"I will teach my kids whatever I want to teach them."
And that is the problem. Just because you are able to have offspring (which all animals are) doesn't mean you are a good teacher. Most wars and death and destruction came about because the children were indoctrinated by their parents and then grew up with those beliefs.
Its not a question of "coding for 2.x" - its a question of being compatible. The early version of Android were very fully formed, almost all of the fluff added later were in the interface (*).
If someone is making a new app they need to take a look at if they NEED 4.x - most won't - they can make their apps with the features available in earlier version of Android.
"Angry Birds" only REQUIRES version 1.6 - but is compatible with all later versions of Android.
The "must have latest version" is mostly tech pundit circle jerking.

Why do you spam a wall of text you probably didn't understand a word of?
We have a problem now - that there were problems in the past is not relevant - that there were periods where there were no problems in the past is not relevant.
Valuable as in greed - sure. valuable as in propelling the planet forward - hell no, they'll sue anybody over the most ridiculous things - trying to prevent progress.
Oh and time to sell the stock, it can only go down hill now.
Not until they harness the graviton and make antigravity are flying cars likely to be a common item. And that presupposes we haven't singularitied past the need for cars by then.
"68% of the market is occupied by almost all the other smart phone companies put together. In other words, they're all tiny minorities. The iPhone rules."
Not really. it doesn't matter if the Android phones were made by 50000 different companies - they all use Android, and in spite of the whining about "fragmentation" its not that big a problem, its a huge market base, and the iphone is a tiny little runt.
"Remember, Windows PC makers 'dominated' the market and Apple had only a 'small' share. Except, Apple had the largest single company share and the most growth and the greatest profits by far. How many units are sold by all X makers in aggregate isn't really all that important here."
Except it is - because the PC market has made far more money in totalt -who cares what one greedy techphonbic company has done or earned - THAT is the datum which is irrelevant to everybody except their bosses.
"Go back a few centuries and fat chicks were teh hotness."
It usually depends on what is "easy" - when food was expensive and harder to get, being fat meant you were rich and special. Today the cheapest food is the most unhealthy crap that makes you fat.
Just like once most people were outside working in the fields etc, and they all got suntanned - so the in thing was to be as pale as possible. That showed you were rich and powerful, because you could stay inside and didn't have to work. Today most people have to work inside, in their small offices and thus are very pale. So being tanned means you have time to be outside.
"Really? So it's hotter today that it was during the Mesozoic era, when Antarctica was a desert (or even during the Paleozoic era, when it was a swamp)? Hotter than when earth's surface was made of *molten lava*? Really?"
No you fucking moron, its the warmest since they started keeping records not since the planet coalesced.
"That's something I regularly see on slashdot, for example it was a good thing that the guantanamo bay documents were leaked, but it's a bad thing that the Hadley CRU emails were leaked. I figure you'd if you want secrets to be open, that should apply to both the things you like and the things you don't like."
Perhaps its because in the one case there was something wrong, and in the other there wasn't. And then you just know the trolls of the world would start with their ill-informed nonsense

"A belief in god does not have to make you stupid. "
But it does, unless you believe out of fear of living without someone to help you in the afterlife.
"There are radicals on BOTH sides of the issue and they (i.e. YOU) are the problem."
Nonsense. Religion is the problem for the planet.
But don't you worry, there are so many scared people on the planet that religion will probably win.
Or you are really bad at your jobs and just rationalize what you do, like this unprovable supernatural thing in the sky you worship.

So you are poor and broke and who exactly are you blaming for that? Not yourself apparently.
The market is growing even if you are begging on a corner.
So, in conclusion, satellites are melting the ice.
Darn, I thought the ice was causing the satellites.
Only in Soviet Russia!

We have a problem now.
We should do something about it.
Just another excuse to make lame games. Well, he'll get fired soon enough.
No, that is the problem - it was a boring grind which never got any new material.
Valuable as in greed - sure. valuable as in propelling the planet forward - hell no, they'll sue anybody over the most ridiculous things - trying to prevent progress.

Am I right? Did I win something?
This just in: You are a moron.
Yes we fucking know what business are allowed to do - they are alloewd to do what the LAW allows
them to do.
And the LAW is made by society
And societies debate what should be or shouldn't be law.
We are debating whether or not they should be allowed to do this.
And if you won't take part in this, fuck of and play some game instead.

Now get back to the kitchen, woman!

Yeah except bullshit. You don't understand the language (regardless of where you were born) - in this semantic context it clearly means "Invented".
Oh dear.
Where freedom of speech is long dead. But then you seem to embrace that.
Stop generalizing you idiots.

History shows how odd these humans are
Just ask this developer how he feels about the (nonsense) claim that there isn't piracy on ios - Romero is just clueless.
