Two sovereign states with the name "China" exist.

ROC = Republic of China = Democratic China = Taiwan
PRC = People's Republic of China = Communist China = Mainland China

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Chinas. Prior to 1971 "China" was the ROC in the UN, it is now the PRC...

They might not be going out of business, but they've had no growth over the last decade(they stopped really making money in 2000).

and set it to 10yr, Google even lets you compare it to the Nasdaq and Dow Jones averages (putting your money into a fund that tracked the Nasdaq over the last 10 years would have netted you 100% more money than MSFT stock).

They support all browsers when not editing content(the way most people use this site)... this article is also rather old

Actually, on iOS mere jailbreaking does even less than rooting on Android. Jailbreak just disables the code-sign check when an executable runs(so you don't have to sign your code with Apple). The problems for iOS and Android come later when people start modifying everything(which a lot of packaged jailbreak/root-exploits do).

It would have been interesting to know what apps they were really logging crashes for(I'm guessing all apps that use Crittercism). Were they including only non-beta internal builds in these numbers? That would have driven the iOS5 WAY up since you normally develop on the latest platform.

Of the apps that send their crash data to Crittercism and were included in this report; iOS apps crash more. The writeup here makes it seem like they were logging crashes of normal apps...

I disagree

You really don't get much more protection with Java then you do with native code on iOS. Exceptions only help you when you know you need to catch them. Null pointer dereferencing is pretty much a non-issue in ObjC/Cocoa because of the way messages are passed(at least no more than java.lang.NullPointerException). When you are multithreaded in Java it's trivial to make the simplest code throw a ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException or NullPointerException when you hava your logic wrong.

The data we are looking at is from the small subset of apps which use Crittercism rather than TestFlight (why is anyone not using TestFlight?). It's not meant to be representational of the real-world. It would be interesting to know what iOS-based and what Android-based apps use Crittercism.

It looks like at some point the Lumia 800 was on the top of Expansys' Swedish top20 page and Expansys' Australian top20 page.

So "it was on top of sales charts of Sweden and Australia" isn't an outright lie...

I'd expect the cost to get their Enterprise License was at least several thousand on top of the $399. You need the DUNS number, incorporation papers, and signatures... I'd figure at least 100 man hours went into shuffling paper around between the contractor and various government employees.

Why not Ackee Inc?

Really?

Really?

Oh please: Google funds patent trolls, gives patents to other companies to sue, and patents the absurd. Intellectual Ventures was suing Motorola Mobility while Google bought it, Google gave HTC patents to sue Apple with, and Google has patented Doodles on homepages...

Should Apple just allow themselves to be sued? Yeah right.

Google isn't an altruistic international corporation.

I think you are way out of line for faulting the judge here. He didn't rule that one patent was better than the other, it was made on the contracts that Samsung had agreed to and the law. Samsung was obviously in the wrong(possibly to the point of fraud).

Make sure you include Google and IBM in your list of opponents to free software.

In reality, this legal crap between Apple and Sumsung is how progress is made. What's awesome about the Samsung/Apple cases are they AREN'T SETTLING! Out of court settlements don't move law forward.

Samsung is claiming to own an international telecommunications standard(and they might)... Samsung could take every 3G capable piece of equipment off the market if this was allowed which is why patent's covering this technology are by law required to be fairly licensed to everyone.

It was on Slashdot a couple days ago. http://apple.slashdot.org/story/11/09/27/1748236/apple-says-samsung-3g-patents-violate-rand-requirements
