A nice analogy with the Apple walled garden as well. It drove the initial popularity of both smartphones and the walled garden approch where everything installed must be approved. Evolution with what I think will be disastrous effects on open computing.
It is, yet if people keep throwing money at manufacturers that are pushing everything towards walled gardens (with Apple being by far the worst), it's never going to happen. I've almost resigned myself to seeing the end of open computing in the next 10 years.
The problem with open protocols (from many corporations point of view) is that they open you up to competition. Conpanies like Microsoft and Apple don't want competition.
I think that was changing the acceptable meaning of "literally" to include that which is not. I have enough of a problem with _accepting_ ignorance much less _encouraging_ it.
Apple's engineering varies between fairly good and awesome
True, but their control fetish varies between fanatical and fascist. While they have the advantage of being the sole hardware provider their products need to work with, they cripple their devices so much it greatly reduces the flexibility.
Likewise. I'm still waiting for my Pebble, which is getting less and less thrilling looking with some of the new devices coming out. Oh well, they seemed to stir up some excitement in these devices anyway.
While ZDNet is not the greatest off sources, the one you referenced is fat leads reliable. I'd be interested in seeing commentary from a better source than both.
True, but when it comes right down to it, you can just tag the set with a unique tag that is effectively the full path. To be truly equivalent you also need to tag them with each parent path as well unless you can search by partial tag names.
This is a university. Odds are they love Apple, even though the comparable Android devices are half the price and have faster processors and better screens at half the price. As I've said before, going with a solution where you have exactly one hardware provider and one software provider is a bad choice.
That's a good idea. I think I'll do the same thing with an NFC tag and Tasker. You could also just use any old expired card with an NFC chip in it in your pocket. When I finally get my Pebble watch, I'm planning on having the lock disabled when they're connected to each other.
Iris scan technology is good enough to identify people at quite a long distance these days as well. Even a garment with only the eyes exposed won't help.

Certain elements of the US government and media have been spreading that for 13 years now. It's still not true.
The other 80% was Apple.
Congress has quite clearly failed.
Too late. I think things are already on the downward slope.
That would be more appropriate for an N900, which I'm sad to say I'd like myself.
Please stop spreading the "Google doesn't respect privacy" FUD. Have a look at how well Apple respects your privacy.
You don't seem to be familiar with the traditional Apple taunts.

This exploit was released because even though Apple were made aware of it quite some time ago, they didn't patch it.

This is like Homer discovering he only needs to press "Y" and tripling his productivity.
Something actually works in Explorer? That must be the "news" part of the article.

You can still pick a single device, you just have more to choose from. It's an advantage when negotiating price if nothing else.

You should tell her that it's because you have a conscience.
Make too much sense? Tech seems to be one of the few places has at least a tendency to pay people what they're worth.
Thanks, nicely done!
