Q. Is it not obvious to anyone that the Empire is as strong as it ever was? A. The appearance of strength is all about you. It would seem to last forever. However, Mr. Advocate, the rotten tree-trunk, until the very moment when the storm-blast breaks it in two, has all the appearance of might it ever had. The storm-blast whistles through the branches of the Empire even now. Listen with the ears of psychohistory, and you will hear the creaking.
I suspect that the cost of optical equipment required to reach the level of accuracy and durability of this app, the phone, and its $2 adapter, is much less than the professional equipment opticians currently use.
My droid has a nice camera but you wouldn't expect a professional photographer to use one as his primary tool. I suspect this scenario is similar.
There are two definitions of Computer Science in common use. The first is used by CS professors and recent CS graduates. The other is used by everybody else.
I have to disagree. I don't see helpdesk work as being below IT work, just different jobs that require different skills.
If you want to learn work/life skills, you could do just as well working in a restaurant as a cook, busboy, or dishwasher while you're still in high school or college.
Once you graduate, do what you have to to survive, but remember that helpdesk work isn't likely to count as IT or developer experience.
Corporations are inherently subsidized by the government. If you're really a free market believer you should be in favor of reconnecting a company's owners to the consequences of the company's behavior. Count each individual shareholder's profit as straight income and tax it accordingly.
"When will you learn is a lot of cases form is part of function?"
Perhaps when we actually see a good example. Besides, in what way does thin and shiny become part of the "function". The idea that "thinner is better" seems a rather limited artistic position to take anyway.
Sure, but those "painful hours" may be all that's keeping your job from being outsourced.
Besides what business succeeds by putting developers ahead of customers? And customers don't really like you to train them even if it's better for them in the long term - they'll just find someone who will do it their way.
"Technically speaking, hologram is projected to the retina of the eyes."
Only if you believe everything you see is projected to the retina of the eyes. Holograms recreate the wavefront originally reflected off of the actual objects that appear in the hologram. This is the virtual image.
There is also a real image that allows you to create a 2D photograph without using lenses.
As for the Star Wars 3D projection technology is concerned, there's really no reason to call it a hologram. 3D virtual sculptures would be a more appropriate name.
What I mean by "fundamental" is that it's better to incorporate it into your design from the start than add it later. Whether one considers it as a necessary function of an OS is another thing.

I understood your point, but it's a problem only because Apple rushed their phone to market without a fundamental feature included.
"With the iPhone, Apple succeeded in selling a smartphone to consumers by hiding all the complexities of a smartphone like the filesystem and a file manager."
Sure, because managing files is something that millions of PC users have never done before.
It's a reasonable "bag on the side" solution, but they should have designed it for multitasking from the start. Perhaps they needed to see how Android did it before they could implement it.

The commercial was a sneak preview of Jobs' future business plan.

"It isn't like the golden years of the 90's where you got a 100k job just for knowing Front Page"
Where the F**k was I when this was supposedly going on. I suspect that these entry level 100k jobs weren't as common as the legends say.
So, is there such a thing as a BSIT? The only degrees I read about in job ads are BSCS or BSEE.

You make an interesting point because coupons seem to be the remedy in all the class-action suits that I've been a party to.
Can you estimate what percentage of class actions result in payments of "cold, hard, cash"?
"The OP used a concise, well-defined term to describe the idea that he wanted to get across."
You really believe "rapid ambulation" is concise?
I know it's hard to believe but there are still old geeks out there who are neither Linux nor Apple fanboys.

is an advanced capability they need time to figure out how to implement well. iPhone 5 will fix it.
That's the Job's way. Thin is in.
OK, but has this legal opinion been confirmed by any other non-lawyers?
Sure, but those "painful hours" may be all that's keeping your job from being outsourced.

"Well, depends on the definition"
I'm using the actual definition.
"Technically speaking, hologram is projected to the retina of the eyes."
Only if you believe everything you see is projected to the retina of the eyes. Holograms recreate the wavefront originally reflected off of the actual objects that appear in the hologram. This is the virtual image.

The f***'n phone doesn't even work and everybody's talking about the "walled garden".
Holograms are not projected.
