  1. Re:Easy - Intel on Ask Slashdot: Which Tech Company Do You Respect Most? · · Score: 2

    At the time, a long time ago, Motorola was also alive and kicking, and promising. IBM, leader at the time and worried about these new "personal computers", promoted Microsoft software and Intel CPUs along with it. We were numerous to prefer the Motorola architecture and coding. History needs to be seen from both sides of the time period.

    crappy swift ports for other platforms, with zero real-word use, don't count.

    These ports would have to keep up with the huge language syntax changes. Not easy!

  20. Google, big fan of Apple, chose Google X when they first heard about that new Apple project, a rough draft at the time, iPhone X. Then they opted for that other name after reading "Chronicle of magnificence and decadence of a smartphone product line".

    "Netflix's subscriber numbers are usually the best indicator for the core health of the company", indeed. I left Netflix after being a subscriber for some years, and just a month later, got a month free offer (again). Looks like Netflix tries whatever they can to reach the higher number, even for free.
