You can teach anything to pretty much anyone (unless you're trying basketball with a midget or something), but for some people it'll be second nature, while for others a whole lot of hard work.
The study showed that a pair of twins would drive the same car (brand, model and color), chain-smoked the same cigarretes, spent vacations in exactly the same place (1500 miles away from home and only 3 blocks apart), named their dogs the same, etc.
Genetics accounts for over 50% of of the personality differences in people and 30% in occupational and leisure interests.
Not saying it is a deciding factor, but it is by far the most important. But please tell me what's the point in having a team of basketball midgets...
If your want to read it, in the 11th edition you'll find it on page 94 - chapter 4.
Studies conducted on twin brothers separated at birth tend to conclude that most twins will end up with similar skills, jobs and interests. It's not overrated, it's fact... The book is actually quite interesting, I advice you to read it if you can get your hands on it.
For some, yes. Same way playing basketball isn't commonplace (even though PE classes are mandatory pretty much everywhere) or simply writing correct English.
Genetic predisposition will always play a key factor in all of this.
Well, if you own an application that is that popular you'd be screwing yourself over if you ever did that.
But betrayal by a trusted source is actually the worse kind of attack, since you never see it coming. I don't even know if Apple's app store would be able to help you there... Do they review every patch you make to the application or just the first submission?
Well, it might be possible, but I don't think it'd be easy to hide a 5M downloads app with malware in it. The only real risk I see in all this is a compromised developer computer and passwords (for those than don't know, all apps need to be signed by yourself - that's not easy to achieve if you're not the person).
Besides you needing a facebook account, CyanogenMOD has a reputation, making it a trusted source. I would install their market, but I wouldn't be caught dead with that one in my phone.
oh, I'm not against using social network data to rank searches, what I'm against is getting people involved.
google has been crawling my e-mails for data, or even tracking my interests for ages, and as long as I was user #124517851 that's fine. Names make it way too personal and creepy.
What I recall was facebook declining access to google unless they payed shitloads of money (there was even a spat because they blocked google and then google blocked facebook access to gmail) and twitter wanting shitloads of money to grant access to their message stream.
They wanted to monetize their information so bad google thought it would be cheaper to launch their own social network... That's saying something.
Now that they kind of "succeeded", they cry.
Either way, no search engine should be giving social media results, but that's my personal opinion.
Their database solutions. All the rest has always failed or had mediocre success. Furthermore, most of the projects they acquired from someone else failed.
Java is doomed unless someone else picks up the slack.
So, if someone robs my home they can get all the supposedly secure information stored in my machine if they also take the charger? And this passes as secure? As you kidding me?
If they want an external piece of hardware to unlock my computer, just make it use the IR or Bluetooth and be small - so I can keep it on my person. Other than that, it'll be pretty much useless.

I don't see your problem. It's not like they won't be supporting the standard, investing on their platform (that they even consider big enough to be your whole PC UI).
I, for one, like the idea that I can have desktop quality applications running independent of platform on my browser - and wouldn't mind if this became the standard. By uniting all OS'es under this platform, I don't believe that there is fragmentation (what exists now IS fragmentation)
Gee, I dunno, maybe because there are dozens of dictators, generally dangerous countries and places that really needed some help getting their revolution groove on...
But the US only seem to find a reason to get into armed conflict when there is oil involved. They don't literally steal, they just help you "conquer" your country back and then "request" "payment".
I know I'm going to get the flamebait mod, but this is actually the general opinion of the rest of the world about most of US wars.
The problem is not the need for the giant button, it's that it is on by default in some routers.
I own a D-Link and I did set up everything by hand, but since I didn't want to use this, I simply didn't touch the option - assuming that, by default, this would be off.
I was wrong, and corrected that, but I wonder how many of those people that use the setup wizard know enough to even get to the advanced features, much less turning this off because it is a security risk.
Well, they only thought about integrating most features that already existed for ages into iOS after Android started to bite their heels. That's my point. For 2 years now Android isn't trying to catch up to iOS on nothing, although iOS with tethering optios, notification bars (for example) has. My next bet is a new keyboard - it was good when it came out, but from 2.3 on the android keyboard is miles ahead, not to mention the best keyboard ever - swiftkey.
I was the first to state that with 8 hours Iris could mimic Siri (or a big part of siri) and it fooled most people. For a siri like performance you would then have to have a dedicated server for natural language processing and interpretation... Something that will come, some day, when google wants to. But that's the "only" real extra feature Siri has. And my hat off for Apple for seeing that it was needed (for the most part google only thought about understanding what you spoke really well and discarded the rest).
And voice controls is something any Android device can download for free from the market (same as most google apps, actually). It's a feature, but it isn't forced on you (neither is maps, navigation or google docs), and if you want you can simply use any other Voice Control app out there that doesn't rely on that ( I use https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cyberon.cvsd because there is no language barrier).
Lastly, Android's multitasking is miles ahead of most mobile platforms (again, if you're using a nice phone). Just staring at the logcat and seeing all the stuff going on in the background will give you and idea of why it is awesome.
I hate it when people say things like this. Voice control was a voice dialer that let you play music. Android has had a voice dialer since it's first version (so did every phone). I meant voice commands like sending sms's, taking notes or doing searches.
The proof that Android has comparable technology to Siri is that Iris was done in 8 hours (and since then there are dozens of siri like apps on the market). The main features Siri has that Android voice commands doesn't is the agenda interaction and a nice UI that responds to the user. Something that a small team can hack up in less than a day without much trouble and end up fooling most of you, it seems. And that tech was there since 2010.
Both copy past and multitasking were introduced first on Android (hence, Apple catching up instead of "leading the pack")
Android browser had copy-past 2 months before it was introduced on the iPhone.
Multi-tasking is a base feature of Android since, at least, the 1.6 (that I tried). Most likely there since the beginning, but not sure..
I meant real voice control. You've had voice dialers and basic commands on almost every phone since forever... Nothing revolutionary there.
What I meant is real voice commands, like sending e-mails, doing searches, phoning things not on your list, get navigation instruction, send sms's, take notes, etc. More or less everything Siri does now (except maybe control the agenda), but not with a nice UI and phone feedback.
I thought it was the OS that is catching up to iOS, but I guess now it is the development environment... Give it time. At the rate at which Android is outselling iOS the sheer number of users will compensate that.
But I won't discuss development environments. There are very few apps on iOS that are still exclusives. If you want to make money nowadays your best bet is not to place all your eggs in the same basket. So your point is moot.
I still want to know what is that distinguished iOS feature that android lacks and that makes it be trailing Apple.
Regulated, Amazon App store. Windows Marketplace is also regulated.
The thing is, profitable or not, most of the main applications now support both systems. If I'm the end user I don't really care where I play angry birds nor do I care that Rovio did more money on iOS than Android (free app with adds btw).
And I asked features that no one else has. I could say iOS lacks a truly free Market where anyone can publish their apps without fear of rejection or where your business model can be decided by yourself and not Apple. Obviously both approaches have their advantages but that's not a "feature", especially one that everyone should aspire to have.
No, you see, you got that wrong. The only features apple introduced in the last year are picking up where Android left. Voice controls (siri), social network sharing (and only for 1), the notification bar with "limited widgets", simple things like copy past or multi-tasking.
Apple set the bar 3 or 4 years ago. Then almost 2 years ago Android got to where iOS was and now it's surpassing it on almost every aspect (comparing top of the line phones, obviously). Sure, the overall user experience of iOS is great, but saying that Android is catching up to iOS is ridiculous.
And please tell me those "features" no one else has that iOS does.
n the Sixties, we could put a man on the moon. Nowadays, laments , America's tech giants can't even put a rotary dialer on the phone. Almon Brown Strowger managed to crank out a patent circa 1891.So did many others! So, why — at a time when development has never been easier — can't Google, Apple, and Microsoft manage to use rotary dialers? Or other retard proof dialers for landlines, mobile phones and even VOIP clients!?

You are talking about unofficial chinese app stores? Is that your point of comparison?
How many trojans ever got anywhere that far in the official market?
Is a computer that controls anything like this connected to the exterior instead of it's own private network?
Why?!
