date and they push android devs to stackoverflow to get questions answered.
I'm not surprised they end up killing off so many services, they can write the code but they lack everything else to make a quality solid over all package.
You mean like all the dorks crying that they're not getting their nexus 7 yet while people are walking into shops and picking on up? Yes, it is first world problem shit but first world people shit can make people change their mind on what to buy and when you fuck up something so basic it really makes it look like you don't care so why should I believe the hardware is high quality?

Or stuff like this, as noted by one of their WHATWG partners. https://twitpic.com/a9cji2

Exactly. But likewise it can be argued Google should then give up their serach patents and everyone else's mobile patents should be a free for all.
Why use something weak like Android when you can have a real Linux distro?

At least it didn't mention that.
Probably because I made it up of course.

And it sounds like Microsoft is will to change their mind when it suits them. http://www.edge-online.com/news/minecraft-prompts-change-xbla-update-process
Which implies to me it isn't that expensive and they are just milking developers for all the cash they can just like they do with customers.

$40,000 is a realistic price? http://www.edge-online.com/news/schafer-console-patches-cost-40000
Sorry but that's just fucking ridiculous given they probably don't even pay a tester that as a annual wage.
And you have to pay for such awesome treatment as a customer too.
