When you are a public company with activist investors and a high P/E ratio, the madness never ends. Apple has to continually justify their lofty stock price or it will collapse.
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
Agreed. I can't see the iPad being a hot item now that so many people have them and are satisfied with the functionality. It's a different kettle of fish than the iPhone. I see the same fate for the Apple Watch. Once everyone...

I think that if you did research on the history of who gets targeted most, you will find that open systems are not usually the target. The deviant community seems to have an "in" for closed, proprietary systems run...

The iPod was pretty much folded into the iPhone. The problem with the iPad is that the iPhones are getting larger screen sizes so it is easier to watch movies and hold meetings with them instead of bringing another device....
In reply to: Re: is it an iPad or monitor?
An excellent point. I use my iPad as an in-flight entertainment device. Until I win Powerball, I will be flying in cattle class and the iPad is the right size for that space. It is also the perfect size for use in hotels...

I guess Google might have thought about weather, but then again - they are located in CA, where the weather is almost non-existant, so they could have missed that ;-) How about winds, storms, hurricanes, hail, and lightning?...

The new MacBook does look pretty great, and I'd love to test it out in person. Never thought I'd see a MacBook that would make my Air look thick by comparison! But I'm with you, I won't be buying one. It's amazing how they...
In reply to: Re: Apple Stuff
Yes the lack of physical connectivity is an issue, at least for me. The HP laptop i use for work is a great device because of the HDMI, SD, ethernet and USB ports onboard. I like to have a monitor connected to my laptop...

True, the permission area is really the place for trouble. IT pros could set up a restricted network for BYOD users to use for access. This could help act as a firewall from the serious systems.

"Building products for the disabled is not just important for those individuals that can't us general products but, it is also important for the world to continue its progress forward." @Brian, I agree 100%. Meeting Eve...
In reply to: Re: A strong suit for digital devices
I agree. Too bad there isn't a way you can go into the settings for each app and modify the permissions. I think iOS has something along these lines at least with notifications.
In reply to: Re: App permissions abuses may pose greater danger than rooting.
Yes everything is dependent upon the watch being tethered to an iPhone. Without that connection, it is a brick.

@Kelly22: The only people i see buying the $10,000 version are people who have that kind of money to essentially throw away on a gimmick. The bulk of the sales as i see it will be for the $349 version. I was really annoyed...

@maddoghall, I completely agree, from an IoT standpoint, it is difficult to determine the processor architecture that will dominate the IoT segment. Great devices and ecosystems are being created everywhere that uses the...
In reply to: Re: Assembler language for embedded systems: please do not
@1eustace, "Lately, it seems application developers are abusing this aspect of the OS by asking for permissions to way lot more resources than they need." I have to agree that this is one of the bigger issues and people...
In reply to: Re: App permissions abuses may pose greater danger than rooting.
C, C++, Java and JavaScript, provides the developer with the familiarity and scale that is required to get a project completed. At the other end, B# type languages are also good because they create newer functionality and...

SusanN,
It's much better to carry all your devices in a bag, instead of looking like a tech marsupial. :D

Remove Einstein's insight and it would be easy to see that the world would receive a set back of a few decades. Likewise, remove Stephen Hawking's contribution and again, it would be easy to see the setback that the world...

@David, great article about the economy of IT workers. The numbers of variables are many and a worker should definitely plan carefully to create a long term sustainable flow of higher income. The worker has a finite amount...

I never get people's willingess to spend so much more on an Apple product than they would on a "PC" laptop that they could just as easily install OS X on. I know some people don't understand that there is no real difference...

TerryB, you made a great point. I feel that there is an unknown amount of hours, at which point a professional could be considered an expert coder vs. a business user that is modifying OS code to enable some real world functionality....

Building a Mobile Business Mindset
The differences between mobile apps and conventional Windows clients, or even web applications, are far more than skin deep. Yes, the touch-versus-keyboard interface, APIs, and programming languages are new, but that’s arguably the easy part. There are profound differences in how the two are built, the functionality each prioritizes, the release cycles on which they’re developed — even the attitudes, values, and work styles of the developers creating them.
