Apple used their market force to prevent carriers from screwing with the user experience by installing their own crappy themes and widgets and useless bloatware that would replace the standard iOS apps.
Samsung and other Android vendors, along with Google, let the carriers force their crappy "special experience" themes down users throats, and zillions of people couldn't upgrade to Froyo because $CRAPPY_BACKWATER_CARRIER didn't want Froyo on their network until their in-house programmers could make the buttons pink with purple polkadots.
Apple is not morally bankrupt. Whether you agree with their idea of morality is another matter.
Try Sesame Street Games. They're mostly flash games, but they should work. My kid started playing them when he was 2, liked them a lot, and learned to use a mouse from playing them.
Masking tape for holding a socket onto the board for the first few soldered holes and electrical tape when you need some impromptu low grade insulator.
That appending "in bed" to the end of every sentence in that article will no longer be a joke. I would have also thought that the term "desktop computer" would have the same quaint ring to it as "microcomputer" does now.
I noticed there was a minor defect in the printing of the Great Seal of the United States. I would be more than happy do a free-of-charge quality assurance review of your remaining $2 tablets and dispose of any defective tablets in an environmentally responsible fashion.
The more important issue is that we're trying to "combat STEM crisis" when both men and women have more financial incentive to manage a GAP than manage a laboratory.
He was the one doctor who dampened the unity with subtle but consistent complaining about why the group couldn’t do some things and shouldn’t do others.
"Direct pressure to conform placed on any member who questions the group, couched in terms of 'disloyalty'" is a symptom of Groupthink
I left a secure and extremely low-paying development/dba where I was the only programmer and got to call all the development shots to work in a dev team for a company that paid me 60% more than I was making at a previous company. In the year and a half I worked there, almost all the company's original founders were purged, we went through three directors of software engineering, two directors of qa, and two head product managers. The UX guy was ran off by a VP who wanted to do the usability themselves. And I had to serve under junior programmers who were only senior in the sense that they had been with the company for years, and every boneheaded thing they wanted to do was rubber-stamped by management. Project management for the desperately needed rewrite of the company's code was given to someone who had never done project management before. At some point development of that core product was transferred to an Indian offshore company to be worked on by programmers not familiar with the project's programming language; of course this didn't matter, because I wasn't doing very well at this company because I wasn't invited meetings where important architectural details were being discussed (which I was nevertheless responsible for implementing even though no one told me about them). The company was owned by a private equity firm, whose goal all along was probably reducing headcount and maximizing short term profit at the cost of large employee turnover and bad code. So looking back at my situation, I'm really not surprised at all that it happened.
Was this experience worth the 60% pay increase? I supposed I learned how to not run a software company, which might be valuable in the future. But my advice is to look for warning signs that might indicate that the new company might be extremely dysfunctional. Warning signs like the company being owned by a private equity firm, or all the founders of the business who made it great being purged, or lots of turnover among senior engineers and a dev mix made up of recent college grads and mediocre lifers who coast on their seniority. And try to figure out if possible why the previous guy left.

The best motivation is creating your own solution to something you find a real PITA. Hasn't really changed from when you were a young programmer.
