all true. What struck me :
even if he claims he did it on his own equipment, he must have tested or even implemented it using data files from work.
its own by the company he works for, it's not personal work unrelated to work
These services are not copies or using their trademarks. They're just similar, like google+ is to Facebook or one of the many twitter clones that eventually went away a couple of years ago.
they would probably buy it in a partneship with nokia, so as to not piss off the other Windows Phone 7 OEMs.
the blackberries would probably continue, under WP8
personally I think the BES stuff is obsolete now with the data plans we have, html mails, higher resolution screens, etc. the devices can connect directly to exchange without going through BES.
so all the is valuable here is the brand and the design of the phone hardware.
IMHO it doesn't matter if he thought 4 or 5 years ago that the iphone would have no impact in the business space.
there *nothing* that I can see that he could have done to stop it.
their product is about selling BIS, phones locked down by admin, email machines. if they would have given that up the moment the iphone came in, there would be nowhere today, because they are not apple. It would have not have made their corporate clients' users like their phone better than the Jesus Phone. They are not apple, nobody else is.
it's true that they make devices for sys admins at businesses.
however, around here (subway, streets, restaurents) all the blackberries I see are in the hands of young women who are using it for texting. At work, everyone seems to have iphones now.
maybe a regional thing. but there sure are a lot of pink blackberries out there:)
That's an interesting question. It's being listed because what he study say is that there are more and more new open source projects, and these new projects are using these licenses. Microsoft is publishing a lot of new open source projects and so are users on CodePlex and that is reflected in the study. It doesn't have to be used by many other parties, it's an open source license with the critical mass of projects to be worth mention.
Or it wasn't worth their effort to fight it after it was reinstated. The fact that they didn't fight doesn't necessarily mean the videos were reviewed and cleared. Fair use is a defense in court, not a something defined by law.
The trial is about the removal of the namespace extension. What else do you think it is about?
The juries in the trial are generally confused about what the trial is about and try to make a point the way you are doing here instead of looking at the facts.
Microsoft ALREADY had a separate trial for monopoly and undocumented Apis. This isn't that trial. Novel needs to show damage
I am baffled by this. Removing shell namespace extension during beta is absolutely not an obstacle to a third party shipping a word processor or a data base. The standard Open File dialog was just fine and everyone else used it - and still use it. There is no equivalent on any other OS. It's totally irrelevant to why WordPerfect lost the market and they have proof that the database was late anyway and would not have shipped until the year after. I cannot understand what the other 11 juries saw there that was a predatory move, they probably just don't understand all of this tech stuff, it is quite complex to a non programmer, isn't it.
Factory workers with 80$ data plans and smartphones? The majority of people have older pcs, a subset of those have iPods that they fill from music on the pc. But they are not browsing the web on a smartphone with an 80$ data plans. Or buying 700$ ipads. The entry point for pcs is much lower and that where most people in the world are.
well they make hardware (motion capture sensors) for a niche market.
So it's not terribly likely that their code being stolen will be a big issue, I think. It's a tiny market with few players. In fact, having the code open might make their hardware easier to integrate for some clients with custom solutions, or at least feel safe about it.
No there are two modifier keys as well on Windows. OS X copied the hotkey switching from Windows. On Windows ALT+Tab switches between apps, Ctrl+TAB switches between windows in that application. Just like Apple+Tab and Apple+esc (or whatever it is, I can't remember)
Also, OS X got it wrong at first. The elegance of the Windows ATL+TAB and CTRL+TAB is that you can easily switch to the last two windows when you pressed and released the key. At first on OSX, it always went to the next one. They fixed it for their equivalent of ALT+TAB after release one, but never fixed it for their equivalent for CTRL+TAB.
in the article, you can see that it is largely about change that Paul Miller has a problem with, especially with regards to Microsoft. He says he feels betters with Windows 7 with the poorly implemented Windows 95 theme mode! Are you saying Win95 was a paragon of good design compared to today? that doesn't make sense.
his points about Apple and real-work metaphors not actually being helpful on a computer is a good point, but it's really borrowed from another article (which he links to) and he doesn't expand on that. He just says that the new operating systems are just new lipsticks on the old OS and he's rather use the old OS directly instead and not have all of this glitter.
the ribbon is interesting. you may not like it, but you have to explain why without referring (muscle memory, screen real estate on old computers) otherwise you are just indeed complaining about change.
I think you're right, but as a side note: in the early 1990s, development for the Mac was totally locked down. You had to show your business plan and get approval from Apple to get the development kit. It was totally new for OS X that apple gave away the dev tool; in fact some thought it was out of desperation to get people on the new platform. Now you only need an email address to access developer.apple.com! Back then Microsoft and MSDN was beating everyone with how free and accessible development API and documentation were. (Even though people can complain Visual C or MSC was expensive, command line compiler tools were always free with the SDK. Borland and Wacom also had the full API documentions and tools)
Apple progressively opened to developement through the 1990 and there were third party tools like Think C and Code Warrior (both of which I used), but early on it was damn near impossible to write software for Apple without first getting the making your case to the compan.
Right, because the success of Word Perfect entirely hinged on being able to do something funky in file open dialog instead of using the standard OpenFile dialog, with the customization support everyone uses!! Adobe, Core, Autodesk, no one else had this problem.
That wasn't at all a fundamental function of a word processor AND when you develop on a beta operating system you CAN expect things to change before it ships.
there has to be more to this sentence (ex: maybe there is an eye in lego universe, or this sentence paraphrases something else), because saying the "universe" is ending is not pun.
looks like this is about the standard-based definition header files of glibc, so MS haven't a patch accepted in some other part of linux does't really relate to any of this
your just trolling with the cliché prejudice, but btw the article linked in the post is in French and the poster here is probably french speaking as well.

The DMCA was not used here.
