Wait, one of the things I've heard about Facebook is that there is almost no change control. Especially on the mobile app side, that people just add code to the app without any rea…

Are you actually writing an implementation of Java? No? Then it shouldn't affect you.

Which are usually supported by having 7 tracking libraries and 3 ad brokers in the app. And having a bunch of free apps doesn't really make the ecosystem appeal to developers who w…

I think it's more that there are more hobbyist developers on Android, whereas iOS developers are trying to make a business out of it.

I don't recognize the currency offhand (Google says its the Indian Rupee), but I can tell you that in the US, the difference is not that much. Especially because most people tend t…

It very well can. However, unless they absolutely have to, the company is not going to pass those on to customers. Think of it: If you could save 5 cents per part, and you didn't h…

CEOs are the ones who make the decisions on what kind of stock program to implement.

Some are, some aren't. Some are run by charities and churches, some by private companies. Many of these, especially ones in smaller, more rural communities, will receive government…

Except what would f.lux add on top of what Apple has released? It seems like Apple already did all the work.

Irrelevant. We're talking about people who feel entitled to the work of others just taking it.

And that entitles you to just take it? Again, why should anyone pay you for the work you do if that's what you believe?

No, nobody is "entitled" to access to content.

No, because part of the reason for the crackdown is due to the content creators. It's not Netflix not wanting to serve people who are using proxies.

Why do you feel so entitled to the work of others?

Except that is not the case, and your statement is nothing more than worthless hyperbole.

Jesus Christ you people are such entitled little snots. With attitudes like that, why should anyone pay for the hard work you do?

Emotional experience does NOT trump usability. Period.

Another 3 seconds will reveal that your thinking is similar to the justification used for spending public money on stadiums, and giving tax breaks for movie filming. Both of which …

Forbid them from giving sweetheart tax deals. Which is NOT forbidding them from attracting employers.

There's the added costs for those additional people in terms of traffic congestion, schools, and other services. There's also the lack of a guarantee that GE will stay long enough,…
