The thing is, in this life there is critical thinking and there is marketing. The two are related in that successful marketing overcomes critical thinking skills for as many people as possible, and that is what Apple is done. The stronger critical thinkers out there just can't understand how people could be defeated so easily, but it is a fact of life; there are millions of weak thinkers out there. Sad, but that's just the way it is.
We're in the Uber economy! NO ONE is supposed to have a sit down, explore al angles, and determine whether the positives outweigh the negatives! Your supposed to go ahead and do it! Who do these people think they are??
I'll bet they don't even get off the ground! They won't even make a million dollars! Success doesn't happen this way!
I think the important question is, why are we placing so much emphasis on a tool which makes the situation worse? It is like a garage that insists its mechanics only use pliers and a hammer. Your statement kind of misses the point.
While not mentioned here, Singapore also gets very good results with their public education system. They achieve this by having several tiers, each with a dedicated set of teachers. These teachers focus on the students who are placed in the tier corresponding to their level. A student moves up a tier any time they are ready, the goal is obviously to have them as high as possible. A student is in any given tier for as long as they need.
What does the US have? One group of 30 with one teacher, on iPads. Also with a lot of whining from everyone about how high taxes are as it is.
The thing is, you can't really blame the consumer for looking for the best price as that is their role in capitalism. As much as it is the corporations role to make as much profit as possible. It is the government that is supposed to keep a reasonable balance between these two opposing forces and ensure citizens are able to enjoy a good quality of life and they are failing miserably.
It's interesting that you call Uber a steady job. Is there anything preventing them from locking your account on a whim and preventing you from driving? By anything, I mean do you have any legal recourse if it happens and you are the driver. In a steady job, the employer is prevented from doing that.
It saddens me that you think the right to create your own hours is an adequate tradeoff for all other legal protections.
This makes me wonder if schools are even teaching about how American society was before the great depression. Perhaps millennials are so wrapped up in themselves or so disallusioned by the lack of jobs that history is doomed to repeat itself.
Anyone who accepts restrictions from a company and yet doesn't want full labor protection of an employee is either totally naive about how tenuous their situation really is, or is experiencing desperation brought on by a totally shitty economy. Either way, I applaud the California decision, because corporations should not be taking advantage of either.
In other words, Apple alone can't do it for you. You either have to limit yourself to an app or give up exclusive ownership of your files. Square peg round hole. USB is the solution for that and it works elsewhere, so there is nothing to see here.
It's not that osx is too hard, it is just more inefficient than any other window manager. Take the menu at the top as an example. Regardless of where your working window is, you need to move the cursor to the top of the screen to chose an option. I find doing that over and over again is exhausting. On the contrary, Windows and Linux have running tasks and the start menu at the bottom of the screen but you don't need to go there very often. In fact most start menus now you can use simply by pressing the windows key and typing what you want. Osx has plenty other frustrations as well. I find that applications never really maximize properly. The finder window only maximizes vertically in Yosemite, leaving most of the desktop visible. The other day I was trying to maximize xcode on my non-widescreen display and xcode would only stay in a widescreen ratio. I couldn't even resize it down to the bottom of the screen. Also to my knowledge there is no quick resizing feature to only take half the screen as in Windows when you slide to the left or right edge. These are things that I really miss when I use osx, to the point that the OS frustrates me to no end. Also there seems to be so much focus on the touchpad and gestures, but if your programming it doesn't make sense to move your hands to the touchpad so those functions are almost useless for me.
Seriously, if kids can learn to code in grade school then they can earn an MBA. With so many people hopping onto the MBA train from technology and the relative success of it, it seems like a no-brainer to me.
So is running a Taxi service without proper licensing. Why isn't torrenting getting the same pass? It's all for the sake of capitalism bringing people a product they want right?
Web based transfer only works for transferring files, not random access, not executing; as is the case with most protocols. But I have already covered this and now you are repeating that part. I also don't consider this 'just a limitation' since it is something that the vendor is consciously not fixing. This isn't just some bug. This is something
Listen, obviously you have been able to make it work for yourself and you are happy fiddling with the various combinations of using apps and cloud services to accomplish your goal. I just don't want to do that, because that wheel has already been invented a long time ago. I still don't understand how you are approaching the simplicity of plugging in a usb cable and copying a file. All the apps force you to use some sort of protocol for file access which have their own limitations. I just don't want to fight with limitations.
I'm still curious why people knock jquery so badly. I wrote a highly interactive application/wamp client using mostly jquery. The thing just worked on every browser I threw it at. No way that would have happened as easily without jq. I'm not into reinventing fixes to browser quirks.

That's interesting, considering my 10 year old daughter is fine with it in her tablet.

..they are so brilliant that they can just simply work around the impact of any kind of attack. Duh.

When did America go from the land of opportunity to the land of jobs we are forced to settle for?

I feel pretty lucky then. I've had my Samsung Galaxy s3 for a few years now and technologically it works just fine.
Because the wall around the garden prevents me from doing what I want to do with a computer. That is worse then reporting what I'm doing any day.
I'd rather send Microsoft my dick size than go to Apple.
I'm going Linux as soon as I have a chance. Currently enjoying Linux Mint /w Cinnamon for general use.
We have both tab s and tab 4. Honestly, if you are financially constrained, usability-wise tab 4 seems just fine.

Constantly being treated like an unwanted expense might have a lot to do with it.

It all just seems like shoving a square peg in a round hole. Too much messing around making apps do what a filesystem is supposed to do.
