By stealing data from competitors?
Congratulations. You get the google customer of the year award.
The appointment of Eric Holder as the head of DOJ could be the defining moment of Obama's presidency. Everything Eric Holder is involved in is turning into a huge pile of shit.
First world problems.
Did you mean Google strategy? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_acquisitions_by_Google
Only 5% of all android devices out there have ICS (http://developer.android.com/resources/dashboard/platform-ve...). Even if you are correct that ICS has no fluidity issues at all, that means 95% of android devices out…
I cant help but think that there are a lot of other personal grudges at play here instead of just an honest discussion about iPhone 4S vs Galaxy Nexus
Apple didn't build a freaking photo-frame..they built a tablet computer...
How is it unfair?
That's because they don't have any patents of their own to sue with. Before they acquired IBM's patents, they had a total of less than 800 patents.
They are being hypocritical by saying that Apple and Msft bid many more times than what those patents are really worth, when Google itself bid upto 4 billion dollars. And what gaurantee does Google provide that they…
Truth is on the cloud.
I think he is talking primarily about OEMs. Except HTC, i dont think any other OEM building iPhone/iPad competitors is making much money.
Google is not evil by nature (though i have my own doubts) and Facebook is also not evil by nature. Facebook simply has a different philosophy on _sharing_. They believe that people should share everything and be more…
If you already trust Google with your email, then it cant be that bad.
I am not trying to start a debate of sql vs nosql, but i have an honest question. What if foursquare was using a standard RDBMS like Oracle? Would they have run into the same problem?
I thought i was in the same boat as you until recently. Now the same job, which i thought was excellent, is boring and not interesting anymore. The people i used to love working with dont seem so nice now. What do i do…
Not sure why Oracle is getting so much flak for protecting and monetizing their acquired assets. They are doing what Sun had failed to do, which is monetizing the Java platform effectively, thus leading them to sell…
Prices can be negotiated with the carriers. Remember the original iPhone's 600$ price tag? Infact, MS supposedly got a very good pricing deal with Verizon which they botched up by not meeting the agreed upon timelines.
Now I am really starting to feel for ATT. I can't help but feel that it might be the iPhone(3G and 3GS) that should be blamed for all the dropped calls and not ATT :P
Microsoft will be 3.5 years late to the smartphone party when windows phone 7 series will eventually be released. People would have already made their choice between iPhone and Android.
Actually i blame nokia for the sad state of mobile user interfaces until the iPhone came along
The author seems to be under the impression that programming is same as building a product. Building a decent product is much more time consuming and mentally exhausting especially if you are on your own (sure being on…
Certainly no one expects anyone to get everything right in their first try. One expects to see a few bugs here and there in the first release and that is fine. In the case of Google Buzz, the basic idea of the product…
