Arguably, Apple returned to Jobs. The technology is all NeXT. The people on the board are mostly ex-NeXT people. Apple is really only Apple in name today.
Hopefully they never let people create websites unless they're licensed professionals...
They're not too far off. I have seen countless job postings by government looking for web designers stating degree in computer science is a requirement. I'm not sure how CS is even closely related to web design. A secretary will use more computer science background in their daily operations. But the requirement still stands.
So you are suggesting that it should be against the law to write a report in a generally accepted format that has been chosen over the years by professionals because it is the best way to present the information to others? How are "laymen" supposed to present their case?
What is the preferred way for the public to submit their arguments? A few hand-drawn sketches on a napkin and maybe a letter full of bad grammar and spelling mistakes?
The submission made no false claims about being prepared by a licensed engineer. Surely, even the most clueless elected officials can verify what is professional engineer work, and what is not? The professional engineering laws exist for that sole reason.
Now that you mention it, Lacy's argument for the lawsuit is pretty good for just a Professional Engineer to come up with. You could almost say that he is practising law...
NextStep was using App in the 80s. Maybe if you go way, way back App was not common, but NextStep easily predates Geocities - given that the first web browser was built on NextStep. iOS is derived form NextStep, so App seems like a pretty reasonable name to choose for the programs that run on it.
You would have to prove that Apple has a monopoly. Android devices are outselling iPhone devices, which indicates to me that Apple is nowhere near a monopoly, but I could be wrong.
Customer service and support has never mattered, unless you are in the business of selling customer service. The only thing that matters in any company is the product(s). Whether you like Apple or not, you have to admit that they have done a fantastic job of creating products that strike an emotional chord in people.
Tax breaks are necessary. It is the only way us farmers can make any profit at all. It is funny to hear all the people freaking out about how expensive food is getting, yet we're still struggling to make a living selling at those "high" prices. I do agree that extending the same breaks to standard automobiles would go a long way, however.
Trucks are far more enjoyable to drive during normal road travel. I'm sure a car is more fun on the track, but I don't take either vehicle to the track.
I'm not the OP, but the nearest Home Depot to me is over an hour's drive away. The nearest car rental place is still a good 30 minute drive and I'm sure you won't find a $19.95 special, or even a $30 special there. I think I'll stick to my pickup truck; which, thanks to tax breaks, cost less to purchase than a car and is more enjoyable to drive to boot.
There was an article recently posted here talking about Facebook deployment methods. One of the points was that they rolled out features to small subsets of their users. Given that it only launched today, if you were using it before, it means you were part of a select group.
Though I do agree that SSL is not a big news story.
While I am skeptical that anyone needs Facebook chat, given that it provides an XMPP interface, couldn't she use Facebook over HTTPS and chat over XMPP?
At least the textarea used while posting content works now. Posting a message of any kind of length using the latest version of Safari was a painful experience under the old design.

Shareholders own the company. If you don't like your boss(es), maybe you should find work elsewhere?

I have a phone cord from Monster Cable. I don't know if I can transfer any more data, but the beeps and bops sure sound a lot better.

Good point. That does sound like the kind of work that only lawyers are licensed to perform.
Most people practice engineering regularly in their everyday lives. Only Professional Engineers need to be licensed.
That is, unless this guy loses the case. Then any kind of intelligent thought without a license will be against the law.

NextStep even used the .app extension for application bundles. A legacy that carries on today in both OS X and iOS.
What Apple did is no different than Microsoft opening an EXE Store for their mobile phones.
I have always known applications or programs as apps. Applets are small utility apps.
The problem was solved a long, long time ago. Modern vehicles can even be adapted to the same basic design. There is really no reason for a little snow to scare anyone.

Publishers will never realize that people pirate their products because of DRM, even if that is the truth.
You cannot hurt anyone with data. There is no such thing as a threat via the internet.

I had to look at the calendar to ensure that today was, in fact, not April 1st.

AJAX typically requires the use of Web 2.0, but is not Web 2.0 itself.
The new design feels significantly faster on my computer. I imagine your slower devices will have much less trouble now.
