You retired at 51 == they kicked you out after you were no longer able to hide your incompetence, and now work at Walmart to make ends meet. Your bosses both at your old job fixing PCs and now are women, that'S why you hate them.
Our planet, has, in it's history, quite provably been over 10 C warmer, due to different carbon levels. That's huge, FYI. Earth has a proven history of going extremely warm(and no one is saying Venus is our future, thanks for the implied strawman there). That kind of change would murder our system of agriculture, almost everywhere.
Not exactly, higher CO2 levels and warmer temperatures would provide more arable land, more plants absorbing CO2 etc. That is one of the feed backs that mitigate CO2 concentration buildups. I do know that plants in higher CO2 concentrations can handle higher temperatures. Raising the CO2 concentration to 1500ppm in an enclosed green house promotes plant growth and the plants do much better at temperatures up to and a little above 32.2c (90f) I did a study a few years back on that and was surprised at the results.
So did you also look at the increased demand for water and nutrients of those plants Or do you assume they would just magically appear?
interesting.... however the problem lies in the fact thats it is higher than they thought, meaning it COULD still be worse than they thought, meaning AGW MAY NOT be the doom and gloom some make it out to be.
So you find the possibility that non-man-made Global Warming may actually be much worse than man-made Global Warming reassuring.
Ah, you mean the stock is a few pennies higher than its all time high, from two years ago. So do you give him a D for driving the stock price down 50% for those two years?
No, he gives him an A because the stock never fell lower than when he took over.
$15 billion since 2008... minus Apple's 30% cut... that's 10.5 billion... over 7 years... $1.5 billion a year.. divided by 300,000 iOS jobs created in the US equals $5,000 over 7 years, or $714 per dev per year average.
This doesn't take into account the people working in the rest of the world,
It also doesn't take into account all the people who get hired as iOS app programmers, working on free apps. Like those working for Google, Facebook, airlines, Nike, etc.
. I can play around with the tools and creating apps as much as I want without spending a dime. It's only when I want to put an app on actual device that I need to spend the money.
You already had the OSx running Apple device then?
Well, yes, those who didn't hop on the train because there's money to be made, they already had a Mac and experience in programming for OS X - which helped them programing for iOS. Or rather "iPhone OS" as it was recently renamed from "OS X for the iPhone" back then.
Okay, why do people (well some people) always whine about Apple taking 30% while they are absolutely okay with Google taking the same 30%? Not to mention them cheering for Amazon when they take 65%?
so at the very worst all you've lost is your time?
Because my time is worth much more than the fee and the development hardware I would have to buy. If I could eliminate a week of testing due to having a more restrictive platform, I've made up the difference in dev costs.
Depends on the country. In the US Apple users spend more, in China not so much.
China was the key market for iOS App Store growth, showing exceptional gains in both downloads and revenue. iOS App Store revenue in China grew around 70% quarter-over-quarter. - See more at: http://blog.appannie.com/app-a...
Apple's categorizations are consistent with national demographic categories. All the ethnicities you list would fall under "Asian".
(The US as a whole is about 73% white, or 63% non-Hispanic white, meaning whites are underrepresented in Apple's workforce, no matter how you count.)
Maybe you missed the part about Apple being a Californian company. According to 2011 US Census Bureau estimates, California's population was 39.7% Non-Hispanic White
Is this a problem? Personally, I don't think so. It just means that more women are interested in teaching younger children, and the men who are there are because they want to be. I doubt there's some grand conspiracy to prevent men from becoming kindergarten teachers.
Yeah, the fact that men just happen to be in the teaching jobs that get paid better is total coincidence.
Thanks for your anecdata - at my university it was just the opposite. Oh, no, wait, that was computer science not IT. Yeah, I guess males are better fixing computers.
Gotta agree that's stupid. First, you can only hire people that are available with the skills you're looking for. So if you don't have "diverse applicants", you'll never get "higher numbers".
Second, I hope he doesn't mean it, but it sounds like Cook want to be more diverse to look more politically correct. If I were a stock holder, I'd be upset.
Well, first of all, this report comes as a result of stockholders being upset. And second, it was all about the diversity within board of directors and the upper management (aka "leadership). Where white males were overrepresented compared to the "tech" diversity (hiring a bunch of white women improved one statistic recently, getting Dre onboard upped the black score). It's all in TFR.
So Amazon is in the clear because they dump for a long time. Because "that wouldn't make sense". Apart from driving all competition out of business because you have the deeper coffers.

a) What about the hiatus?
The hiatus that disappears if you don't start in 1998?

I know about this, and I use it, it's how I bring up /etc. Still, a royal pain in comparison to say, Windows 95 B.
That's about the only thing where W95 is better - and barely at that.

The Play store "people you know" ratings are surprisingly helpful.
Problem is, unlike Google Apple doesn't spy on you. They don't pilfer your contacts to give you (and others) valuable information like that.

30% off the top is pretty substantial.

So you don't test your apps for Android? http://techcrunch.com/2012/06/...

Are you joking? That's irrelevant since Apple recruits from around the country.
Apple recruits from around the world - so why should US demographics play any role?
Wow, you really suck at Math - and you work in IT?

When working conditions are so bad that suicide is a better alternative, I would say that is a real problem.
Way to blame Apple for Robin Williams' death, just because he was in a recent Apple ad.
This goes in the 50% of marketing. If you have a diversity policy, it's a diversity policy. If you communicate over your diversity policy, it's PR.
Yeah, it's always PR. Like when Apple refused to release their diversity numbers back in march last year, it was bad PR.
Oh i'm sorry is that horse not dead yet? perhaps he wasn't referring to the one thing you seem to be sure he was referring too..
So what did he refer to? The fact that Apple is no longer committed to making transparent, errm translucent cases?

Yes, they do. Are you too dumb to understand, you terrorist supporter?
Actually, Amazon has just redefined "collusion" as speaking out against Amazon. Didn't you get the memo yet?
So Amazon is in the clear because they dump for a long time. Because "that wouldn't make sense". Apart from driving all competition out of business because you have the deeper coffers.
The Prisoner, 1967, had a story arc.
So did The Fugitive.
