Exactly. If they want people to pay for the service start with something like a flat payment for up to 10 users, say 100$ and any additional user should pay 50$, or something like that.
Calling all iOS browsers different browsers is like calling all applications using the Internet Explorer engine different browsers. All iOS browsers are just a skin of the Apple embedded browser engine. If Apple does not enable WebGL for example on their browser, no other browser on iOS will have WebGL, simple as that, no ohter engine is allowed
Samba 4 is in beta right now, still has a lot of things to finish it, but Microsoft is only giving more reasons for people like you to wait with their current deployed solutions, and Samba 4 stability to catch up with the new AD protocols, at least for the Domain controllers portion of your needs
and we are talking about an SDK, and SDK is not a phone, this is a license over the SDK, not a phone, the SDK (at least the emulator and eclipse plugins are open source the last time I checked). I can use the SDK without a phone. Don't confuse proprietary applications and drivers on a phone and an emulator
I can build my own emulator and emulator image without any of the Google APIs binaries added on the ready to use SDK. So for me the Android SDK is open, the Google libraries added on top of the SDK aren't (it is an option, you can skip and not download them)
What I think this means: Amazon can create their own SDK, fork everything they want, the SDK is on Android source repositories, emulator, eclipse plugins, etc (I don't know if all of it), Developers can use Amazon SDK if they like, but developers can not use the Google SDK binary if they promote other non compatible forks. So if someone build an independent SDK from the sources, this is solved, until Google add rules like this to Google Play
sure? the last time I read you can do a "make sdk", I remember that I built and emulator, not sure if there are other parts not open source, Eclipse ADT tools are there in sdk/eclipse source directory
I think that applies to the binary SDK, if you go and download sources and build your own SDK you don't need to accept that license, so in my opinion Google is telling Android forkers, go and build your own SDK and don't promote our official SDK as the one for your platform. In other words, Amazon, Baidu and others, do your own work and stop using the binary Android SDK and for the Android developers, stop using the official SDK to distribute your applications on Android forks, go and use their SDK
And Windows developers never suffered of multiple hardware configurations, multiple Windows versions deployed, and more people make money developing for Windows than for Mac OS X. I am sorry if this sounds harsh to you, but I hate the modern developer generation, because they are lazy and want only one device ruling the world in order to do less. I am a developer too, but I prefer multiple times the multitude of hardware than monoculture. We as humans are amazing because each one of us is different but "compatible" and I want the same for my hardware
I only see Google buying them, or at least the ATI division, only if they want to do something like they did with WebM/VP8, push for open GPUs. can I dream right?
Chromebooks come with coreboot (formerly known as LinuxBIOS), it is not a traditional BIOS, nor UEFI. UEFI, at least on the machines I have tried it, is slow to boot !!!!!!. but your question still is valid. I don't know if the developer mode switch allows firmware modifications. I hope so
US patent system is broken because only big companies can afford that kind of litigation. Small companies only have the option to be bought by someone big enough before they are attacked by patent trolls or competitors that don't want a new actor in their area. But it is understandable that Big IBM want the current state because it is in favor of them, that doesn't means the system is right
Say another member of the "antitheist" religion. Religion, Atheism, Science are not against each other, people that believe that, aren't member of any of those groups, they are extremist, like you
and some doesn't have IDEs but are an IDE by itself: Smalltalk. Smalltalk has no concept of source code files but still its "IDE" is wrapped around the concept of code navigation. Is Smalltalk an awful language? no.
I don't call programmers that like dynamic typing so much lazy, but something I noticed in the developers I have known is that a lot of them are the group of developers that are contracted to build something, deploy, and jump to a new contract. How many Ruby programmers have you know than talk garbage about legacy code? a lot, simple, they don't like to maintain old code, It isn't easy with dynamic typing. I grown up as a developer using a dynamic language (Smalltalk), with our own application (own business), I love Smalltalk but we switched to Java long time ago (now using Scala too), and it is not because of the language by itself, it is because long term maintenance is easy for us with static typing
because some idiots think the language force a naming convention. in Java you can even use you native character set (for example Japanese) to name your classes (not that I recommend that) but dumb people like the grand parent still blame the language instead of the programmers that use names they don't like
Preparing PCs for sideloading apps on enterprise PCs
Currently, the Consumer Preview and Windows Server 8 Beta are classified as “enterprise sideloading enabled.” This means that when a PC is domain joined, it can be configured to accept non-Windows Store apps from their IT admin. Moving forward, this functionality to install non-Windows Store Metro style apps will be available for Windows 8 Enterprise Edition and Windows 8 Server editions.
On an enterprise sideloading enabled edition, the IT admins needs to verify:
The PC is domain joined.
The group policy is set to “Allow all trusted apps to install”.
The app is signed by a CA that is trusted on the target PCs
They could provide a new IFS driver for Windows and make users install it to access it, but I wonder if the reason they don't do that maybe is that to use a name as "SD Card" in your product the SD Card Association requires some compatibility tests, requiring VFAT. Adding an SD Card slot and not being able to use the term "SD Card" is not very compelling to the manufacturer. Maybe they can say, we support black rectangular external memory expansion used on many devices
Exactly, I think mobile gaming is eating the Wii like market, there is a reason the Wii U is coming back to the hardcore games instead of mom and grandma style of games. Nintendo people aren't dumb, they know the casuals, that never were part of the console games market until the arrival of the Wii, are not staying with consoles and are moving to phones and tablets
Source code access is never enough to guarantee that something is free backdoors? How adds it to the hardware? How can I verify the devices coming in (from China in this case) has the right binaries installed? and don't forget about hardware backdoors. It is like trusting a PC manufacturer with a preloaded Linux installation because I have the source code of it on a DVD to review. If you can't trust the manufacturer there is no source that can help
Raspberry Pi is the first ARM-based multimedia SoC with fully-functional, vendor-provided (as opposed to partial, reverse engineered) fully open-source drivers, and that Broadcom is the first vendor to open their mobile GPU drivers up in this way
By ARM code they mean code compiled for the ARM CPU, the GPU drivers are compiled for the ARM CPU. GPU firmware is another thing

Exactly. If they want people to pay for the service start with something like a flat payment for up to 10 users, say 100$ and any additional user should pay 50$, or something like that.
The administrator can disable the ads on the paid version of the service

This will fix by itself, no food for humans, humans will resort to cannibalism. Sometimes I think we deserve to disappear from this planet

forgot to add, and enterprises with an special key given by Microsoft, again, enterprises like to buy games a lot
Only enterprise edition joined to a domain, o yea, people play games on company machines, educate yourself before making comments

Something to support is better than nothing to support (the direction where Windows is headed is of a fully locked down store)
