Awesome. Thanks for that.

Entirely possible BMW did not stick to the standard. If they did it would work. My 5s works on a pioneer deck with the 30 pin connector that is 10 or 12 years old.

WTF is with all this generation naming crap. It is silly. When all we could come up with was Generation X we should have stopped.Now we have Millenials. WTF is a Millenial? The age range (according to Wikipedia) is people around 13 to 35 (Other sites place the range as 22-32 which seems a lot more reasonable). How does that mean anything? They have nothing at all in common. The GP post referred to Millennial and Generation Y as two different things. Everywhere else says they are the same thing. Which is it?

I somehow ended up in X. I have kids in Y, Z and whatever comes next. I was 6 when Y started and I did not have any kids until I was 22. Kids born when I was 6 have little in common with my son. People making all these presumptions about people based on these silly generation labels is ridiculous.

Just because the goofy GP can't pay his bills and prefers public transportation is an anecdote not a trend.

College loans have very little impact on your credit score unless you are not making payments...

If you take away the cheap, shitty, unupdateable phones, Android no longer has a market share lead...

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.
