Yes, I think Tizen will ultimately flop for a variety of reasons, not the least of which being the fact that Samsung will need to support THREE different operating systems.
But in the end, competition is always good for consumers. Bring it on!!
Yes, but do you know every objectively perfect move? Not even Gerry Kasparov or Magnus Carlson do, so chess is still a fun game no matter how good or how bad you play.
Your argument would be correct for a game like tic tac toe.
You got 15 years experiene writing C code, good luck finding a "whiz kid" who can do it better than someone who's been doing it for that long.
You said it yourself, C isn't going away anytime soon. Stick to it as your bread and butter.
If you want to learn to program for Android/iOS, that's great, but do it as a hobby. Employers nowadays want 10 years experience on a tech that's only been available for 5 years (yes, it's that crazy), so by the time you get up to speed, the market will have already moved on to the next shiny thing.
You started with "It's 2014..." What will you do in 2025? Like I said, when it comes to your bread and butter, stick to what you know best.
Unless you decide to undergo a sex change procedure and want to be as authentic a woman as possible, I don't think real women have a problem dealing with tampons.

Where I used to work, this is grounds for immediate termination. I'm sure there's a reason you can't take those files home in a portable/flash drive (trade secrets, etc) and you want us to help you cirumvent that restriction?
This is nothing but a PR stunt by these firms to save face, since they all happily collaborated with NSA's dirty practices in exchange of dough and political favors.
Fun fact: some Porsches are, as you describe, "technically 4 seaters" just to be rated as such by insurance companies, and thus, the owners pay a lower premium.

What has /. turned into? Discovery Kids?
Gives a whole new meaning to the classic phrase "it's not what you know; it's who you know."

This is pretty much how it used to be in the late 90s and early 00s, except for the online publishing part.
But then game companies realized that gamers wouldn't buy a new game if they could still play new free mods in the old one.
This is great news for amateur players who can't afford to hire a personal coach.
Typical Microsoft ass-backwards thinking. I guess the Win 8 team helped develop the Xbox.
That's the excuse MPAA will use now.
Offers good value for the time and money you spend there.

This tip is for someone asking on /. ? Seriously?
What are you talking about again?
What, we're hiring scientists with severe ADHD now???

/. :-)
Or so I read in a book. Hey, this is
Right, the Ouya proves his point.
NOT!!!!!

This is about FORD using aluminum, not automobiles in general.
OK, it's Friday and I got karma to burn.
Is buying games this way any cheaper than retail?
If not, where's the incentive to help this charity?
Sorry if capitalism is out of style these days, but that's what keeps the world going and the bills paid.
One day everyone's complaining notebook screens aren't keeping up with hi res of modern tablets and smartphones.
Now you're bitching that 4K is too much for an utrabook.
Which is it, damnit?????
First it was video games that improved hand-eye coordination. Now, web surfing improves motor skills.
I think I see the pattern, and I can even automate my next submission headline:
$FAVORITE_USELESS_HOBBY improves $ZOMFG_GREAT_USEFUL_SKILL
Well, it's not like Consumer Reports can just go out and buy one of these self driving cars to test them out yet.
This is all very early research and we have to take their word for it for the time being.
Once they become commercially available, I definitely expect to see vastly different real-world performance of theses systems.
This is nothing but a PR stunt by these firms to save face, since they all happily collaborated with NSA's dirty practices in exchange of dough and political favors.
I say fuck 'em all!!
SSDs are all the rage now!!!!!! Who uses harddrives anymore???
To develop the apps that run on smartphones, tablets, smart watches, HMDs, etc.
Desktop gaming beats mobile gaming and console gaming every day of the week.
Oh yeah, and what tabet are you going to use to download those 10 seasons in 1080p of your favorite TV series.
Yes, those use cases are incredily niche uses by today's standards, but they'll keep desktops alive for the foreseeable future.
