After I got assigned a different project requiring me to follow different shifts in supporting a critical business unit (the rational of my manager was that I was a very good programmer and it would be great for me to be part of this fire-fighting team, even though I protested to be shifted to a semi-support role), within 4 months I decided to quit - simply because the new project was not for me - I wanted to work on certain technology and I was not working on it.
Took about 3-4 months of break before looking for a new job, traveled around a bit, brushed up on certain skills and got one or two certifications on what I wanted to focus next. Then waited for right offer to come, instead of applying everywhere.
I could not be happier. Small company, relaxed casual working environment, your technical knowledge used everyday and appreciated everyday, and (after spending two years) got a deal to get three weeks of extra unpaid vacation (on top of regular paid vacation). I don't mind putting extra hours once in a while if required, and I am enjoying programming again.
I work so that I can enjoy my life NOW and every day, and not just during two weeks of Christmas or summer breaks. And work is not a chore anymore.
If you think that's proper response, then reply with that. I don't use Android either and I don't give a fuck about it. (And you see, you automatically assumed I would be offended with your Rubin remarks, which just proves how you view the whole thing - Apple v/s Google - while my point of view always is me against the walled gardens)
For me, the only way to point out flaming fanboism when fanbois go to any length to protect their gods while he is stealing somebody's liver is to say it so. I know, facts can be too much for you, but only way to deal with them is to accept them.
Similarly, on Android, to make a phone call, you press the phone icon. But on Apple, for a while, people had to move their hand and grip the phone in a particular way (for most, doing this while sucking Steve Jobs' dick did the trick, dunno about you).

When you can prove that wikileaks 'hacked' people. Publishing information from insiders is not same hacking. Try logic 101.
Yep - releasing userid/passwords is the same thing as hacking into dead childern's voicemails for scoops.
No. It does not make the point. In fact, it makes point against your point. What was your point again?
And what 'point' did you make in your post? *irony meter explodes*
The same guys Steve Jobs identified as terrorists?
Your argument sucks. How about not replying to comments you don't like? Oh, but you replied, instead of reading some comment you agreed to.
Throwing toys out of pram so early, Apple bitches?
>> .. as it may be a defense patent.
So??
Just because you invoke Godwin does not make the argument wrong.
Or may be because they are giant APPHOLES?
Of course. He is always in the engine which is always in the front and hence plenty of air for him. But what about the poor passengers in the back??
You said it.

Where did he mention Apple in there? If anybody seems to be insecure, it has to be you.
Which should have started after they finished with Apple, but that never happened, did that?
It does not count if apple does not support it.
lets start with xerox then. history is not in your master's favor.
Of course. That's why the constitution and laws of the country allow judges and juries to overlook them all.
Well, you know who started it, and you know whose ass is getting pounded.
I am loving this.
Oh I see. Google Is the Evil. Even if they let me take my data with me (unlike others), do not lock me in (unlike others), they are TEH EVIL.
It's the data, stupid. And they let you keep it. If you don't see what's the big deal about it, then probably you don't deserve to be here.

I know which one is better than the the other.
The same Mosseberg whom Steve Jobs called "our friends in media"?
This is why, on /., you read comments and not TFS/TFA. Thank you.
Just because implementation sucked does not mean idea sucked too.
>> It's a surprise because mac users are usually happy when someone else who's _their daddy_ decides what's best for them.
FTFY.
