Lack of applications. They decided to fix that by adding an Android subsystem, and nobody wanted to publish their Android applications to the Amazon store even with Amazon throwing…

Getting an EE degree is always an option — but since CS isn’t an engineering degree getting a second bachelor’s will take four years part-time. I’m doing that now at ASU and the to…
