Ahhh No. It has a much faster dual core CPU, a new radio that supports both GSM and CDMA and a new higher resolution camera, and a new antenna. The only things that didn't change is the screen which a lot of people still think is the best screen on the market, the sensors and frankly I do not know what else they could have added their, and the case. It is very close to a new phone but it is without a shadow of a doubt a much improved version of the 4.
I aleady posted but this just ticks me off too much for words. "And what crime is that exactly? Unlawful finding? It's not really theft." You are wrong. It is theft when he discovered the owner of the property that he found and then tried to sell it to another party. "Courts have rules too you know. They are very much like machines or computing devices in this regard. You can't just make sh*t up because you think it sounds good or it benefits your pet corporation."
You are so right in this statement and so hypocritical at the very same time. CAL. PEN. CODE 485 : California Code - Section 485 Which reads "One who finds lost property under circumstances which give him knowledge of or means of inquiry as to the true owner, and who appropriates such property to his own use, or to the use of another person not entitled thereto, without first making reasonable and just efforts to find the owner and to restore the property to him, is guilty of theft." That law applies to everyone. If someone finds your wallet with ID in it and they keep the money they are a thief. If they find your cell phone and do not make a reasonable effort to return it they are a thief. By the definition of this law they where thieves. So It is you that is making stuff up and do not seem to know the law all they while insulting someone that was correct. You may make your apologies or sulk in shame.
It has nothing to do with pet corporations. If you dropped your cell phone and someone picked it up and sold it they are a thief. Finders keepers losers weepers only works for the under 5 year old set. Your right courts do have rules what you seem to miss is that they are not the rules you learned in Kindergarden. You can not sell property that you do not own.
If you find a cell phone that doesn't belong to you in a bar and you turn it in to the bar owner, or you turn it into the police, or you turn it into a carrier store that the phone came from you are a finder. If you find cell phone that doesn't belong to you and you sell it you are a thief.
Yes as an add on it may be useful. As a core it is even useful in some businesses like Retail. But in tech an MBA that is just an MBA just doesn't make logical sense. Maybe Cook will be different but then he may lead Apple into a cycle of decline. For a company to be great and do great things I believe their must be a passion to do more than make the most amount of money. I am sure when Steve Jobs took over Apple that the logical thing might have looked like producing PCs running Windows and leverage Apples design and name to go after Dell and Gateway. That would have made Apple at best an also ran or at worst Apple would be in the same boat as Commodore. Dell is a prime example of an MBA style of company. They make a good product at a good price but their is no real passion. They seek good enough to make the most profit. Google, Microsoft back with Gates, and Apple are examples of pasion driven companies. And MBA should not be the head of a tech company. Someone that loves technology and knows it inside and out should be. if they happen to have an MBA all the better.
Maybe you did study them but the fact that you mention that it is a common problem shows me that is all too often the results. MBAs might even be okay as the leader of a some types of companies. But for many they should not be the leader which all too often they are.
True but that is a java which a lot of people already know b A good enough tool.
That is the key the pain of learning vs the gain of using. Dart my be good enough but until the VM is everywhere I do not think think the pain is worth the gain. But until I dig into it I am just guessing.
I never said that they shouldn't work at companies jus that they shouldn't be in charge of a lot of companies. Would you want an Aerospace Engineer in charge of a drug company? MBA's have their place but that place is rarely at the head of a company. CFO maybe but never a CEO. Even your examples of doing studies show the flaw. It will only tell you what people know they want. Sometimes they have no idea of what they could have. MBAs running the show will give you subtle refinements over time and often stagnation. It leads to GM making SUVs but putting little effort into good small cars. People wanted SUVs and they where more profitable.... Until gas went up and the economy went down. MBAs have their place but MBAs are not known for inovation and leadership. It is the difference between an expert and logistics and and expert at strategy. Both are useful but in war you better have a strategist in charge.
Yes I know. My wife has a tablet that can do that. But with Thunderbolt you will have only a single connection that supplies the video and can power the phone as well as give you a few USBs and a wired network.
In a way I see the mobile phone becoming the PC. You just put in a dock a work and it is your computer. You put it in dock in your car and it runs the nav and infotainment system of your car. You plug it into your home entrainment system and it becomes a game console and meda player. Of course your tablet will do the same things as well.
"And lose their ability to freely do what they want with a device they purchased. Not a great trade-off." That is just your opinon. The thing is that no one has to buy an iPhone. I didn't . Just like some people want to live in a Condo or an HOA community.
You see this is why I really hate dealing with the beligerant on Slashdot. They keep throwing up Strawman but they then throw up complete fiction as fact. "his is a strawman. You don't really think DOS would have been the dominating platform do you? There were plenty of other competitors other than Apple. OS/2 was pretty good for it's time. OS/2 lanuched without a GUI. I was their and worked on it. After the Mac launched is when you saw everybody and their dog try and come up with a window system. I know because I was writing software on DOS in 84. You had things like TopView and Vision. Windows 1.0 didn't even really have windows it had tiles.
and everyone stole the GUI idea from Xerox anyway (apple included). Apple actually traded stock to Xerox to have access to PARC research. Apple paid for that which is not stealing.
If you think if apple didn't exist we wouldn't have windows or any other modern OS, then you obviously haven't been paying attention to the industry at all in the last 20 years. Mac OS was crap. 20 years ago was 1991. Pre windows 95 so no Mac OS as far from crap compared with DOS+Windows. It only really started to lag around 1995 at least on the consumer desktop. Windows NT was a much better OS but not widely used. "They stole linux to replace their crap operating system." Wow you are clue less. OS/X has nothing to do with Linux and never has. It is based on BSD not Linux. And you so like the word stole for some odd reason... Since BSD is Open under the BSD, no "theft" has been happened.
"Apple also ditched their entire hardware platform and stole that from PCs too. Yeah, they really were driving the competition, weren't they. "" DAMM APPLE! AND DAMM LINUX AND DAMM BSD, AND DAMM SOLARIS, AND DAMM BeOS! Really so only one OS can run on the X86 and all others or stealing the platform. Again you use that word but I do not think you know what it means. Here is a hint for you the X86 predates windows and even MS-DOS. Other operating systems do run on it. Even then Apple went with EFI and not Bios so their platform was slightly different than your average PC.. Oh DAMM MICROSOFT FOR STEALING APPLES PLATFORM! They are going to make windows run on ARM!.... you're so cute.
I could go on and on point out error after error. You just want to argue and lack the knowledge to even understand why you are wrong. To put it simply millions of people know who Steve Jobs is. Tens of thousands of employees seem honestly sad over his death. Over a million iPhones4s have beens sold. No other tablet comes close to the number of iPads sold. iPads and iPhone users have one of the highest consumer satisfaction ratings for mobile devices and Apple gets the the highest rating for customer support in the industry. OS/2 , AmigaOS, BeOS failed, GEM, and any number of other OSs are memories as far as consumers go.
The Air Force could use a KC-10 to refuel the LC-130 in flight but a night time inflight refueling in the antarctic winter... Well lets just say that has a good risk factor. Aka an ever bigger dice-roll. If the woman's life was at risk am will to bet that the crew would roll those dice but it isn't life threatening right now and frankly this mission would be.
I have no idea where you where but that has never happened to me. Outside of a movie theater I doubt that anyone gets too worried about people taking pictures. Now if you where in the middle of the mall using a DSLR taking pictures of everyone then someone might ask questions but with a camera phone? I guess if you where taking pictures of all the women you may be asked to move along for being creepy. What the Mall in this case has to wonder about is was it worth it. Will this cause people to not want to go there.
Someone should write a paper or a book about the destruction of American business by the MBA. Really is it logical that a computer companies top person isn't an EE? Is it logical that a software companies top person isn't a programmer? Is it logical that a car companies top person isn't a automotive engineer?
At some point we have let the clerical staff take over the nation.
Apple started in 1977. In 1977 HP was making workstations and minicomputers not small single users systems. Packard Bell started to make computers in 1986 Dell 1984 Acer made a microcontroller training kit in 81 and then made Apple II clones. In the early 80s. Well after the Apple II was launched. So no, you are wrong. You really need to learn history or at least learn to use the Wikipedia. Apple is the only company from the early days of personal computes left making computers.
I am just not a big fan of C++ but I mostly used it on Windows so that may have tainted it for me. Java+Netbeans makes writing GUI software really easy for me. I also find Java's tread support very robust. It could just be that it fits my style.
Perl I do agree is good for programs under 100 lines long and that you will never touch again. However for plowing though a bunch of data it is a great tool. I really like ObjectiveC. It seems far less like a Hack to me than C++.
Actually I am not a big apple fanboy. I was a Commodore users back in the day and an Amiga users. I use Linux, Windows, and OS/X and actually like using them all. Well I like to run FSX on Windows and that is about it. The walled garden is only for the IOS devices. Apple includes their full development system with every Mac that is sold. Heck I own an EVO 3G and not an iPhone and i am probably going to upgrade to the Nexus Prime if it comes to my carrier. Do I wish that IOS allowed side loading? Actually yes I do but I can also see the value in to allowing. People can have some security in what they choose download and install without having to make a lot of effort. For my sister that can not Text without the help of her daughter the iPhone is ideal. I perfure Android on Sprint because it is the least restrictive. The thing is that if there wasn't the Mac would would be stuck still with DOS as a mainstream UI. If their had not been NeXT we might not have had the WWW. "The first browser was written on NeXT". If it wasn't IOS we would probably still be stuck with PalmOS, Windows Mobile, and Sybian all on restive touch screens using stylus. MP3 players I think would have still take off but would they have had the deals with record labels. I know some people have mixed feelings about that. Even in FOSS world Gnome and KDE borrow from Apples legacy of GUI design. Yes they got it from Xerox but Xerox would have let it sit and rot kind of like what they did with Smalltalk. No sir. Apple is not as open on it's mobile devices as I would like but then no one is as open as RMS would like. However Apple pushed the concept that a computer could be both powerful and easy to use. NeXT created great OOP tools that allowed programers to create complex GUI programs that ran on Unix which lead to the first graphical web browser. The iPhone took the idea of smart phones to the mainstream. Now we have people everywhere using twitter and their video cameras to share news as it is happening. Again it is all about access and choices. Apple has made smart mobile devices that anyone can use and set a price point most people can reach. Microsoft and Google are being pushed to match them and Android on most carriers is more open. In the end it is about the user and not the developer. Linux is as closed as any OS to the grandparents of the world. OS/X and IOS are open because they can use it with ease. There is a place for both as well as Windows and we call that choice. In the end it is not the time for criticism. That can come later. Now is the time to celebrate the good things he did which will give comfort to those that loved and even liked him. For example I think RMS is crackpot, attention hound, and an ideologue. If he passed away I would talk about how important GCC is to making programming accessible to everyone, how important the GPL was to FOSS, and his strength of conviction. At least for a good while what I see as his flaws can wait a proper amount time.
In a high school physics course yes. In a high school History class maybe not. I did say give him hard enough work to challenge him but let him have some childhood.
Except that the browser benchmarks will be written in JS. Very few people will be willing to take the performance hit that the cross compile might cause. If it is any slower they will keep living with JS for a good long time.

You mean finders keepers isn't the law of the land! I am so going to take my kindergarden teacher to court.
Actually you should turn it into the police. If no one claims it after x amount of time it is yours free and clear.
It has nothing to do with pet corporations. If you dropped your cell phone and someone picked it up and sold it they are a thief. Finders keepers losers weepers only works for the under 5 year old set.
