I'm not sure what you mean, the iOS boot loaders are encrypted and signed. There is a fairly strict chain of trust running from the physical ROM on the chip itself to the apps on the home screen, with each stage signed and verified. Some are "encrypted" (all are when installing, but some in flash storage as well), all are signed.

At the current time, there is no known vulnerability in this chain of trust for iOS devices released after September 2010. Comparing this to Android "locked" boot loaders or Windows 8 is severely devaluing the security infrastructure Apple has in place here. I'm not going to even argue they Apple has done a good job — compared to something like the Xbox 360, they clearly haven't — but it's a step up from what you are describing.

Also, at this time, iOS is the only operating system that will run on iOS devices released after June 2008. The iPhoneLinux project attempted ports to the original iPad, but s far has only been successful on devices through e iPhone 3G.

The title of this story is highly misleading. MS have said since around september last year that if you want to target Windows on ARM specifically, then you have to write Metro style apps, using the new WinRT API. Existing desktop apps are not supported - you need to rewrite them. And this applies to all software developers, not just Mozilla/Firefox.

"The ARM version of Windows 8 will not support desktop applications. So if you want to write an app and you want it to work on any version of Windows then it has to be a Metro app." -- http://stackoverflow.com/a/7426405/507950
Thank you, it makes sense now. Sometimes it is useful to describe things in terms of their derivation.
I agree with your basic arguement reptile83. Companies that start whining are on their way down. A company that looks at how to overcome obstacles or create new opportunities is who succeeds. Thats how they started, now that they are large and employees start running the show in various ways, out comes the whining.

Where's the entrepreneurial spirit?
Fully agree. Since maybe it wasn't clear, I wasn't objecting to the approach of "let's decide what our firmly written rule is" but to the seemingly-implied rationale given in support. "Let's decide our primary responsibility" sounds like it's more concerned with responsibility than utility. Having those priorities is the thing with which I disagree.

Not only that, but the author also seems annoyed by older terminology taking new meanings, as with "radio buttons", "bookmarks", and "folders".

The irony here is that he has no problem calling the device he uses a "computer", despite the older definition no longer holding true, or especially referring to "files", which is certainly not a term used in the old sense.

Dijkstra's "On the Cruelty of Really Teaching Computer Science" rails against analogies (the source of these terms) at length, but I'm not certain that there's much validity to the argument when the new meaning of the term eclipses the old one.

Great Article. I have been playing around with both PhoneGap and Titanium. Definitely there is no apple to apple comparison between these products. Both of them serve different purpose though similar in language and technology. Now that PhoneGap( Apache Cordova) is part of Adobe, not sure about the long term usage with respect to licensing etc.
The question is not whether it is POSSIBLE.
Mozilla does care but I guess not as much fuss has been made as there is when it's Microsoft.

Icons don’t have to make sense if people can learn them. I think people are being way to hung up on things being too skeuomorphic.

Remember that A didn’t start as an A, it started as a sign for ox. That’s right, our writing system had skeuomorphic origins.

Someone growing up today might not know what a handset it, but I’m pretty sure they recognize the handset icon. This is true for a lot of stuff in our culture (think of non-textual road signs).

Taking advantage of naivete doesn't excuse them from being scumbags.

You can worship scumbag employment practices if you like, or claim that it's his "fault" somehow for not understanding the value of what he was doing. I prefer to reward people at least SOMEWHAT proportional to their contribution, as opposed to proportional to their business acumen.

In your world, the 1% get richer, the rest get screwed, and the economy crashes like clockwork. Sounds like a bunch of scumbags in control to me.

In the world I'd like to move toward, everyone (but the 1%) would benefit from a more stable and sustainable economy, since the 99% (those who actually create) would be compensated much more, and would actually benefit from the crazy productivity gains we've experienced over the past 40 years, instead of it going to the talentless 1% who happen to be holding all of the cash rightfully earned by the 99%. And the frustrating this is that they believe they deserve it. [1]

The issue is that Microsoft will not give access to the API's on ARM systems that are required to do this.

http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/asa/archives/2012/05/firefox-...

"Here's what's going on. For Windows on X86, Microsoft is giving other browsers basically the same privileges it gives IE. It's not great that you don't get those privileges (certain API access) unless you're the default browser and I think that's deeply unfair (a post for later,) but at least we're able to build a competitive browser and ship it to Windows users on x86 chips.

But on ARM chips, Microsoft gives IE access special APIs absolutely necessary for building a modern browser that it won't give to other browsers so there's no way another browser can possibly compete with IE in terms of features or performance.

This is in direct violation of the promises they made to developers, users, and OEMs about browser choice in documents which mysteriously disappeared from Microsoft's site -- remember this? I sure do."

That's all great, but WinRT does not appear to have the necessary APIs to support a third party browser. There's some detailed reading available at [1]. The tl;dr is that APIs like "allocate some memory here, and allow me to execute it later" that one would need to write a JIT are not available to applications in WinRT.

The key argument here is the same as Microsoft's previous issues with undocumented APIs. I think it's fairly clear that Microsoft wants Windows RT to be an iOS and Android competitor, not "Windows 8 on ARM". If you subtract the Classic mode from Windows RT it's in the same OS category as iOS, they just took a different approach to get there by basing it on their desktop OS.

The problem is that Microsoft has turned pretty much the entire Windows API into an undocumented API (AFAIK, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding the technical details here) and completely locked it down so that they're the only ones that can use it. It's not necessarily simple to move a large program like IE or Office over to a new architecture, but it's going to be an order of magnitude easier to do so when you don't have to rewrite it to an entirely new API (in this case Metro) while you're at it. Yes, Firefox can still put out a Metro version, but I would imagine that it would be a significantly greater undertaking than if they had the ability to write to Classic.

The unfortunate thing here is that this isn't necessarily an underhanded plot by Microsoft. There are definitely some benefits to the more sandboxed-style apps pushed by iOS and Android vs. what you can do with a desktop OS, especially when it comes to non-powerusers that just want stuff to work. From that point of view the Classic mode in Windows RT really shouldn't even be there at all, but if you want something like Office on ARM anytime soon then it's probably the only option. The trouble is that Microsoft wants to provide the additional benefits of a few key Classic applications while also trying to avoid having the OS turn into a bunch of poorly-ported desktop applications and I'm not sure they can have it both ways.

If you're in your late 20s (and a computer nerd), you probably grew up with DOS: CD, DIR, etc.

Besides, if you're a programmer on Windows, even if you're really young and started with .NET, I'm pretty sure the API and the MSDN docs still consistently use "directory" throughout.

I thought Hanselman's tweet made the point far better than the entire article because the article very quickly became quite the stretch trying to find examples: overlooking the fact that many, many people are still using dead-tree calendars, folders, and clipboards.

The really interesting point - that there are more and more icons that truly are becoming "icons" in a more metaphorical sense of the word - was already made quite poignantly by the tweet.

> Clearly not all violence is physical violence.

I'm sorry, but I will have to again disagree with this, even more so than regarding oppression. I am entirely with the WHO definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violence). I believe this is very important. Otherwise peace gets labeled war, war gets labeled peace, free speech is deemed violence, and violence is deemed free speech.

Example. If you look at history, violence in the Balkans began with the spread of nationalism into the highly fragmented populations living under the Ottoman empire. While the Ottoman regime was quite far from what we know as a liberal democracy, certain power balance was maintained, and certain groups (Jews for example) enjoyed more freedom in the Ottoman empire than in the neighboring European countries. With the fall of the empire, the newly prominent ideologues of nationalism claimed that an ethnic (as opposed to administrative, economic, social, etc) group of individuals has a right to self-determination. They relabeled the lack of ethnic self-determination as a condition that could only arise under violence. By postulating this "ghost" of centuries-old violence, they justified violence on their part against all other ethnic groups that seemed to lie in the way to ethnic self-determination. Instead of learning how to live with each other (actually they already knew how to live with each other, before they unlearned it that is), various groups took up arms, and the region that could potentially be as prosperous as the Scandinavian countries remains to this day the poorest region of Europe.

What I meant to say with that long story was that as soon as we have a situation where there is no violence being done to individuals, yet a large group claims to be violated, there is a potentially explosive situation on our hands. When there is violence done to individuals already, then the situation is already bad of course, and not as likely to get worse.
I'm not sure why Microsoft wants to exclude other browsers from Windows RT. Since many people hate IE, wouldn't having more browser choice be a benefit? Mozilla or Google could probably offer a better browser on Windows RT than Microsoft. Does Micrsoft make much money off IE? Wouldn't it be a better value to focus on their comparative advantage creating operating systems to help others make the web browsers?

In the inevitable comparison to Apple: the iPad's browser resembles Safari, which a minority of computer users use, and has poor support for HTML5. If Mozilla could make Firefox for Windows RT, which would be the same browser many people are used to, and could potentially have better HTML5 performance on a tablet, would that not be an important advantage over Apple, at least for adoption among technical users?
Edit: I now realize you are talking about your experience in India, where of course things may be different. However, I would think that even there, 'managers' are a distinct subgroup from other human beings.

Original:
That's an unnecessarily negative view.

Managers are people too and come in all the variations people come. Some of them care about whether the company does well, just like people whose title doesn't contain the word 'manager'. Their relation with other managers is exactly like the relation of your manager with you. That someones title includes the word 'manager' doesn't mean they suddenly like all other people whose title includes the word 'manager' and it doesn't mean he suddenly considers them equals. Being a 'manager' is not a binary thing. Team leaders are managers, even when their title doesn't say so.
