I don't think they will get rid of macs simply because Apple ties Xcode to macs and makes them at least profitable enough to keep running.

Touch screen on macs? Apple saw what happened to Windows 8 and skipped that.

With 4 yr degree talented developer has better chances to learn how to make quality/portable/maintainable/well designed/etc. code. But in the end the pool of good developers is still small, not sufficient to meet the current demand. (And lots of Co.s would like cheap top developers, but that's another story). So at this point anybody with coding aptitude should reasonably expect to get coding job. It is just that they would reach 'top developer' state with proper mentoring or education or such.

It will come at huge cost, increasing price of phones (gotta absorb R&D and production cost). Only companies specializing in modems make money from their production.
And good luck with entering that market and not infringing on some patents.
They'd be better off with making a joint venture with Intel.

You have successful platform (iOS), that you make obscene money off. So gotta let your suppliers profit too. I get that Broadcom wanted big piece of pie, but thet's where competition come into picture.

It is going to end up like their self driving car. All money in the world does not make you best in everything.

... see if they have any merit, and count them. And then just maybe compare them to overall number or reviews.

I usually get kernel panic before anything else :)

Typical accessory scam.

You know, ones that worked on the safety systems in aerospace industry for the last several decades, using technologies that aren't cool in 21st century. Guess what you get with toddler engineers.

I bet if they would use the ol' guys just as consultants the number of catastrophic failures would be near 0. Just like it is in the aerospace when you ignore the human factor.

And how does Mozilla get their money?

It is not about US market, it is about now being illegal for US companies to license software (like Google Play) and hardware (like CPU chips) to ZTE.

if AMD didn't come up with its competitive lineup. Suddenly intel is all interested in making chips that are beyond regular evolution process of last 5-10 yrs.

What's going on, how come that one of world's biggest companies can still afford to produce such buggy software? It is not like they cannot afford enough software testers.
I don't think that they don't care either, maybe don't care enough anymore after somebody who really cared has died..

Don't be so naive, they'll lease it back to gov't too...

Not *my* definition of obsolete, just a small dose of sarcasm. It is definition that intel + Microsoft are going to be pushing.

Folks, your CPUs 2015 and older are obsolete ... how convenient for Wintel.. get that fancy new CPU and another copy of Windows 10, because what you have today is OEM version, so with a new CPU you'll need a new Windows copy.

Is why 3 generations of this device can't properly go to sleep mode. Every other wake is either: device dead or wifi dead.

But of course, you can blame it to testing methodology...
