Apple also gets >50% of the smartphone industry profits which is arguably more important.
In an article about 'developer fears of Apple' it probably isn't tactful to boast about the loot Apple rakes off the top. It isn't expensive anymore to use an eCommerce framework to sell direct to your customers. Oh, you can't??
Javascript is what makes pages load on peoples' browsers in seconds instead of milliseconds. It can turn a relatively recent computer or tablet into a slug.
Keep your 'code' outta the marked up text that I'm trying to read. Nobody cares that you think you're a 'web developer' because you can slow down a stream of text that your 'users' are trying to fricking read.
That's a rather racist approach. What defines a person as 'black'? What percentage of their lineage needs to come from 'black' forefathers? And why are you sorting people into 'races' in the first place?
Data processing long precedes digital computers. The old form of a data record was the 80 column punched card. They could be stacked, sorted, fed into readers that fed the desired fields to a printhead. Databases consisted of stacks of cards. Most of the 'programming' was plugboards that specified which fields would be used for what.

(off topic, but interesting punched card trivia:) My father was a programmer on the IBM 650, an early computer which leveraged the old punched cards as the data records. Programming one of those consisted of putting lines of instructions on a stack of cards. Put the 'assembler' program into the card reader to load it into the 650's memory. Run the assembler program. Load in the 'program' on a second deck of cards. The computer running the assembler read the source deck and punched out an object deck. Then the object deck was loaded to run it. Every run of the Assembler would punch out a new object deck. All input and output was punched cards.
The more important thing to research is License click-throughs. If it can be determined that the normal human reaction to a License agreement click-through is to punch right through without reading, it won't be hard in a court of law to declare them void. I make it a practice to NEVER read them. Most other people do too. So I can testify to that in court if ever necessary.
although that doesn't mean he's not a crackpot -- especially when he weighs in on areas outside his expertise.
Almost all the 'scientists' who sign petitions regarding AGW are 'outside their areas of expertise' when they sign. It's no different than 10,000 plumbers signing the petition.
Actually, the California gold rush was a movement to rapidly settle the West Coast that we had expropriated from Mexico. We won a war against Mexico and California was part of the 'spoils' of that war. President Polk 'won' the land, and we needed to quickly settle people onto it.

Thankyouverymuch. I've looked at the Windows App store.
It's pitiful by comparison to Android or even the Fruit platform.
Anybody who thinks 'racism' when hearing the phrase 'slave labor' is a racist.
Research the history of slave labor. No 'race' owns it.
Often you can go further on a tank of gas if you drive slower.

It's nice enough for building a Personal Home Page, anyhow.
They've been dead in a lot of our worlds for years.

So, then, Fascism is more like the General Motors bailout.
We are not worthy!

No you're wrong. They get to espouse whatever marketing bullshit the genius barristers at Apple spin up to hype this one.
It's always something rather rich, in the same vein as the rich exotic manure one can procure from a zoological garden.
Earlier examples have included:
Alitvec Unit
SCSI!!
Retina
One Button
RISC
Usually it's a bastardized tech term of some sort.
It's gonna be fun watching what kind of bullshit they sling this time.
So you'd rather we throw out the bathwater, baby, AND the washbasin, I presume.
Naw,just a Wookie the firstlady.

The SE/30 was a pretty good 'workgroup server.'

We should take up a collection to buy you a handgun so you can take yourself out of the society that you despise.
Or a canoe, I suppose. Surely there's a desert island out there that you can build utopia on.
A blog on slate isn't a very good citation.
You really need to reach beyond your stereotypes.
I know, I know, it's more rewarding to righteously oppose the parodies you spin up in your head.
I took a CS class in HS. In 1975.
Why do people see it as a radical new thing?
They should focus on improving their schools, not chasing novel fad trends.
It still would have looked great on GP commenter's front lawn on cinder blocks. Probably the best on his block!
Lets leave medium sized chunks of metal in the road and find out.
Fireworks in the springtime are nice.
