  3. Scope Creep on Skyhook Wireless Sues Google Over Anti-Competitive Practices · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "effectively gives Google the ability to arbitrarily deem any software, feature or function 'non-compatible.'".

    How is this different from what other companies do in their 'App Approval' process? It seems to me that this lawsuit may cross into other areas if Google is found guilty.

    Scope Creep applies in more areas than software development!

  8. Re:Does it explain the sucky battery life? on Sleeping iPhones Send Phantom Data · · Score: 5, Informative

    We have about 150 iPhones for corporate use and we have had to return 8 so far because of bad battery life. We have had more reports of deteriorating battery life from approx. 25 more users that doing a full restore to the phone and NOT applying the backup, just rebuilding the phone manually, has resolved their battery life back to original capacity.

    The key is not to restore the backup created immediately before the restore in iTunes. Even though all of the push and antenna settings are set correctly, there is still something in the OS that makes the battery drain.

    The worst one I've seen so far would drain 8% every 5 minutes; you could literally watch the battery percentage count down like a timer. Doing a restore of the OS fixed it.

    Not keeping up on the latest version of whatever companies OS your company currently will bite you in the ass in the long run. Hope that job keeps you for a long time because your skills are now stagnant compared to the rest of the job market.

    Any IS/IT job requires constant training and education to keep up with the world, not just your current environment; especially in today's economy.

    Hope you still remember how to flip burgers.

    Yeah, that slide to Power Off thing...just puts it to sleep. Still powered on and able to be wiped remotely.

    Hold Power and Home for a few seconds. That will power it off.

    For what I understand from my concealed/carry permit class, hiding in your bedroom with your gun "Waiting" for the intruder can be classified as premeditated since you thought the action through before carrying out the murder.

    Shitty interpretation of the law, I know. But lawyers will always find any loophole to help their client. Be it Government or not.

    The 386 was released at 12Mhz and increased through the different models up to 40Mhz. The most common however, was 33Mhz.

    The Turbo button did not increase the clock, but decrease it to 20Mhz for backwards compatibility.
