Does motorola have any advice and price/performance comparison and info on good android deals for buying elsewhere ? its a shame they left the press release without that info after going all the mile to tell us to buy elsewhere.
i will buy elsewhere. thanks. though, you didnt need to give the advice. the expression of your stubbornness in locking down your customer, was all that i needed. next time, dont waste sentences in your precious press release - realize that saying one thing may directly imply another and economize words.
in the past, when you couldnt find people to work with those software. we are not in the past. o/s that has gone mainstream enough has huge base of professionals available to hire or to contract. from linux to php. check the listings here out, for example www.elance.com . it is a good picture of i.t. landscape.
it doesnt matter open source or not. software which has not gained enough userbase, will not have enough professionals working on it. this goes on from operating systems to platforms like python and php or android. this is the nature of software and hardware. hell, actually its the nature of all things technological. produce millions of volkswagen beetles, and in 10 years you will have people who can service them all over the world.
'strings unattached' sounds more bullshit when these are considered.
you are the one making dumb statements. ill let someone else reply you. and, better to keep your mouth shut, when you are an idiot who thinks the patent game is that simple, like you do.
what about the piled up profits senior guy had had helped the company amass with his own skills in the past ? what about his share from the profit in the form of his salary ?
there is guy a, who had worked in the company for 10 years, who had caused the company to amass maybe millions of dollars in profits with his work and skills, and there is guy b, who is new, who had given NOTHING to the company yet, getting more.
there seems to be something awkwardly wrong there.
in the trenches, in actual business, yes. its opportunity cost. if you are learning x, it means you are spending time that you could be learning y. and if x flops, then you will have wasted the time you have spent, and havent had learned y.
i think you need linguistics. seniority doesnt mean 'old'. senior means, the senior dubbed person has more history in the company or in particular field than the new hire.
yeah. and tell about c, c++, perl, java, c#, python, ruby, php to the megacorporations, mega, mega global banks, and finance institutions that still have systems running on a/s 400, because it is too costly, risky and adventurous to change the entire system.
mobile. a new thing (tm), which is exacerbated by the new social hype that carries the fads on the internet. something that which has a nature and direction not known by anyone. not to mention that it is a field of battle, result of which battle is not known, and can go anyway.
so learning iphone development is good (tm), then. what happens if google wins the war ? or some other unknown party ? or, european union wins it ?
back in 1980s, there were a lot of hot new stuff going on and about. up until ibm started liberal use of their personal computer specs/patent, there were a lot of upcoming, new/hot stuff and 'platform of the future' flying about. what happened ? in just 5 years or so, all went away and personal computer, a particular model name of a particular private company, became de facto standard of world computing. noone would even guess that result.
so, youre saying that learning something that hinges on an outcome that noone can even begin to guess about, is something good.
we all have been young. we all have been hot. it all passes after a while. those young developers (one of which, i am one) will also specialize in some fields and will stay in those fields after a certain time. that's human nature. you cant just be going at all the new things like hyper. not to mention that most of the 'new thing (tm)' end up being fads.
senior developer is harder to find. because, eventually, most of the developers will either leave the field, or move into management, or set up their own business. if, you have a senior developer who is still developing, coding actively, it means you actually have one of the rare ones out there that are still in others' employ. you should stick to him/her. once s/he flies away, you will be hard pressed to fill the position.
if, the new tech is so much needed, just pay some bonus or something to the new developer accordingly. dont upset the senior one. this also can incentivize the senior to to take on some new things too.
and last but not least ; dont get swept up in the endless fads that sweep the internet/i.t. world every now and then.
there is no way i am using a tablet for what im doing on my home pc. even proposing that shows how lacking in i.t. knowledge and computer aptitude these harvard business review people are. maybe they think computers/internet means facebook updates, twitter posts, messaging and mail.
something that is 'reasonably open as per defined standard bodies' but, is subject to the ownership of any private party which can at any point end that state of openness at whim through their ownership of underlying patents, is NOT OPEN. it is a state of 'dubiously open' or 'haphazardly open', or 'illusory open', or 'open for now' or 'open depending on the whim of the patent owner'.....
open means open. and dont be mistaken and think that there is difference in between ownership and openness concepts - in the world of software, they are directly linked - today's open can be tomorrow's closed when you wake up.

simple conclusion : in capitalism, the one with the most gold makes the rule.
your proposal is too wide and far, compared to the context of this discussion

are you aware that, there are a lot of mega banks, finance corporations have infrastructures that are still running on a/s 400 and similar old stuff ?

how can a private party dismiss a LAW, while using the law to sue others for their own interest.
concept of ownership was challenged. mod to oblivion. dey comin for ya. hide your patents, hide yo codecz ...
in all respects.
