I can't believe Samsung phones don't support it. The situation may not be as bad in reality. Apparently Firefox has been supporting it since 3.5 but my guess is people just assume they need to use IE and they'd do well with some education about their options so they know they can use something more secure.
All languages are so similar and that's not changing so only the most inept programming couldn't figure it out assuming they never change the system which is a naive idea.
A seat belt isn't even necessarily to protect yourself but to protect others from you. So I'm not sure that analogy works. Also you'd have a point if there was clear proof that going with SAP or any other buy-in clearly worked better. That is far from the truth. I've seen it go wrong and come in late numerous times. Then when shit goes wrong it can't be fixed asap because there's zero talent within the company and you pay through the nose to get someone to fix it for you.
At a guess he realised it's better to treat your employees well so you can get good talent that does a good job. That and what they really need is probably a fraction of what SAP can do so it shouldn't take that long.
Only a consultant would think that it's better to outsource than to hire competent talent and treat them well.
I suspect more people used it than you think but it's a person thing. People don't talk about it much. iGoogle clearly conflicted with G+ which means Google wasn't going to let it live even if everyone used it. Just like Google reader, if it's not going to help Google take on FB then it goes. There's a whole market now of apps and sites that act as a feed manager. It's certainly popular enough for people to invest their money into entering the market.
It's because Japanese people will care. Americans don't seem to care any more so long as they have their toys and cheap gas. Just look at the people they've been electing for the past few decades.
Apple is a hardware company and now don't make money on OSes not sold with the hardware so what makes you think they'd want to shoot themselves in the foot? You can install what you want on a mac but osx is mac simply because they just want to sell hardware. If you want freely installable unix software use Linux. There's nothing wrong with it.
That's the problem. People who don't know any better set the bar. The vast rise in degrees in IT hasn't seen an equal return in the quality of code. The interview processes are the most broken part of IT hiring. But it might cost money to fix that so it's just easier to off-load the cost to the employee, make them get a degre and hope for the best and just make them redundant when it doesn't work out.
That's fined except full desktop windows vs full desktop iOS on the same macbook hardware sees windows burn through the battery twice as fast. How much do you expect to cut away to get it down to a Mac let along something else?
Even if the Lightning connector isn't the best, I'm not entirely sure how I feel about this given there's no incentive to innovate. Let's say I invent the best possible connector in 5 years. How can it make inroads when legally it can't be used or with an added cost and hassle of using an adapter?
I understand why they did it given companies purposely made their chargers unique so they'd be expensive and couldn't be reused. But why not say any connector is fine as long as it's an open standard?
A lot of Google products are half baked and don't work that well, imo. I'm guess that's why the like calling things beta because they don't have to do a great job.
It has a lot to do with the present. A president doesn't leave and everything he did just goes away. Obama has been awful, there's not doubt about that, but let's not pretend dubya didn't start this shit storm and can still take a lot of blame for current problems. But likewise a lot of the blame also goes to congress most of which were in office during both presidential terms.
Or posting anon because you're talking crap. I would assume there are phones left. No one said they sold out of the 5C and while your company / shop doesn't even mean that much, I'd doubt any unprovable comment given how stupid and angry people get over someone else's choice in a phone.
Given they've out done themselves from the launch I'm sure they're not crying about it. But how do you figure GTA V beats it?
Also, 78.2 million (as of June 30, 2013) 360's have been sold and 75 million (as of February 8, 2013) PS3s. Out of all those potential customers, Rockstar sold around 3.5 million in the US and 250,000 in the UK. Even if globally you round that up to a generous 5 million, that's still almost half of the number of iphones sold and an insignificant percentage of the over all potential market. Sure, their profit numbers are good, they're clearly making a huge chunk off each game, like Apple does for each phone but their actual physical units sold aren't that impressive compared to the iphone sales.

Don't make giant phones and it's not an issue. The 4S fits fine in a back pocket.
How are they trade secrets? That's a load of BS.

Yeah because the Simpsons aren't in re-runs or on DVD / streaming alternatives. THe kids today would just be totally clueless about it.

China is the next big market for everyone to go after. Companies will want to please China, not Taiwan. Surely they can figure that one out.

But it's ok to spend that on a war with brown people, right?

Not really. Here, this might help you out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers#United_States
Seriously, quit trying to force your kids into a career they might not like and teach them to be physical.
Besides, learning to write code isn't that hard. If they grow up being sociable and confident in public. That will get them further.
Doesn't really matter. If they're encrypting it then they can decrypt it so if the NSA wants it then they'll have it.
1 billion the money rockstar made in sales. They sold fewer copies of the game than apple sold iphones. He doesn't know what he's talking about.

For something as important as court cases surely you make a copy so it can't be lost.
The updates aren't forced. You're talking out your ass.
