How many Obj-C apps have been rewritten in Swift? I can see new apps and old apps that needed major rework, but most companies aren't going to invest the time it takes to port from Obj-C to Swift with little or no gain in market share.
why bother going through the effort, even with assistance, of porting mobile apps from the two dominant platforms
Because Windows 10 goes beyond mobile. It is phone, tablet, phablet, IoT, laptop, desktop, table, Xbox One, Microsoft Band.
And, if users bite, they get a free upgrade from both Windows 7 and 8. Microsoft's goal as stated in the keynote is to have 1 Billion Windows 10 devices in the next couple of years. If they even come close to half that goal, there will be little question of running iOS or Android code through Microsoft's rebuild and deployment process. If they reach their goal, Windows 10 will probably become the first development platform, leaving iOS and Android as afterthoughts.
Windows 10 universal applications will be able to run on all devices, including phones, tablets, desktop, table, Microsoft Band, IoT, Xbox One, etc. If you create a W10 universal app then it will run everywhere. Even the same exact binary will run across all these devices (although, of course, you'll need to make your UI responsive enough to make sense in these environments and with different input mechanisms).
Legacy desktop applications will pretty much be limited to desktops and tablets under Windows 10.
This should be much less confusing than RT was. RT had different capabilities across the same form factor, while Windows 10 will have the same capabilities for the same form factor.
Really you are just rooting for better choice. The fact that it is Verizon who would happen to gain from your happiness this time should not deter your hatred of them.
But that's because advertisements are intrusive and may allow external companies to track you.
Channels are different, since the only way you ever see a channel is to change to it. (And many set-top boxes let you block or otherwise unlist any channel you want, if bothers you that you even see it in the guide.)
But how is this different from any other cable company? If I'm not under contract, I was under the impression that I could change my service level any time I wanted.
I thought the problem was the to get channels X, Y, and Z, I had to also agree to pay for channels A, B, and C. Not that I couldn't drop all of those as a whole whenever I wanted.
Your statement about not being able to separate social and legal deterrents makes no sense. You appear to be of the belief that the enforcement of law does not deter crime. This goes against well established legal theory, as well as pretty much all common sense. So please feel free to explain your position and how the vast majority of people are wrong. Or if you cannot, feel free to STFU.
I suppose the upshot is that the OS X app store doesn't behave like some of the other app stores.
The iOS and Windows app stores do not allow you to publish an application that can execute external code. The APIs are restricted and their use may be discovered during the approval process.
OS X app store submission process doesn't appear to have the same restrictions.
From my logic class I learned the first thing you said is called the inverse, but the inverse is not equal to the original statement. The equivalent is the contrapositive. We form the contrapositive by negating the first and last part and swapping them. So you get something like "it could think of a reason".
What the hell? Not only is this volcano some super-super volcano that can destroy the world, but it can think of a reason to do so?
Well that's it. Drones forming Skynet is one thing, but a friggin' volcano with a temper is entirely different...
While this might be good for passengers to know more than the safety card
More generally, it leads us to investigate whether VR is consistently better than any type of literary teaching materials. If true, VR may be promising for situations where real-life training exercises are difficult or cost-prohibitive to implement.
I didn't say anything of the sort. I said that all traffic stops are already considered arrests in some states. If you get pulled over for speeding, or broken tail light, or whatever, you are legally under arrest until the officer releases you on your own recognizance.
I'm curious how this affects states that consider a traffic stop to be the equivalent of an arrest. Typically you are required to sign a document (typically the ticket) stating that you are being released on your own recognizance and must appear in court when summoned. If you refuse to sign, or sometimes at the officer's discretion, the arrest continues and you may be taken to jail immediately.
What if the officer just decides to continue your arrest until the dogs are done?
Even if particular colors activate signals in our internal clocks, it's possible that color-blind people adapt to it. It's also possible that color-blindness generally does not target the colors that play an active role.

Not entirely. The UX has been converging across the platforms, at least, much more today than 2 or 3 years ago.

In Soviet Russia (taking into account Mach's Principle) uncontrolled spaceship rotates you!
What part of gstoddart's post didn't you understand? I don't see any mention of iOS or the app store in that post.
A bit overly defensive, eh?
I think the question is, what does it blend? You know, when you make some blender blades out of this stuff.
Then perhaps you need to learn what the word "any" means. You were definitely using it wrong.

No joke, even Safari is better.

Just because you put words together, it doesn't mean the resulting sentence is true.
In the states where it is legal, did usage increase? Of course it did... because there is no longer a legal deterrent.
You said:
it hasn't stopped any of it
Your anecdote is not enough to prove your position, and no number of examples will do so.
I haven't smoked pot. Not that I was never curious... rather, doing so may get me arrested, thrown in jail, or fined.
My anecdote is enough to entirely disprove your statement.
There are plenty of laws against smoking Pot, it hasn't stopped any of it

Does that mean the company using the POS would be held liable in the case of a direct breach of their system?

Isn't it the case that all of Starfleet's enemies tend to look weaker and weaker as each series progresses? Not just the Borg.
