BlackBerry also separates the data layer. Save a document to an SD card from your corporate email and try to send it from your personal email? You can't. But you can send it from your corporate email.
It's not the same as fully virtualizing, but it creates a nice data firewall between corporate and personal data.
a BB and MS merger? would require MS to say ok Linux has a place
How so? BlackBerry Smartphones don't run Linux, they run a mostly proprietary OS with heavy Java integration. BB10 and PlayBook run QNX, which is an independent micro-kernel with a POSIX interface. Given that Windows itself has a POSIX subsystem (admittedly it's in the process of being depreciated), this wouldn't be a difficult pill for Microsoft to swallow.
I agree completely with regards to giving kids their freedom, my parents were annoying about being over-bearing and it meant that I didn't get the life experience of taking care of myself early in life.
The trick is to know what they're up to, but NOT INTERFERE unless it's actually dangerous. Let them get into a little trouble, because that's how life works, but it's good to know that all is actually well.
It's called an iPhone. Your kid will carry it willingly, no stress, no questions asked.
Good try, except that people overwhelmingly support ObamaCare when you present it outside of a political context (in other words, sit down and show the terms to people without the label). Inside political context, you still have well over 50% supporting it, so it's not even clearly divided on party lines.
Heck, even Mitt supports it, he practically wrote and implemented it himself at the state level.
"Out of 19,000 emails received by the Committee on the subject of the proposed Draft Communications Bill, not a single one was in favor of it, or even agreed with its premise. Has there ever been a bill so universally rejected by the public in a consultation?"
In other words, the people overwhelmingly support this initiative and it should be implemented as soon as possible, probably way pay raises for the politicians involved?
And does it run Linux?
Understood. And with regards to relaunching the icon, this makes sense. However, when you fast-app-switch back to the web-app, it would be really nice if it left you where you left off instead of restarting like virtually all modern iOS apps do.
iOS does, but it's severely hobbled. When you attempt to return to the app (via fast-app switching or the home-screen-icon) you get to see where you left off for a couple seconds, then it returns to the main URL for that web-app.
This makes it a huge pain to actually use this functionality since if you save, say,
I'm not surprised that Apple has rejected an App that has the purpose of getting people interested in the author's own political agenda.
This is true, Apple never approves applications that have the purpose of fostering a particular political agenda. I bet if Mitt Romney's campaign submitted an Amercia app, it would be rejected promptly.
I've yet to see anything resembling a usable map interface implemented in Safari Mobile. Even Google's is clunky and painful to use vs a native app, so suggesting "Just use Safari" doesn't really scale until it can create as functional an interface as what native apps can do.
Apple is, and should be, free to prohibit any content they want on their store.
Absolutely!
It's their store, we shouldn't force them to add stuff they don't want.
Nobody is forcing anything. Yet. For the same reason that Apple has a right to carry (or not carry) whatever they like, I have the right to complain about it.
The problem here is the locked down devices. You have no other way of installing things on an iPhone.
And this is the reason I'm actually alright with forcing Apple to carry certain things that they might not otherwise want to carry. If the App Store rules weren't such a moving target, I'd have less of a complaint, but the fact that limitations on what software I can install on my device are added after the initial purchase of my device is a bit of a problem, at least to me.
It's not about fragility, it's about respect. If you can't pull off a bit of respect in an interview, what do you offer as an employer?
Sure, go ahead and hire someone who thinks of themselves as a "fan" instead of a "professional" and see how that goes.
In fact, why not mock all of your potential candidates to see how they handle abuse and only hire people who "pass"?
My point is that I was very specifically addressing only desktop installations. It's entirely possible that Android will have a presence in the desktop world in the future, but today, that's approximately 0% of existing desktop installs.
Suggest you just sit there and wait till life gets easier.
