    Great point. And not mention that Spotify has a free tier which many listeners are totally happy with that level of service. If they want to compete with Apple and Google they need to eliminate the free service option.

    That was my first thought. If an inspiring programmer can't install a program using a simple GUI installer, then It's going to be a very rough road to writing "Hello_World."

    But back to MS: they absolutely are critical and relevant, because everyone's PC runs on their software. .

    Seriously, when you use hyperbole and straight-out lie, I stop listening. There are a lot of PCs that don't run on Windows. Millions run Mac OS, Various Linux distros, and Chrome Os is making a huge dent in the educational market. Windows and MS Office isn't as important and prevalent as they used to be. They are a hugely important company, but they are not as influential on the PC market as they used to be.

  6. Besides we already know the truth of the matter. Small and independent developers are hard pressed to be able to survive on anything the store brings in. Discovery is wonky as hell, you may get kicked out for squinting at the sun wrong, or Apple may decide your app should now be part of their core functionality. In any of those cases, I wouldn't quit your day job even if you do get an app in the store.

    I agree. But an independent, talented developer has the means to develop a hit application and be reasonably compensated.

  7. The phone came with wired headphones and an adapter for you to use with your current set. so saying that the phone requires wireless headphones is completely untrue.

  11. It's not Bullshit! It happened to my work computer and several of my co-workers! We were told by our IT department several times not to upgrade. I can't remember how many times I had to decline the offer to upgrade to Windows 10 -- and still the damned machine was upgraded! So frustrating!

    I wish I had some points to mod you up. You are spot on. The NCLB law has created a new kind of legal and subsided segregation. The one's with the means to leave so called "failing schools" have already left. These schools are left with the struggling lower - socioeconomic kids .

  22. Re:Technology to deliver personalized lessons on Melinda Gates: Facebook Engineers Have Solved One of Education's Biggest Problem · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I just looked at their job postings and it seems that a teacher will only have between 16-24 students in a given school year. So, this would be very manageable for a teacher. This is a great model, but it will only educate a few. This is not novel in anyway. There are plenty of small, learner-centered schools, but they are expensive. As some pointed out, this has been done since the 1960s. There is no away to economically educate the masses with this educational model.
