These companies just start enticing kids to learn programming by going back to the promise of a good long career with many possible promotions along the way for good hard work?
When you have to malipulate people into entering a segment of industry, there is something very, very wrong.
OMG I hate trackpads. Give me a trackpoint any day. Trackpads are good for lying in bed surfing the web one-handing it, but I'm an admin and frequently work with small fonts. Hand-to-keyboard, hand-to-trackpad, Hand-to-keyboard, hand-to-trackpad, Hand-to-keyboard, hand-to-trackpad, all day drives me nuts.
Personally, I don't even look at the weight of a laptop. Usually the other stuff I have in my laptop bag far exceeds the weight of the laptop, and that's what they make laptop backpacks for. As for battery.. I don't trust batteries in any device, ever. The technology just sucks. I'm plugged in 99% of the time.
So stop using words like 'targeting'. There are no lost souls here, only entertainment and perhaps a bit education. I know how to count to ten in Spanish do this day thanks to Seseme Street; and I'm Canadian.
Not just used books. I can go to costco and find decent new books for way under the list price. This versus the eBook which is almost always full price.
Until eBooks reflect their true price considering lack of cost to distribute and print, I'm not sure how you can say they are 'coexisting'. eBooks often exceed the cost of their physical books.
I'm very sad to hear about your S3. I am trying to make mine last as long as I can. It's doing ok. I have two batteries. So glad they are replaceable because the factory one is messed up and dies at half charge. Thinking about buying another one.
We have Apple's massive profits to blame for that. If people want to buy bling then resources go into bling. I am still trying, but I cannot get used to OSX. I really want to figure out how a Mac expert does things but I just can't seem to find a fluid way to do anything. That is the way the whole industry has headed. I wish I could say that capitalism looks out for tech's best interests but it isn't so.
Same here. I got tired of paying $10 per use due to cloggage. I bought a scanner / color laser for regular prints and started sending photos to Walmart. Even then I would try harder to buy a laser printer with less expensive toner cartidges.
I did an analysis once and it seemed the black stylish laser printers cost more per page to refill then the beige office tone ones, generally speaking.
To say that it *is* unix means that it should be accessible like unix, which means a filesystem, which isn't accessible. Otherwise it is just an appliance that happens to be built with unix.

People are just too fussy. There is such a thing as 'good enough'.

Is Thunderbolt actually practical for anything you couldn't otherwise be using USB or network for at half the price?
I just found out about it the other day. I'm sure I was the last one.
Let us all set back and appreciate the scariest bit of C code ever written:
main( ) {
printf("hello, world");
}
It won't be until 6G that the machines will rise up and overtake humanity..... Right?
Doozers!!

Yes.... Because everyone wants a cord that attaches their phone to their briefcase. So convenient!
Really? It takes three minutes to replace the battery and boot. You're that worried you're going to miss a call?
It seems pretty obvious to me that he should have raised everyone together on the same scale, then adusted for performance.

Oracle shouldn't be charging people for their right to have a warm standby server.

Can you name any television companies that are completely American made and sold in big box electronic stores?
..because I heard they were hiring.
Provided you are willing to move or lucky enough to live with a great many jobs to sustain you.
So when they let you go, you can say you gave it the *ol' college effort*.

I'd say it is like buying a car and not knowing how to do simple things, like add oil or washer fluid.
