A replay of 20-25 years ago. I remember in 1990 - 1991 you had the "friendly" Mac vs. the "command line" hell of the PC. However, it never seemed that there was an easily accessible tool to develop software on the Mac, and it seemed for every Mac used in the computing / business world, there were 4 PC's.
Jump 20 years into the future, and you have the Andriod vs. the iOS. The biggest turnoff of iOS devices is the fact that as a developer, you have to pay Apple $100 a year to work on their platform, and "register" with them. What if I just wanted to recreationally write my own code? For me, the choice is clear. IMHO I think Apple, with its "closed architecture", will lose out to Android (and/or other) platforms. Even with Microsoft's mobile platform, I don't see this level of heavy handed control.

Apparently he still thinks that a police officer can have a private converstion with another person in the middle of the street. Just makes no sense, WTF?
Agreed. I was thinking about getting the iphone when my contract with VZN expired, but since they are AT&T wireless, I probably won't switch.
I would really like to see AT&T's reasoning for its reversal of the telecommute option. If it makes sense (i.e., security, re-evaluation, etc.), then I would cut them a break. If it is just an arbitrary decision, then I think a boycott is in order.

...and I don't read the paper nor the website (much). Don't think it will affect me (much)

Thank you - from those in the US who are annoyed with bogus takedown notices

Northern Virginia has some of the worst traffic in this country. He is wasting my tax dollars with this witch hunt. Good bye.
