Comment Scope Creep (Score 2, Insightful) 228

"effectively gives Google the ability to arbitrarily deem any software, feature or function 'non-compatible.'".

How is this different from what other companies do in their 'App Approval' process? It seems to me that this lawsuit may cross into other areas if Google is found guilty.

Scope Creep applies in more areas than software development!

Comment Re:Does it explain the sucky battery life? (Score 5, Informative) 248

We have about 150 iPhones for corporate use and we have had to return 8 so far because of bad battery life. We have had more reports of deteriorating battery life from approx. 25 more users that doing a full restore to the phone and NOT applying the backup, just rebuilding the phone manually, has resolved their battery life back to original capacity.

The key is not to restore the backup created immediately before the restore in iTunes. Even though all of the push and antenna settings are set correctly, there is still something in the OS that makes the battery drain.

The worst one I've seen so far would drain 8% every 5 minutes; you could literally watch the battery percentage count down like a timer. Doing a restore of the OS fixed it.

Not keeping up on the latest version of whatever companies OS your company currently will bite you in the ass in the long run. Hope that job keeps you for a long time because your skills are now stagnant compared to the rest of the job market.

Any IS/IT job requires constant training and education to keep up with the world, not just your current environment; especially in today's economy.

Hope you still remember how to flip burgers.

How did you get through ~8 years of college level education on computers and still have a user interface confuse you??
