1. Go into the apple store with an issue and try to talk with one of their angry "Geniuses" without a "Reservation", then let me know how amazingly satisfied you are.
2. Samsung is not the only company to make android phones. It's like saying, I hate PCs because my Dell Keyboard sucks. Who is another manufacturer, LG? You know both companies make a bunch of the parts for your iToy right? All while you forget about the Sari servers being up and down for weeks, wifi not working, and so on and so on. The iGirls are up to their brims with customer satisfaction over buying into their apple cult regardless of what iDevil is poking up their rares.
3. Source for customer satisfaction? I hear customer satisfaction for Power Wheels is ALLAYS ranked higher than Toyota. I think I'll trade in my Prius for a mini Jeep with built in Speak and Spell.
When they say "devices lack enough RAM and ROM to run Android 4.0 alongside TouchWiz and other custom 'experience-enhancing' software", what they really mean is "Buy one of our new phones or get nothing". My question is, does Apple have a patent for "Creating expensive hardware which will be replaced within 6 months and will never work right with upgrades"? I see a suit coming on.
Nice! I rocked those crazy tests. It's funny, C++ started getting taught right when I was taking it. Before it was Pascal. I'm pretty sure the second year non-AP class was Pascal (honors pascal), then once I got to my Junior year it because C++ instead. Imagine AP PHP?
I actually think this is a major problem with schools today. It has become more about students and standardized curriculum than preparing kids for the real world. Teachers are no longer the boss, when shit hits the fan it's the parents are the boss. Who cares what kids want? They have no experience with anything, have never done anything, and are pretty much useless until shown otherwise. If you don't know what you want in a computer lab, why would they?
If they want to get used to working in a real-world computer environment:
1. Terrible and abrasive neon lights.
2. Cubicles.
3. Every 5 minutes someone in the class needs to bother another student with a stupid question. Focus is a perk not a right.
4. Randomly stand over a students shoulder and demand a demo, and a reason why the project is not done yet.
5. If the students work is not progressing, fail them and outsource a student from India.
Time-waster? I got a job as a developer, Android development is a fun hobby (you know, until I take over the world). Right now I'm working on a midi-over-wifi based 24 track mixing control surface in Honeycomb. Doesn't really seam like a waste of time, regardless of whether I try to sell it to someone or not.
I understand paying for a phone, but paying Apple so I can put a program on my phone? Seams like blasphemy. As far as I'm concerned, if I'm paying 400 bucks for a dumbed down version of a dumbed down OS, I should be able to do as I wish.
What is your experience with Android on Eclipse in Linux? Although I haven't programmed on a mac since codewarrior and that one-button mouse (they have changed that right?), I just don't believe that Apple is putting out feature-rich IDEs with the kind of robustness that Eclipse has.
Simple... if you have a 3 person IT team at a 300 employee company and your site / it infrastructure isn't in nuclear meltdown your probably doing good.
Looks like they are going out of house for IT. Welcome to the cloud-future, where your job is dissolved for magic.
Ha, pretty good is about as good as it get's in my experience. I've never developed with the perfect IDE or perfect language (you know, coldfusion aside of course). I mean, right now I am using Netbeans and working on a way-more-complicated-than-it-should-be oracle sql statement... talk about almost good enough. I guess I will never find out about iOS, as I would rather give up computing all together than put out a few K on an iPlayToy.
BTW, I'm not an android fanboy or anything. I just don't get all the hoopla with macs. They were always a joke until iPods somehow made people want their children-style starter computers. Now all of a sudden if a child can't learn it in 3 minutes (the iPad), it's too complicated for people.
Seriously, you have to pay to develop with iOS? Has to be on a Mac? Do I have all this right? Do they make you pay for the IDE as well?
I am a developer by trade, recently taught myself android 3.2 dev. Code wise, I have to say I do enjoy java coding (I get sick of bs web dev). Tool wise, it's pretty good in Eclipse. It's free. Maybe, since I am developing android as a hobby, I guess it just blows my mind that they don't open development on iOS to everyone, on any platform. Can I develop iOS in Linux, or do I have to use that scratch and sniff (Spring fart smell) Mac OS?
Maybe Google should only allow android dev on Linux under a monthly subscription plan. Apparently boxing everything in and constantly charging, re-charging, and over-charging your user base (including development talent) is the recipe for success.
This makes perfect sense, because offensiveness is completely objective. In fact, the terms of being offended are as woven into the human condition as being bi-pedal and having five fingers; as is apparently the humans knack for devolving society. Great stuff India, this is definitively what you should spend your time and resources enforcing.
1. I'm not an apple fan, at all, so I will just skip the whole apple love change the world sparkly sprinkles one-button BS part of this. In fact, I'm of the opinion that Apple makes technology less cool to the people who thought technology was cool to start off with.
2. I'm a developer. 10 Years. I work for a hip company in LA. Still not cool. No one is like, holy crap it's so cool that you can program an app that makes the sound of beer pouring when you tilt your phone. When people ask me what I do at a party / bar, it usually ends with a question about how to fix their printer. Not cool.
3. I was never very accepted into the "Geek" circle. I remember in my freshman year, living on a 'special' dorm floor with the best programmers in the school, my girl-gettin' party'n ways just did not fly. When they would work with me in groups or on projects, the "geeks" would say stuff like... "wow, I'm really surprised you came up with that algorithm" or "I didn't realize you already knew how to program". In general it seams harder to get in with the Geeks then with the "cool" crowd.
4. I'm a social person and I program better in a quiet dark room. Programming can obviously be a socialized process, but if I'm running down a bug or creating a complex new feature I don't want anyone being social with me. Period. That's what meetings are for.
5. Programming is far too complicated and inaccessible to be cool. Cool is something that is available to the median and celebrated by the masses. Maybe phone apps are cool, but not the method by which they are built. And I don't consider wordpress or html programming.
6. Anyway, if you start programming to be "cool" it's likely that "cool" isn't in the cards for you.

Wouldn't it be prudent for the inventor of "RSA's SecurID token" to say that basically any security system other than his is ineffective?
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! AP Advanced C++ Flashback! Seriously, this is exactly how my high school CS classes were organized.
