10 years ago Apple had 5 billion in revenue. Now they're pushing 100 billion in revenue. They butting in on competitors who operate in the 5% margin range, and who are all desperat…

Do you think there is a fixed "profit" out there for the taking? Apple's profit margin is an extreme aberration, and it isn't sustainable. Any comparison that relies upon profit nu…

Having your APK in multiple markets is laughably trivial. But regardless, what a way to try to dig a negative out of a story like this.

Clearly it just works for a lot of people. I really tire of the "if it doesn't work for me it shouldn't work for anyone" attitude. These sorts of complaints are ridiculous. It's on…

There is no way that 15 people found it useful and/or interesting. It's someone giving a brief resume and then, in a nutshell, saying "Gonna be doing stuff with data". So my questi…

I am deeply curious why 15 people up-arrowed this. Was there something in it that I missed?

The single and dual core thing is technically ignorant. It is exactly the sort of "detail" that people add to fabricated stories to lend legitimacy to them, but when they reach bey…

Completely and totally agree. It's total manufactured bunk. Even technically...to make "dual-core" apps work on single-core processors? Weak.

These surveys pander to a certain audience. Just had to check, and sure enough it's on Apple Insider, just as it will be or already is on most Apple-related blogs. These survey com…

Do you think I am? I find these surveys in all their forms to be garbage , whatever the purported outcome is. They're almost always online (because it's no-name, no-budget survey c…

Another day, another survey by a company desperate to get attention by defensive Apple fans. Sad how well the tactic works. So I guess Android is done then. Lets shut her down! Or …

Dell has been seriously underwhelming. They put zero effort into software, and their hardware has been...mediocre. I'm not quite sure what they're going for, but they're failing ab…

I'm not quite sure why copyright infringement should make me concerned about the applications as a user. Though it's notable that there have been several noted cases of gross copyr…

I am not sure Android sandboxes that well. Android sandboxes far better than iOS. It has a more granular, integrated security system. The existence of "anti-virus" and task killers…

Such an exploit could be in place on countless sites you visit daily, with no one the wiser. Further, aside from technical competence, why does anyone trust PoF? Why do they trust …

The real problem -- and the reason for most of the outrage -- is password reuse. Can we all agree yet that password reuse is the actual problem, and not the storing of passwords? W…

http://www.droidsector.com/blog/2010/12/02/android-and-ios-f... I'm not sure if the bump numbers are broadly relevant: who is the average user who will be running bump? It isn't a …

Lots and lots of users don't upgrade. I can't find it right now, but one iOS dev did a story on fragmentation in that camp based upon their own metrics, and it was scary. Perhaps t…

You're pretending I'm not pretending anything. Quit with the trollish tactics. The service adapts to the market. Sure, people can increase their cap by buying the "insurance" You r…

Looks great, and as someone with four young children I would say that it's a winner concept for the niche. Targeting a specific niche is a very worthwhile pursuit, especially given…

Who is pretending anything? What a trollish comment. Yes, 25GB is an absurdly low cap. Most providers have a basic plan that provides 60GB, with a usually quite inexpensive way to …

Revenue == funds to build capacity. If everyone really wants to stream Netflix 24 hours a day, the capacity will be built but it isn't free. This is how every single element of the…

Your diagram there was unfortunately wrong. Swannie's variation was actually correct. The issue here is not about the last mile. I'll say it until I'm downvoted to oblivion, but pe…

They weren't particularly swift. Every other party had come out strongly against UBB while the conservatives would only say they would be "paying close attention" to the ruling. Op…

Not to mention that they were introduced at the same time as Netflix launched in Canada, and the providers' own TV-over-IP services were exempt. Caps were in place on the vast majo…
