We know why he resigned (health). Competition will continue as normal, Apple will do its thing as a company. Business as usual.
The contributions, whether agreeable as successes or failures amounts to a wealth of experience that he has given to the tech community deserves recognition.
I think all we can say is "thanks Steve, good luck, and live well, you deserve it."
....thanks to its ability to pass messages very quickly
Hey, F/OSS folks, stop the chest beating. Linux is a great option (I use it a lot), and has its merit, but stuff like MQSeries and Tibco perform just as fast and even faster than anything Linux offers on UNIX, Solaris and even Windows Server (cause in the end it's about POSIX/OSI compliance in messaging systems).
Finance is about keeping costs low, and specially in server farms, where a replicated Gentoo environmnent == minimal costs. Wall Street tech only works if the costs don't increase when as scale. If it increases just a little, you're hosed.
Hence, Wall Street doesn't use linux cause "it passes message very quickly", but cause Linux is plain cheaper short term (and the TCO will really end up being the same as long as Linux IT admins continue to ask for top dollar salaries!).
Note Moto has collided with Sun back in the day as well, so this purchase will qwell both Apple's and Oracle's lawsuits.
Problem is this purchase could spell the end of the OMA: Google+Moto == MotoBlur2 == FORK HTC == Sense SDK == FORK Samsung == Touchwiz == FORK Oracle == Some up their sleeve == FORK All non smartphone vendors == FORK (Amazon Kindle v3?, Nook, radios, etc...)
All signs point to someone forking Android... It may as well be Google itself! Imagine Redhat, OSF, GNU, and IBM getting together, this is the new Google.
On the bright side, if Oracle wins, vanilla Android will likely be released as true F/OSS, much like under the model as OpenJDK. That could be a win for developers, but we are heading towards the many forks/distro as the Linux ecosystem--which is a double edged sword.
Become a systems engineer, software engineer, QA test lead, team lead, or architect. The kids can't do anything in those fields no matter what sr. mgt. thinks, experience runs those fields hands down and most senior programmers can easily transition into those roles.
Valid points on not to hire an older person, BUT, if you want to just be a programmer, you are just a programmer, and when that skill becomes a commodity. You're toast. Guess what? 8% of programming jobs out there need commodity skills nowadays, but the kids, either a. don't know how to put it together, ship it, nor debug it (it's all faith in the process to avoid those chores). Why? cause you need experience to do those well and efficiently. As for programming, there are good jobs still, but taken: not everyone can be a Linus running OS kernel development.
There is no simple recipe for success; well, unless you win the Lottery or have wealthy parents.....and your results will vary from the OP.
Now that's it's fairly inexpensive ($50) and abundant that you can get GPRS transceivers, and the wire protocol is widely known today.... it's not surprising that folks can hack into it.
I mean current technology R/C transceivers are more secure nowadays.
If we all realize that with all this tech (aka Apple products), people sit in a couch all day long, and move a mouse (or their fingers) around a 2D screen to: a. navigate through a 3D world/game b. communicate to people c. shop d. work on spreadsheets e. show presentations and watch TV/videos f. look at photos
That explains why Apple would be at the top, as we are nothing but couch potatoes. Hand over the Cheetos. . Now went we get out of the house and.... a. navigate through a real world b. talk to people face to face, shake hands c. shop while physically touching the products d. use cash e. watch a live play or ok, a movie in a theater... f. look at real art in person....
that's when oil will rise again. If Apple is more important, people stay in their homes and live a virtual life. If oil is more important, people leave their homes and live a real life. Funny how we all are supposed to "hate oil".
Honestly, every J2ME developer and hardware vendor was probably flabbergasted when the DalvikVM was announced. Considering it took 10yrs to get J2ME to a useful state.
We sort of know why Oracle bought Sun, and after this lawsuit is over, why Oracle sold Sun.
In other news, 65% of people are interested in not buying the iPhone5.
Really, Apple is #1 in the business currently, you're going to get the blogs, wall street analysts, fanboys and others rooting for Apple as loud as they can much like they just won the Superbowl. But note that there are other teams (i.e. products) out there.
If it's more complex and requires more technical skill or dedication to maintain it, it sure says for that effort: why not just go Linux, since it's pretty much the same posix compliant *nix system.
Yes, that's what dom0 was suppose to solve. BUT it's to the MB vendor. Intel Vt-d is supported on the CPU, Bios and now in S/W, but the chipsets selected by the MB vendors need to support it--99% of the times they don't.
classic sand-boxing is good, pretty efficient, but of course the user can leak information as he "surfs" on the CDROM, but at least old information is restricted.
We have terms like security by obscurity, which does work in situations, though not in many others.
NFC brings to the table security by proximity--the island method (you're technically secure if you're on a stranded island miles away from the next person... and they can't hear you).
Increase NFC's range (which application engineers will *want*) and BT4.0 will be the superior tech. NFC should be a replacement for RFID, not BT...
"for example, US particle physicists who will spend their careers trying to drive from the backseat as our European counterparts run the Large Hadron Collider"
Research is about long term goals and decisions.
The above is not an example, the SSC was supposed to be leading the way instead of the LHC, but that was killed nearly 20yrs ago. LHC was not planned as the top science facility, but became so as a result of short term thinking.
Since the 80's we've been thinking about short term goals, short term profits, short term efforts, and... short term research. Why? Cause look at the culture (ok, I have to say it: baby boomers).... it's all about short term egos wanting results now before they folks are "put out to pasture". From that, "collaboration" promotes fast information handling and demands quick results.
Unfortunately, the Internet promotes that same short fuse idea, which corporations, universities & gov'ts have literally dunked the head in the kool aid.
It seems like everyone I know on Google+ are young tech people.... whom know someone that works at Google. No celebrities, no popular non-techs, etc... Just tech folks.
And from that and the chatter of the invites and how the services are being used, it appears to me (unless Google puts + into general release ASAP) that Google+ is becoming an enhanced version of Slashdot.
I've had exposed PCBs fall into 20feet of water and still work after a good drying. From that picture in TFA, I say that phone is un-usable--like is he going to to continue to use that phone for the next year? Mind that the next week? I doubt it. OK, the phone boots up to the main screen, etc.. but why don't they show the front of the phone. I'm sure you can't read anything, nor touch from that shattered screen--doesn't work in my book.
I doubt if it will sync as well. He's probably one of the typical that forgot to sync/backup in the last week.
Screw that, I just start my car! I still use an old 1995 shiftmaster EEC piggyback chip that overrides my car's CPU (OBD-I, Intel 8061). Still works fine, programming is a pain (hex & ascii files), and the car just hit 463rwhp 2 months ago with more room to program the power curves.

Forgot about the IPTV part.
I mean telcos from AT&T to TW to VZW use moto set top boxes.
GoogleTV ready set tops from the DSL/FiOS/Cable business in those moto boxes spells a complete end of AppleTV.

Reading the about and blog sections, sure sounds like the '11 version of the Semantic Web.

Now.... have a good day!
Looks like a novel approach to adding a video camera into one of the available adaptive cruise control systems out there.
But just saying Iron Man sure brings in the page clicks. And as much karma on this post.
The XOS is more like the thing from Aliens.

Yeah! XEN dom0 support
Now only if my motherboard supported Vt-d this would be a game changer. A DX11 games in a Vbox game changer....
Hence NFC's "security" is range (i.e. tapping).
We have terms like security by obscurity, which does work in situations, though not in many others.

Increase NFC's range (which application engineers will *want*) and BT4.0 will be the superior tech. NFC should be a replacement for RFID, not BT...
Maybe not since their cars have gotten so much press lately.
But it could likely mean the end of their flying bots aspirations .

WTF on these iPhones commercials?

Sounds like the JWST is the modern version of the SSC (Superconducting Super Collider for the young'ins).
Or Amazon for streaming... or Apple... or Google... or Yahoo... or Comcast...
The streaming business is about to get crowded--and hopefully good for those that can afford the bandwidth.
Nostalgia?
Screw that, I just start my car! I still use an old 1995 shiftmaster EEC piggyback chip that overrides my car's CPU (OBD-I, Intel 8061). Still works fine, programming is a pain (hex & ascii files), and the car just hit 463rwhp 2 months ago with more room to program the power curves.
Put that nostalgia to good use I say.
I'm texting in real-time, oh wait, I have a phone....
I'm going to make a voice phone call. Much easier and faster.
