Apple might be not, Google certainly is. Google is only what - 30% older than Facebook? (as opposed to 1000% when compared to likes of GE)
If you don't see where Facebook has provided innovation - well, sucks to be you. Innovation not always is outright algorithms, but also how you put them together and present to the world - which is where facebook won over myspace and is going strong.
On the other hand, I can kind of see why they go after individual users: publicly embarrassing people either due to their drug use or taste for child porn could be seen as a significant deterrent. But then that's really nothing to do with any kind of justice, it's just a cynical use of the system to make people behave a certain way.
The system exists ONLY to make people behave a certain way. If you have any other delusions please share, but let me make one thing for clear - you are not free. You are a person that system tries to behave in a certain way (not always sane, btw).
Including J2ME support would NOT have been an advantage. Probably a way to kill the platform on the spot. (nothing against J2ME itself, but its ecosystem at the time was extremely unhealthy)
Fair few possible causes, but ultimately because SMS is a classical store & forward system. There are zero guarantees about latency and simple things like your phone retransmit behaviour plays fairly big role too.
I've written few too many SMPP implementations & services in my days. Alas some of the more interesting uses for SMS's are going fast downhill now that standard non-compliant smartphones are running the asylum.
That applies to a man. If I'd have a semi-competent female candidate for a position she'll be out of the job market in a heartbeat. Best thing apart from having healthier balance in the office? Nobody from HR can touch me with a 10 feet pole until the next hiring round comes.
That's what is happening. Go and ask your HR department about the hiring filters they need to apply to meet ether government mandated standards or to maintain the 'goodwill' presence in the industry.
"NoSQL is widely taken to be a joke by professionals, who can easily achieve the same scalability using relational databases, without giving up their many useful and even necessary features." - I have a problem with this comment. Happy to agree that so far anything that's been publicly demonstrated indeed has been just an exercise in breaking ACID for no reason, but relational databases have their limits as well. So yes, NoSQL movement is a joke, but relational databases aren't necessarily the safe haven as they may seem.
For background: Just this afternoon company I work in lost around USD 500k (estimated) just because our relational database is working hard at the limits. We are one of the reference cases for the vendor.
Now this is bullshit. Socio-economic factors play a role, yes, but that doesn't change the fact that right now I'd prefer to meet a white rather than black in a dark alley.
And yes, I can very much believe that blacks commit more crimes because of a natural preponderance. As it stands there's a whole continent that, by any measure, is at least 200-300 years behind developed societies, and has shown no interest to develop ether.
he also forgot that the passengers were already vetted, in a sense - at least two agencies (one US and one UK IIRC) were trying to scream blue that something is not right.
And four latest iPads in my sight when coming into office on Monday. They used to be rare, but somehow I suspect that real physical sales work better than supply chain choke.
You couldn't be more wrong. The trick is that Apple has managed to do that elusive trick that everybody has been chasing (and mainframe manufacturers in the 80/90's were so much enjoying) and have built up an ecosystem. Working, lucrative ecosystem where money flows.
In the retail market, apart from Amazon, nobody else has managed to even get close. Apple focus these days isn't on products (although feck me - they still manage quite all right and iPad 3* is actually quite impressive), it's on maintaining healthy ecosystem. It's not quite as easy as just releasing a new iThing every few months. And they get all the volume discounts giving us better hardware for less money (once subsidies are taken into account).
*I'm not an apple fanboy. My primary phone is Samsung Galaxy SII, my Macbook Air 11" has Windows partition and I have an android tablet on my desk.
Given the fact that fair few of my friends with fairly interesting insights and connections are talking about impeding repeat of 2008, just on a larger scale, I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out that apple reinvests fair few bn into something tangible soon. New headquarters in 20 capital cities across the world, in example.
Uhm? Are you under any illusion that wall street ISN'T based on weird financial voodoo?
But seriously - yes, the people that work in WallSt are brilliant, no questions asked. Alas they are still just human. And yes, 99% of the market is smoke and mirrors. Weird financial confidence trickster voodoo.
Because DCMA is a joke, really. If you follow the law you WILL be found guilty regardless. The only way to be compliant with DCMA is to cut in the **AA in the deal as well (as youtube have done).

Used to be until India incident. It was hushed off so quickly that one can only really assume single possible outcome.
Agree with the notion though - as a key manager RIM's infrastructure is doing admirable job.
Frankly - poor children to have somebody like this ... creature ... even allowed near to them.
That is what constant 1G acceleration (and braking) means. The passengers would feel as if in normal gravity.
Wasn't this already done like 4 years ago? Okay, this time they managed to link up tetris, not just controlled animation (IIRC), but still...

By the current ongoing historic precedent - yes.
(well, okay, Japanese are pretty racist if you try to live in
So, what's the field?

You are drunk.
And since I am drunk and I'm noticing this - you probably are really drunk. Have some water, this should help with dehydration tomorrow.

That's a fairly big statement to make without any supporting evidence. Care to share?
