Agreed. Function AND design. MS gets points in both categories.
Apple only ever gets points in one of those categories.
The whole article is just Apple fanboi vomit. Or perhaps written by a UI princess that never graduated high school. Perhaps both.
You insensitive clod. I'm still behind on upgrading my phone! I didn't want the OTA update to disable root.
(Just another reason to finally upgrade! Thanks.)
The worst logic bomb I had to deal with was written similarly by an underpaid (debatable) programmer. He set it up so that when money was exchanged between accounts the program would then truncate the remainder. This, in fact, was only a fraction of a cent. Then he took that remainder (once it had accumulated a bit) and transfer it out into a bank account of his own. As it turns out, it was relatively easy to install.
We were so far behind for the Y2K updates, most people simply didn't notice. A couple days later the building burned down.
Agree and disagree.. The problem with the example you give is that most junior programmers will just as quickly do a LINQ query where something like a switch/case would have been perfectly adequate (and 1000x faster).
You can find inefficiencies in any language. But most inefficiencies are introduced by the programmer and NOT its compiler.
I agree with you wholly, but you seem too harsh on higher level languages. I believe you CAN be efficient as a programmer and also write efficient managed code. However I've also seen a developer write LINQ statements where a simple switch/case would work just fine (with a 100000x speed increase).
I've had jobs using C, C++, VB.NET, C#. I can tell you that in any language you can be inefficient, its just harder to write inefficient unmanaged code because you don't have as many tools available at your disposal. Often times efficient code in C# or VB means writing more lines (see my example above).
Man, I hate the iPhone.
I go to school and get beat up daily for having one. They call me bad names like -- Fanboy, and Steve Job's Brown and White Nose.
Last week they stole my complimentary iPhone 4 case and played "keep-away" -- touting "How you gonna make calls now antenna boy!"
Woe is me. But I can't help but buying anything shiny and made by Apple. *Sigh*
It would seem that the only honest conclusion is that, of the survey population, more iPhone users than Android users believe that the iPhone best meets their needs and will continue to meet their needs.
Most iPhone users have never used an Android.
Its a generally captive market. If you were to survey the population and ask if they enjoy breakfast to satisfy early morning hunger, you'd also likely get overwhelmingly positive results.
I've been making this argument for years, but for pornography.
The wrist exercise improves my typing speed and helps prevent repetitive stress injuries while playing WoW.
Which in turn enhances my leadership skills.
Hence, watching porn improve leadership skills.
I would have to disagree in that you should have enough separation of concerns to develop both independently. Some applications require sophisticated back ends and middle tiers (think ETL) to satisfy the development requirements. I agree that UI does often drive requirements from the business side and is often the only communication tool for business decisions. So yes, in most instances UI is more important, because it serves as a communications tool and requirements outline, but it doesn't always offer a complete blueprint like your post suggests.
Your response seems to confuse developer requirements and business requirements. The two are very different. The latter being much easier to convey.
That being said, get a UI designer and a back end developer. Most good UI designers typically know nothing of good database design and architecture (and vice versa).
Use J River Media Center. Its fabulous for bulk tagging, imports, tagging based on filename, bulk renames, views, and more! Also has a great API!
I do not work for the company. You will thank me later.

Its so cute how kids today think 'hacking' is obtaining access to an unprotected WAP.

What search/os are you using? My Droid Incredible does not do this.
I swear its not mine baby!

And to think. Shuckin' and jivin' used to be a way to avoid work.

Yeah, but the /. crowd is more like a big truck. It dumps on you for not being modded as funny.

Where do you work? 'Cause I find incompetence everywhere.

As demonstrated at the 2010 Mobile Droid Conference, the Droid X will brick itself faster than ANY other phone currently on the market.

DO you like apples? Well, I just got a $4,000 phone bill. Howdoyalike them apples?
