  6. Re:firewall vs. drywall on China Strangles Tor Ahead of National Day · · Score: 1

    I wrote a report on the Chinese drywall issue and free trade on my MBA class. The whole story include a German company and its manufacturing plant in China, one shipping company, one importer, several builders and house owners. If you forget those sensational news and dig into legal documents, you will find that the importer of the drywall in question failed to get customs documents for the dry wall in question. So those drywall were sitting on boats for as long as 6 months along Florida coast. This elongated exposure to high temperature, high humidity and corrosive environment was identified as cause of the "stinky drywall". And my conclusion was in a world of true "free trade", where no customs documents are required, this unfortunate incident won't have happened.

    I actually know one survived this problem with a heart transplant. You are really a lucky one in those unfortunate, most people with this problem died before doctors can diagnose this problem or even before seeing a doctor. I heard that there were only about 300 diagnosed cases (including those failed to get a heart transplant).

    Best wishes. I know how painful and stressful it can be, but you are really the lucky one already, just one more step and you can live a common life again.

    And actually their website is perfectly constructed. And very easy to use. They also provide a lot of information about how to design stuff. Superb customer service. Super low shipping charge. If you are lucky, they may also send you a copy of their catalog. You can also try MSC, or grainger. But if i can find things I need from McMaster-Carr, I won't try any others.

  20. Re:You Have To Be Joking on Apple Drops Part of iPhone Developer NDA · · Score: 1

    Apple is facing a mass exodus of phone developers with their constant blunders from secrecy and rejecting apps that threaten their own apps.

    Are there many developers at all? And exodus, where do they go? They program in ObjectiveC, if they don't do iPhone, they can only program for OS X and OpenStep. I thought those who programed on iPhone must have done some kind of programming on OS X.

    The cellphone industry is rapidly moving to Android as their standard platform with Motorola being the latest large cellphone company to embrace Google's open source OS with a ramp up of their internal Android team to 500 people.

    If Motorola doesn't move to Android, where can they go? Graveyard? And if Apple didn't do the NDA thing, will Motorola move to iPhone? No XXX way.

    LG and Sony are next in the queue for Android phone releases and there are huge numbers in the pipeline after them including devices that fall between cellphones and mini-laptops.

    They have been doing this for years, nothing for me to see here.

    To suggest that there is some sort of secret and valuable information in the iPhone SDK that anyone cares about is absolutely inane.

    Why?

    This is just the first step in Apple's fade into niche irrelevance in the cellphone market. Look for future attempts to fend off Android with dropping the fees to release iPhone apps, development on machines that don't require overpriced Macs just to do simple phone app development, and all the other silly shit Apple has going on with the iPhone.

    From a niche market to a niche market, I don't see any potential problem here for Apple. And why I can only program in java on Android, I like java, but why can't I access CPU directly? Yeah, I know the JIT thing, but it draws juice from my battery. And why the java on Android is not compatible with other's java? If it is not compatible, what's the point of java?
