There is a process to identify how users interface with devices. There is a cost to this. Meetings, trials, feedback, development. It's not free. At my work we have developed a paper process that went through hundreds of iteration. If you look at the paper today you'll say: "That's obvious". It's easy to say that when you see the end product.
So thinking that a simple way of navigating is simple to develop is plain ignorant. People who develop applications and GUIs understand what I speak off.
This article is really representative of the home user base. For the most part businesses still run on MS and will continue to do so for a little while. I know Linux is an option but I don't see it as a well packaged product like MS from a client OS standpoint. In addition their business servers are far too easy to configure to replace them with heavy configuration Linux boxes (Speaking of SMB mostly). In the end, MS is just a client OS. Mac could hop in but they seems to refuse joining the business world by enabling domain like access (last I checked they didn't have support to hop on a domain). I think an OS like Ubuntu could do well if it can make itself more streamlined and allow easy driver install for most PCs built in the last 7 years.
If my application is refused because I used a specific browser, I probably don't want to work for that company anyway. I mean, next thing you know my bonus will be evaluated based on whether or not I put sugar in my coffee.
The way I see it, installing another browser is a waste of time if there's one already installed that does the job. If an old version of IE is installed say 6 or 7, that's a different story.
Well, this could turn ugly for MS depending on what kind of relationship they have built with the game manufacturers. If the game manufacturers have actually pushed for this, it could be that they will support the DRM system and not release some key games on other consoles to force DRM. But that's a long shot.
I can't see MS having made this decision lightly so I'm confused and anxious to see what happens.
It's another step towards haversting hydrogen. The biggest issue is making it renewable. This allows for renewability.There's always a cost to getting energy out of something. Even solar has a high cost per KW if you start including the cost of manufacturing the actual panel cost, it's inability to be ported...
So you're saying it's ok for people who have a lot more money to not have to give back more to allow progression of our social system? I find these people who avoid taxes through schemes like this to be hypocrits. They flourish from the same social system and turn their backs on them by no giving back into the system.
I strongly believe that gun control is part of the solution to reduce this kind of violance without affecting hunters and other hobbiest. The other more important task is to get better support to those in need of mental help. I know bullies leave a mark especially if your one to treat others with respect but then get pushed around by the local morons.
You don't do many sports do you? Anything like watches and jewelery are taken off before activity (usually). Most people want music when they do solo activities like walking. The phone handles that and more so the watch is useless with existing technology. Maybe a few years from now it will have potential.
I'd love to see an idiot look down at his watch while he's playing hockey. Head down = Getting leveled.
Remember the expression: "Don't bite the hand that feeds you" ? Well it's exactly what China continues to do. China offers hardware and we buy it and continue to do so. On the other hand, we make intellectual products and they copy them so they don't have to buy them from us. I wish we could automate more of our manufacturing so we can reduce on dependance on China and make them realise that it's a two way affair, not one way.
Small claims court in Ontario works that way. The person filing has to pay $75 for proceed with legal action and the defendant has to fill a form which he has to pay $40 to submit his defence.
I believe in being as honest as possible. When I see things like this where people take advantage of loop holes it makes me mad. I'm sure I'm not the only one. I'm still waiting for someone to try and patent the wheel.
It's a feature users were asking for. It's not because you don't see value in it that there isn't value.
The feature protects your personnal data from you're work and vice versa. It "APPEARS" to cover the issue of mobile device security in work places where intellectual property is mission critical to protect. That just being a general overview. You can get more details on their web site.
What, because it won't have a level application that doesn't work? Who gives a damn. How many apps do you need anyway??
iPhone is overated. This coming from the owner of an iPhone. The only reason I purchased an iPhone is that there was no good carrier support for Android, BB didn't appeal to me and MS didn't know what they were doing yet.
You're not wrong about the tanks VS infantry but don't underestimate it's ability to battle. Check this video facing off a Land Rover and a modern tank.That's just the tip of the iceberg. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wKfpPrRVIo
Title says it all: 128 GB doesn't make iPad more of a work tool
You still have to build software around it to enjoy a smooth experience. I've seen places that make very good use of tablets and storage was in no way a hold back.
Stretch. I second that. There are EA games I still love but they aren't DRM. So in a way I have avoided their DRM games. What happened to this user is unacceptable especially considering that his write up was very professional.
Unfortunatley for us older gamers, we are stuck dealing with those who don't care about DRM. I'm talking about the millions of kids for which games are purchased by their parents.
The mobile market is not cimented because nobody owns anything that makes or breaks the industry. For that reason BB has a solid chance of regaining a part of the market share. On the other hand, believing they will own as much of the market as they did before is just silly. Wether in the past they failed to follow the market or not, they would have still lost a chunk of the market just due to the availability of alternatives. The more viable options the market offers the more the market is diluted.

What's wrong with tight dresses :)

I would think that whatever didn't need changing would use the same code. You wouldn't recode the calculator if it worked.

Why go to the cabin if you're going to play console games???
Only geeks complain about DRM. Not saying I'm all for it but I can tell you most console users don't give a shit.
BTW, this is a push by the game manufacturers, not the console makers. This is why Sony will have the same issue.

What he did is dumb but what is worst is that people bought in. Just tells you where our priorities lie.

At least having the seperation gives the user a little leverage in court.
The phones are fine out of the box. What critical benefits do people get from unlocking them except to steal from the app store?
This is once again proof that an OS is only as good as it's implementation, configuration and install software.

Compared to which iPhone? I'm in the market for a new phone. Thinking Android, MS or BB. Not sure yet.
