I don't use Facebook. I am on LinkedIn but I never update anything. And I don't care. If an employer wants my years of experience they will take me as I am. If they are going to reject me because I don't waste time on Facebook, then I probably wouldn't last long there. Their loss.
The real question is, at what point do anecdotes become statistically important? How man individual stories do we need to hear before a trends start to emerge? Maybe there's nothing to it, but gather enough personal experience and at the least you will see if and where further investigation is warranted.
The use of Ad Hominem attacks are an age old trick to divert an argument, usually one the attacker is losing. The only difference between today and ancient civilization is that we can publish them more rapidly.
Fragmentation is just Apple's attempt to generate Android FUD. I've owned Android phones since the G1 was release in 2008. I've rarely run into incompatibility issues due to OS or hardware. Doesn't mean it won't happen. Just means it isn't as big a deal as Apple likes to see made out of it. Sure, if you break down the distribution by manufacturer, then Apple appears to be leading the world. Of course, someone should ask Gil Amelio how that analysis worked for Apple back in the 90's.
A friend of mine has worked installing automotive glass for years. Every time someone asks him, "I want a sun roof but how I do I keep it from leaking?" his response is simple. "If you don't want leaks, don't cut a hole in the roof of your car."
I've watched the computer industry over the last 30+ years and if there is anything to be learned from history, there is no such thing a "secure" system. Wanna keep a secret? Don't write it down and don't tell anyone.
I used to have an old WWII "hack" watch (the second hand could be set to sync time accurately). It was complete with old radium painted face. That thing was tough as hell.
We do have to come up with a better word than "GAY" to describe things that are unnecessarily frilly, froofy and effeminate. How people love really has nothing to do with it.
Nerdlinger? Nothing nerdy about this device. A nerdy device would have an expansion port and, possibly, an open chip socket. The OS would be definitely be user-flashable. This is a wanna-be device all the way.
Remember, real nerds play First Edition rules.:)
You notice lately how serious security flaws in widely used open source libraries have been exposed lately? Google brought the openSSL issue to light and bash's vulnerability was exposed by RedHat. I wonder if there isn't a new push to lock down the obvious back doors.
I'm pretty sure the Bolsheviks were in there somewhere. Or was it the Martians? (They're all commies too, ya know. Why do you think they call it the RED planet?)
What are you, some kind of godless communist? Next thing I suppose you'll expect is the right of free speech and free assembly. We spent decades fighting the Bolsheviks just to have a bunch of lilly livered liberals whining about human rights and personal liberty? What is this world coming to?

Forget to put on our tinfoil hat and take our medication this morning did we?
Can't think of a response the argument presented? Just resort to Ad Hominem attacks against the writer instead.

Can it generate a sub-sonic wave tuned to harmonize with a rock wall and cause it to crumble?
How about citizen's initiatives at a national level? Then the people would have at least one way of knowing their vote actually counts.

Another thing to break and cost thousands to repair.
Astrophysicists have been saying this for years. The distances are too vast and velocities are just too limited.
Apple, choose exclusivity over the larger market? When has that ever been a problem for them? :)
Hell, I'm still waiting for flying cars, art deco robots and my vacation home on Venus.

You might have me there, but when looking to replace a lost copy of the DMG, one has to be VERY specific. :)

5) You can have class and style and look a hell of a lot better for a lot less money. You just won't look like a trendy fanboi.

Years ago, when I wore watches, they had to be waterproof because I never took them off. One less thing to have to f' with in the morning.
there were self winding watches.
I fail to see the bullshit here. Are you saying the tapes are fakes? Please contribute rational statements instead of ad hominem attacks.
