Going to have to say that I've had a much better experience with iOS than any other platform. In the past three years I have moved in the following sequence:

- Windows Mobile (Motorola Q)

- Various BlackBerry Devices (Curve, Storm, Torch, etc)

- Android (Nexus One)

- Windows Phone 7 (Samsung Focus)

- Android (Nexus One, again) + iPad 2

- iOS (iPhone 4S)

Having dabbled in J2ME, BlackBerry, Android and iPhone development, and having used all devices for a minimum of two months, I can tell you that,] if for some crazy reason, I decide to jump off the iOS boat, I will be going straight to Windows Phone 7 and not Android.

In terms of overall UX/UI and general happiness, I've found that the top three platforms are represented as follows:

1. iOS

2. WP7

3. Android

With regards to overall ease-of-development and awesomeness of API, as well as general happiness from developing for particular platforms:

1. iOS

2. Android

3. BlackBerry

Obviously just my own perspective, but I think this gives me enough authority to recommend a platform to a particular user when asked.

Interestingly, this kit you can buy has a slit cut into it for a window and it still seems to drop slowly in the video:

I agree that's fair, hence why I think it's the right choice even given the pain. The reason I pointed out that it's been three years is that sometimes, it's not just a choice about pain now, but a prolonged pain starting now and maybe lasting years.

Here some advice from Ryan Freitas

http://secondverse.tumblr.com/post/5840343627/so-you-want-to...

Here a couple of red flags to look out for.
They are looking to be a billion dollar company. This is another way of saying that they have giant egos and unrealistic exit plans. Find the people that know the topography of the exit landscape and how they fit into it.

Business Development personel without a product: For most startups, its just too early to have a BizDev person around, unless partnerships are critical to the success of product

The CEO can't code

They have 1 Jr level designer to feed 6 engineers

Everyone uses Windows, including dev-ops. (run away)
To be fair, PA didn't make any attempt to litigate that. American McGee told them to take it down, and they did, essentially no questions asked.
Thanks - it's good to know that this is still a technique to keep in mind. To second your opinion, my current boss (company founder) read the post today; his comment was also that "this doesn't stop".
LLCs are fine for many things - but not generally for dealing with investments or equity. Whether they're worthwhile as an intermediate step depends on what you're doing and when. They're rarely appropriate for "build to sell" companies whereas they're often appropriate indefinitely for "build to own" companies.

Equity is for founders, core team, and investors. Equity is not for contractors.
The problem with finding programmers that are good at the social stuff (phone support, dealing with customers) is that the great conceit of programmers is:

That knowing things is more important than knowing people

Hence (most good) programmers will find dealing with customers and doing phone support a tedious chore.

What you are looking for then is a programmer that doesn't passionately love programming. If you find them I am willing to bet that as far as their programming skills go they are not so good.

----

Alternately, look for someone who used to be a hot-shot programmer, but then dialled it back, "got a life". Look for programmers in their 40s or 50s who are more into the social aspect of life. The problem is, they won't work 80 hours if you're only paying them for 32.
I think you're just looking for the man page. There are blog posts out there showing how to set up CI builds, which will also get you started, but the man page isn't too long and is the authoritative reference for what xcodebuild will do.
Agreed! I certainly haven't learned enough to make a job for myself out of other skills, but developing breadth is not limited to college.
Good god, I'm not alone.

I don't see the author as claiming there is a "failure of science in general" (I didn't read the title of the article literally, however). I think a drug like that getting that far into development, despite targeting an extremely well understood biological pathway, is a decent example of the practice of science in at least some contexts hitting certain limits.
19 credits and 20 hours of work a week does not really allow an hour a day of "relaxation" time. Unless 19 credits is a bit lighter than what I am familiar with.

Ooh. This might be the beginning of JS/web-based synths. I'm curious what kinds of cool synths musicians might dream up and how the having synths on the web could make it different than anything before. Are browser-makers considering an API that allows me to plug my MIDI keyboard into a webpage?

Once you go Android, you tend to stay there.

I think that's conventional wisdom- and I think it's wrong. I went from Android to WP7, because I am a weird UI obsessive. But my girlfriend has an Android and is due an upgrade- and she's sick of it. She's likely going to get an iPhone.

I agree. The original road to lisp is a prime example of confirmation bias. While a small fraction of the responses are nuanced, most of them are simply along the lines of "lisp rocks."
China hackers hit US Chamber of Commerce
They didn't make any attempt to litigate it, because, as I understand it, a lawyer told them it was not a good idea (http://www.penny-arcade.com/2003/04/21):

We are, of course, talking to our lawyer about all this stuff. Readers have referred us to many sources in an effort to clarify our position legally, sites like Chilling Effects act as clearing houses for data useful in situations such as this. Also, interesting cases have been brought to our attention - for example, Aqua’s song “Barbie Girl” was contested by Mattel, and Aqua still came out on top (as it were). In darker news, Matt from MacHall send this interesting bit - check page 3, “Dr. Seuss Enterprises Vs. Penguin Books.” To my mind, that precedent doesn’t mean anything good for us.

> At any given time, about 10 percent of Americans are completely incapacitated by their lumbar regions

How can this possibly be true? Completely incapacitated, ie bedridden and immobile? Surely the country would be in near collapse if 30+ million of its inhabitants were randomly bedridden at any one time just by that one medical issue.
Trying both ios,blackberries etc, I deployed 12 androids in the family. I like its flexibility, and being a programmer, I sometimes download roms. Android gives a lot of freedom. I didnt like ios, mainly no widgets, no context menu standardized and too many buttons and button clicks, no true multitasking. it is for single threaded people, because it puts you in a mode where you have to go one by one.

Android is truly a swiss army knife and talks to all out needs. I have so many options. For example for international travels i have a smaller android, my father insists on a dual sim. Android tablets add to the diversity. Wp7, blackberry and ios lack in diversity and free customization options.

I suggest everyone to try Androids. There is one for your taste.

It's not free, they charge you 30% for the privilege of violating you tenderly at their whim.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

It's also not free as in GnuBeer either, since as a general rule they generously decline to explain the reverses in policy (pet theory: it is based on the retrograde motion of Sirius the dogstar, since Apple is clearly controlled by the reptillian lizard-people from there)
I know this is orthoganal to your point, but Arch Linux ships with python3 installed by default. Of course, python 2.7 is in the repositories, but you have to say /usr/bin/python2 to get to it. That breaks all those stupid build scripts that expect python 2.x to be installed in /usr/bin/python and nowhere else.
It's remarkable the legal lengths to which Apple and Microsoft are going to try to stop Android, but it looks like they are having little or no effect.

Lawyers get paid, some silly patents get worked around, but that's about it it seems.
Pakistan holding trump card on NATO supply halt
My wife got the HTC hero first. That turned us on to Android. Then we both upgraded to the HTC Evo. Then we both switched to TMobile and got the HTC Amaze. I had mine a month before I lost it. Insurance replaced it with a new one. The tablets, the first Galaxy tab was a Sprint one with a contract, which was returned for a WiFi one. It then got sent to the Philippines so my father in la could use it for video chat. The Acer iconia and the Asus transformer are so my wife can have one that fits in a purse and one for a laptop replacement. The g slate is the extra one, but since it has a sim card, well use it for travel.
Not to mention that it seems most of Microsoft's patents are worthless when they are tested in Court. 6 out of 7 of, which I assume are some of their best patents if they used them in the lawsuit, have been declared invalid.

http://mediacenter.motorola.com/content/detail.aspx?ReleaseI...

If the manufacturers currently paying Microsoft patent fees man up and take Microsoft to Court, they could break free, too, or at the very least pay 7 times less of what they are paying now, if their other patents are just as worthless.

But seriously, how could anyone even think the current patent system is even close to being fine when most of the tested patents in Court are being declared invalid? (I believe Apple also got about 18 out of 20 of their patents invalidated in Europe). This is ridiculous.

The python program was simply the server the attacker sets up. It could be run on any machine connected to the Internet and then accessed by the shell program from the user's device. The emulator and server were run on the same machine to make it easier to record the screencast, but the method works just the same on a real device and a remote server. There is nothing really difficult about how it is done, it is explained in the linked presentation, it is just a nice demo of it.

I wonder why they don't just use a word that people understand.
I've had the opposite experience.

I started messing around in photoshop making paintings of websites and dreaming up ideas in high school. In college, I convinced a programmer to help me build one of my ideas, and he agreed on the condition that I had to code the front end HTML and CSS. So I learned how to do that and surprisingly enjoyed it.

Then I realized I could quit my job making websites for people, so I got even better at building and deploying static sites.

I started going to meetups and built more side projects and sites with friends and started to get more comfortable with Rails, JavaScript, Git, etc.

After college, I went to work for Olark (YC 09) and realized that I could be far more useful if I knew how to program. So I've been working hard to get better at the various languages and frameworks that comprise our stack. And I'm well on my way to becoming a desingineer.
@ghempton, if you're still reading these comments, it's likely you're passing a iOS 4 or 5 message without checking to see if the message is received.

I ran into this recently with a number of simple startup checks, e.g., if the device is a high-res ([UIScreen scale]) or if it's an iPhone vs. iPad ([UIDevice userInterfaceIdiom]).

> I think this is a fascinating question, but one that's not tied up in culture at all. It's not just the Koreans and Chinese that have succumbed to this, but also the Russians, Germans, Yugoslavs, and South Americans that I can't name.

That's probably because you need to study more history.

Taking the past 200 years in Russia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_Russian_constitutional_cri...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991_Soviet_coup_d%27%C3%A9tat_...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Revolution
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolution_of_1905
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_II_of_Russia#Assassin...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decembrist_Revolt

That's just the largest, most-well known events.

It would also help to know a bit about current events (NazBols/Other Russia protests, the Caucus wars going on for the past 10 years, etc.).

By Germans I assume you're referencing Nazis. Where was the Nazi injustice for the Germans? Given how much ordinary Germans profited (http://www.amazon.com/Hitlers-Beneficiaries-Plunder-Racial-W...), it's surprising more of them didn't support the Nazi party.

7 Reasons Why Mobile Broadband Internet Service is Better Than Cable Internet
I agree with the Split test, but also while you are at it, run some landing page test. However, that means you have to have alternatives to test, so get the visual design stuff right and have a few versions to test with a specific conversion event in mind that is not "buy" As of now the page elements are so incongruous it's just baffling.

Quick question: why is this a website? this seems like information I would want on my smartphone so I could have easy access on the go.
Android is like a supermarket: limitless choices and combinations, but you've got to cook it yourself.

iOS is like a restaurant: most of the choices are made for you, but the meal is effortless.
And these numbers are the reason why Android development is going to be a royal pain in the butt for a long time to come.

There is just no incentive for Google to change the developer tools to be more developer friendly, to be more powerful when developers are forced to release an Android application simply because it is the platform with the most users on it. Despite the fact that from a development standpoint it is a nightmare due to differing hardware/software to the point that shops that want to develop for Android have to have 30+ devices just for physically testing. The Android emulator is absolute crap because of timing difference a bug can manifest itself in the emulator and not on the phone and vice-versa.

Not only that but the quality of applications on Android devices is simply not up to par with the quality of the same applications on the iPhone. It says a lot when Twitter and Facebook wholesale take their UI designs/decisions and put them on Android devices from their iPhone counterparts.
Nothing. But to win they would have to show that the company really was responsible for it, since the accused is innocent until proven guilty. The accused can also request a trial by jury; 12 people generally make the right decision.

Wired is an old news/magazine. They are just sensationalist now. They are trying to engineer headlines that will last, and while Wired's headlines might last, I don't think the brand will.

The Hobbit Trailer Debuts
Amen. I wish they also included how many different variants of Android were actually being shipped, and what version each one was. _Those_ numbers would make us developers tremble.

With iOS, it's simple -- if a million iOS devices were activated today, I'd know they all ran the exact same version of iOS 5.x, and none were customized or bastardized by OEMs. At least on that front, I'm thankful to Apple (I can write a whole other rant about iOS' crappiness too, but that's not relevant here)

PS: Here's an example of how Android EMs screw over apps/devs: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5358014/android-httpclien...
I've been running Aurora for six months without any major problems. The only annoyance was some Add-ons were disabled, but Mozilla's Add-on Compatibility Reporter Add-on allows you to force-enable older Add-ons. That said, I think this Aurora release cycle will automatically opt-in all Add-ons.

I guess these numbers will increase as mobile vendors provide better ROMs with their mobiles. I bought a LG Optimus one to get started on Android (a year ago)and I got sick of its LG ROM in two weeks flat. Then I rooted it and put a custom ROM from XDA forums (with a custom optimised Kernel). I couldn't be more happier with my mobile's performance than this.
Also I hear some new models of LG, HTC, Samsung have minimal default apps and lightweight ROMs now. So people don't have to be frustrated with un-removable built in apps and crap default home launchers. This will certainly get usability freaks (like me) interested.
If it's a new device that is activated by the carrier, then it's a new "sold" device. So the numbers signify 700,000 Android devices sold per day.

Thought she handled the, "well, this is news to me! i don't know anything about the recent IPOs!" response pretty well.
Getting back to the original discussion, you were arguing in favor of the amount of beggars going down if everyone helped them out. Beggars are already a tiny minority in the population (around 3.5 million people will be homeless in a given year, and only around 25% of those turn to begging, out of a population of 300 million). In order for begging to quadruple, only 1% of people would have to think like those in the examples I gave before. So if 10% of people think like that (and I suspect it's much higher than 10%), you'd get a 40x increase in begging.
