Seems much improved in 8. Been playing with it for a while and the more consistent fonts make the flat interface much better.The ios 8 beta feels much more polished than ios 7.1.1

I think he is actually dead in Eminem's basement so your all good. I heard it on the radio.
Only if you have it run as an app instead of in the browser. I am not sure why they elected to make the sandboxed browser less powerful. The only thing less clear is why you think that has anything at all to do with Apple contributing to FOSS.....
Thank you for saying it much better than I did.
Actually the desktop interface is using some similar style but is clearly moving away from the phone interface. No mention of that launchpad at all.
Apple users can be a strange lot. I have seen a lot of complaints today that the video doesn't stream correctly on PPC based Macs....
It probably is for iOS users since it allows direct access to the app filespace without copying. If services can do that via extensions (maybe they can, hard to say), then that advantage won't last long. iCloud Drive is cheaper than DropBox and 3.99 a month for 200GB is pretty good.
There, now they don't have to.
This is silly. I am running iOS 8 beta on an iPad 2 and it has not crippled anything. We have 2 iPhone 4 devices here both running 7 without issue. Your friends are cooky.
Where is the 4 on sale? 8 runs on the 4s which is still on sale. I believe the 4s is the oldest model sold anywhere on this planet. Perhaps you checked Jupiter?
It is not the number one platform for developers. At best it is 3rd after Windows (desktop) and iOS. Marketshare is not all it's cracked up to be. There is still very little money in Android developing.
Why do you care? They aren't charging by release. If this were Microsoft where they charged by the release you would have a point. If this were Gogogle, where the new release had almost no chance of running on your current device, you might also have a point. This is Apple and therefore you have no point.
What do you mean subsidized? Accept students on financial aid? Have some government research grants? Why would any of those preclude the university from selling an invention?
If this research was funded by a government grant then the university would not own the IP. That is clearly not the case here or this would have died in court 5 years ago....
Pretty pretentious for someone who is wrong...
Ah blackberry where they don't need your device because they just hand over the keys to the completely unnecessary server companies were forced to stick in the middle of the email chain.
No but apparently to properly use FOSS, you need to "donate" at least $100,000
The major difference between bonds and bond traders is that the bonds will eventually mature.
