Your error is blindingly obvious. You failed to delegate. When you an IT manager, you hire a communicator, to do your communicating ie to hold the hand of the other executives. Make sure that communicator is not to skilled lest they replace you.
Think of them as a bridge between technical jargon and compact communications and long winded communications for communications sake.
They keep talking and listening because that is what they are paid to do and they basically bring you back the abridged form of what needs to happen.
Not really true. If the code is not released it belongs to you and only you. To claim the company owns code that you produce in your own time is false. certainly the company can claim first right to buy but it can not claim outright ownership that would be equivalent to demanding that you code in your own time, at home on your equipment for the companies benefit for free ie. you produce an application in your own time, the company wants it for free, you tell them to bugger off and destroy the code, they can not sue you for that code or the application.
So your unreleased code is your own, you can demonstrate the app and offer it too them, if they don't want to buy it that that is pretty much that, they can't claim it and you would have trouble distributing it, unless of course you went the third party route. Partner with someone outside the company to distribute the code on your behalf as a partnership, they would be in affect the publisher and you the silent coder.
Excluding time travel M$ can not deliver what Apple delivered, the right product at the right time, they had a gap in the market for that type of product and they were able to exploit the popularity of their music player to promote their phone.
M$ simply tried to copy this and the 'zune'heads came up lame, the marketdroids were too busy ingratiating themselves to Ballmer to properly critique directions taken and product deficiencies.
Since then Android has grabbed the spot light and forced M$ even further back into the shadows, with splintered branding M$, MSN, Windows, Windowsphone(lame), XBox, Live, Bing (WTF does bing have to do with any of the others), crippling their efforts, they should have run with MSN across the board.
Android is now looking to spread into many varied devices, manufacturers have some control and can to an extent extend branding. Hardware not software is driving final choice, which is of course what manufacturers prefer, provided the customers chooses Android.
More accurate to say that PR guy is a clinical narcissist, B$ is his life. So Ocean Marketing has 125 full time dedicated forum trolls, social media scum sucking pigs, search engine trolls and bloody spammers. These guys really do suck.
This does kind of have the smell of a big secret about to brake and rather admit to lying for years and years, they just say, ohh, look what we found, surprise, surprise. Apparently some countries heading into space aren't into this whole let's keep it a secret deal, it might affect the whole power base.
What is really hotting up the mobile phone market is their ability to be very good remote controls for pretty much every thing in the house, which makes them entry level for the digital home, from unlocking doors, open the garage door, adjusting air conditioning, controlling the TV etc. etc.. Companies with a full range of electronic and electrical products are going to start pushing real hard.
Apple behaviour is pretty disgusting and, I'd join the embargo 'BUT' damn I've always found their gear to be overhyped and overpriced and basically always gone else where. I'll think you'll find that this is pretty much the trend with the majority of computer geeks.
For what it's worth I vow never to buy an Apple product;D.
Congratulations, you have failed to grasp, the blindingly obvious. Some people are just so painfully locked into terminology the fail to grasp the true principles behind the application of that terminology http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anally_retentive.
What is really going on is the internationalisation of the language due to it being the most convenient global communication medium and the internet is spreading it and of course making the language a victim of it. Soon there will be a recognised Chinese English, Russian English etc. etc. (likely never a French English weird relationship between those two). So more spelling errors or just more American exceptionalism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_exceptionalism.
Ohh, oh so wrong Holocaust "1200â"50; Middle English http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/holocaust. It would seem that, yes, the Israel government has abused the history of the abuses of the German Nazi party for their own political advantage in their pretty nasty land grab of Palestinian properties.
Then of course humanity has a history of psychophathicaly driven obscenities, salting the earthhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salting_the_earth, slavery http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavery, genocide there's a whole list of them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genocides and who can forget nuclear weapons http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_weapon (a device designed to irradiate, burn, and then blow to bits everyone in the target zone from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent and oh so many scum sucking politicians praise their value).
Let's not forget people are not machines, more goes into keeping better people (not greedier people who are often far worse workers but far better at company politics). The environment in which they live and work also has a major impact on where they will go.
Cost of accommodation, quality of accommodation, recreation choices, how family friendly is the location, proximity of good accommodation to place of employment, climate and, regional environment. Then you have job security, how long will the job really last, how reliable is that salary going to be. The reputation of the employer also is important, are they good to work for, how do they treat their employees and, can they be trusted.
There seems to be a real disturbing right wing trend of tacking humanity out of employment consideration, down to purely dollars and nothing else ie. bugger you and your family we only care about productivity, maximum output for dollars, people are a dead weight and we would get rid of them all if we could, staff and customers.
Reality is want better employees rethink staff management and build a better more human reputation and likely relocate your business as much as possible not for tax advantages but for greater employee liveability and in the digital age that means thinking internationally not just nationally for location and for employees.
Bill Gates is currently having an extended holiday in Sydney Australia, is he getting a jump on the rest by scouting expansion locations to bring employees to from all over the world. Which is better to attract employees over the 'long term' salary or lifestyle (especially as lifestyle is not something the company has to pay for, excluding of course property values).
Would that be the left that reflects reality rather than the right that serves what ever greed wants to believe.
There is no such thing as a corporate for profit mass media organisation, simply does not exist outside of the lies and delusions of the right. All for profit mass media corporations exist to sell add space and that space is sold to other for profit corporations to push the products and ideology. That ideology of profit above all else shapes that relationship. Truth in this case is for sale, with only ever just barely enough truth sold to keep the public accepting those lies that generate profits.
The Fox not-News network with it's three stooges like Fox and Friends news as example is just a gross perversion of selling news as advertising with no very little limits on the lies told. Lately they have started to collapse due to things like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/murdoch-block/ (don't be an enabler install it today) and are having to resort to the truth more often than they would like too.
When it comes to 'mobocracy' you as always should chill for a bit until more information comes out, in the end thanks to the internet the truth most always eventually comes out (thats what's really killing Fox not-News).
As for Nike Air Jordan Concords a mass mock and shame campaign for the pathetic victims of marketing that buy and own them, seriously WTF.
Cheating ultimately destroys all games. Games are required to be played by rules otherwise there is not means by which to share the game with others in any meaningful way. Once you start cheating, there is no limit to the extent of cheating and thus no means of sharing context as cheating always shifts the rules upon every exchange.
Often cheaters cheat do so for no other reason than they are bored (likely psychopaths and narcissists even they computer game) and simply wish to spoil the game for every else, purposefully, they ego satisfaction (power and control) from destroying every else's pleasure.
Spoiled brats do much the same, children buying hacks wishing to demonstrate the false superiority of basically the 1%, we all know who they are by now.
Of course there is cheating for profit but that is a whole different issue and limited to games where you can profit in real terms.
That's a foolish notion. All national currencies eventually are bound to the capital value of a country, it's land and resources. The currency drops in value when more is printed than the country is worth plus of course the manipulation of scum sucking pig currency speculators.
So you real value enemies are the nature of you reserve bank that defines how much of your currency is out there relative to the capital value of the country and of course shit eating currency speculators (the banks et al).
Stable currencies are bound to strict regulatory control of all currency transactions ie. strict limitation to what financial institutions can or can't do, putting the brakes on the speed of transaction (should be 24 hours minimum between buy and sell, strictly enforced and 72 hours for international transactions).
It is high time to gut the B$ money shuffling cream of percentages like a tax manipulations of financial institutions of any kind, especially the multi-nationals and most of the criminals behind it all should spend the rest of their lives in prison and have all their assets confiscated.
Flip side of this, which you ignore is willingness to accept returns and provide a full or partial refund. Obviously to provide a full refund, that item that was returned has to go somewhere, can't bin it and, can't sell it as second hand and loose money.
People get really annoyed when companies won't accept returns and provide refunds, people get really annoyed when they end up buying someone elses return, hmm, I believe it's what's called a 'catch 22' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catch-22_(logic).
It is just another mind boggling stupid patent. They are not patenting their own fuel cell, just the idea of sticking one notebook and dressing it up with some B$ window dressing for the layout.
Imagine how the companies that actually design and manufacture fuel cells are going to be able to sell their products, when a whole range of utterly dickwad companies have patented inserting them in various devices.
You are both right and oh so terribly wrong. The days of edit config files are ever so safely still in place with Linux and will remain so for ever. For the noobs 'er' inexperienced users GUIs interfaces are available but for the experienced user the editable config file remains.
The reason why this is prefferable, because you can shut down the service edit it's individual config file and start the service up again, without rebooting the whole system, this is a must for servers. Of course for desktops, smartbooks, tablets and phones, this is not necessary for the majority of users but it remains there as a design principle and avoids that ever so disgusting system registry.
It is really a much more complex issue with no simple answers. Is the employee a family person that has children to look after, how far from the place of work do they live, how often a after hours demands made, how complex and difficult are the problems to deal with, how well staffed is the company and, do the employees like the odd intoxicant.
On the company side, is the company running short handed to squeeze up profits, is another shift required that the company refuses to pay for, is the after hours work requested or demanded, do they share the after hours work or is it dumped upon a small pool of employees and are you expected to work a full day the next day, when plenty of staff are available after only having minimal sleep.
So it depends upon who you are and the actual employment situation. For larger corporations with many departments under many managers, sometimes enforcing a safer easier least harm approach, is far easier than attempt to solve all the myriad interactions and inevitably coming up with solutions that end up being biased and lopsided.
The most blatantly obvious thing wrong with this, 'FALSE FLAG'. The utterly false escalation of internet cracking to bring in news laws to monitor everyone all of the time.
Hell, they will make having an internet connection compulsory, as well as a web cam and microphone.
This thinks far more about the 1% attempting an all out assault on the freedoms of the 99%. To silence and control them, to limit their speech, to attack their freedoms via what was the people's internet.
The most obvious distortion of reality, if the use of computer network cracking is to be based upon the same laws for the use of more destructive means of warfare including nuclear weapons, then just cut the fucking cable from the offending country, fucking hell, problem solved. What the fuck is so hard about that and they already have that law is place.
Motorola's lawyers failed, there blunder was in how the defined what the patent really meant.
The real story here is that M$ was able to file a bullshit patent that basically patented calling a database base table a calender and a record an event, and using standard database query tools, when that database is accessed by a mobile device.
Basically what the US patents office has done here is set a precedent that every database schema imaginable can be patented, based upon table names, field and record names.
So well done the US patent office you have now made DBMS impossible to use lest you infringe someone elses table, field and record names and similary queries.
Apple of course have become the masters of patent first, searching existing product features, checking to see if they are patented, if they are not patented, they immediately patent them.
Apple seems destined to become the number mega patent troll as their range of fad products die off. They are getting uglier and uglier as each day passes.
Of course there are many more articles covering the exact same thing, the direct correlation between social welfare and reduced crime rates. The only unfortunate thing is that there is lag between increasing social welfare spending and reducing crime, the damage has been done and it takes time to re-integrate the disaffected all because of greedy screaming right wing asshats.
Don't worry the likelihood of Ron Paul gaining the Republican nomination are pretty much zip, zero, null. As he is on the right and opposed to the military industrial complex the closer he comes to winning the primary the less likely are his chances of surviving the race.
If you don't like what the representatives are doing the best place to tackle them is at the primaries. An much smaller percentage of the eligible population vote at the primaries compared to the regular election. So that is the best time to get rid of them.
Lets be honest here, bullshit and reality, learn the difference. How many other countries have a more complete social welfare net than the US and a corresponding lower crime rate, let's stick with the English Speaking ones, hmm, Australia and the UK.
That's fine you wrap yourself up in the greed driven B$, the high crime rate, housing estates as prisons people are scared to leave, the highest prison population in the world, law enforcement agencies that lie about crime statistics to make themselves look better, basically exploit your country to oblivion. You know all you have to do is compare the US to what it was thirty years ago to what it has become, and greed has been the root cause of the degradation.
Correlate this, that list of the best cities in the world to lice, guess how the extent of their social welfare net 'correlates' to their rating, now how far down that list were US cities and what kind of social welfare net do those countries have whose cities are at the bottom of the list.
Considering where you come from, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Boycott will likely have very little affect, of course product recommendations and mocking victims of marketing will have a very significant affect.

For example ruby http://code.google.com/p/android-ruby/ or even http://www.robmiles.com/journal/2011/1/7/running-ruby-on-windows-phone.html. It seems there is a bit of interest http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ruby/index.html?ca=drs-.

Assuming of course they are referring to English, then this is likely the problem https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/language-tools/ 6 different English dictionaries listed there, with of course different spelling 'colouring' the use of language and that's only the technically skilled of the most popular versions of English, there are more http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language.
