can only deploy to ios7 or newer with swift
You're not dealing with the Android market which has a crap ton of people still clinging to Android 2.3 or earlier. New version adoption rate on IOS is the highest for any platform. And every phone that apple sells now runs on 7.0 or better.
Adobe flex. Cross platform, works on everything.
Your choice then... to be good on the platforms you write for, or evenly craptastic for everyone. Cross platform equals lowest common denominator. If you want to put out apps that people will call good... do the extra mile and code for that platform.
Apple has no way of automatically installing music on your devices with your permission.
That is a 100% correct statement. If you haven't turned on automatically download music purchases (i.e. permission), nothing installed on anyone device.
Apparently there were a vocal group of folks having a hissy fit at suddenly finding a U2 album on their iPods after the last keynote.
That just means Apple has to come up with new reasons to obsolete the current-2 versions of devices running their iOS. Which won't be a problem. They're good at that.
IOS 8 is going to be pushed as far back as the iPhone 4S. Now go ahead, wrap that up in your canard, and smoke it.
On the other hand I also wonder why in almost 40 years nobody has yet tried repeating the labeled-release experiment on Viking which tested positive per the pre-mission criteria for signs of life.
That's not exactly the way it turned out. The test got some major initial results when it was applied than nothing. The results from Viking fit the parameters of a very reactive and toxic surface, not for the presence of life, either archival or extent.
"Certainly that was true of the A7 SoC, the world's first 64-bit smartphone processor."
What's the point of a 64bit processor with 1 GB of RAM?
If nothing else, it lays the groundwork for future phones with more memory as well as ensuring that the I6 phones will be running the same OS as the iphone 7 and possibly 8.
I'd never buy an iPhone, sorry, I don't like the idea of being locked into the Apple way... but I've seen little mention of how the camera compares to current flagship Android phones
I'll take the Apple way over the Malware Range that passes for an app ecosystem in Droid land. It's either that or apps that don't free memory when they're not working. At idle, my Samsung Galaxy is still using 75 percent of it's built in RAM. And that's AFTER running the garbage collection application.
If there is no way to set up a test to and verify the results it falls more into the field of pseudoscience rather than science. If there is a way to test and verify but the data to do so isn't provided then it is more likely that it falls into the category of scam rather than science. (e-cat anyone?)
Climate science is given as an example. I don't see any reason to why results based on a model can't be backed up by providing said model or even the source code for verification.
Peer review is an important part of the global scientific progress. "Piltdown Man" is an excellent example of the need for peer review, which keeps true psuedo science such as perpetual motion and quackery like so-called "Cold Fusion" at bay. I find it rather astonishing at s-called open source advocates who praise the peer review mechanism to spot out bad code yet downplay it's importance in any other field.
All in all a classic carpetbagger move by Williams that everyone except Gygax fell for.
Oh? Keep in mind that it was Gygax himself who brought her in. Much how like Steve Jobs brought in Sculley, who later led the move to oust Jobs from Apple.
The ISP's can't prevent them from doing this and ISP's customers can choose another ISP that doesn't do it, or at least offers better performance. Another possibility is that the content providers the ISP's are throttling will eventually become ISP's themselves, especially Google.
Waiting for Google to save us is essentially waiting for something that's not going to happen. Most users are stuck between a choice of one ISP or perhaps two, both of which engaged in the same practices.
"And what good is FTL drive when you still need large rockets to get off of 1G gravity wells?" because once we get into orbit we can go to the stars? Seriously, that was a stupid question.
No, there are no practical models at this time for 'FTL'(I include warp like techs in that), but do you seriously think that if we did manage it, we wouldn't go to other planets of star becasue we need to lift it into orbit first?
So you don't see a problem with the fact that we still need the equivalent of a Saturn 1B rocket to get people off the ground? What good is a starship when you can't land and off the planets you discover?
