Then why would they invest millions, if not billions, in creating, enhancing, and supporting developer tools? Obviously they only do so to benefit themselves, but it's quite clear from their actions that Apple does care about developers.

They must've planned this as a way to placate pissed off app developers.

I also prefer In-N-Out to Five Guys, although they do have superior fries and you gotta love being able to munch on peanuts while you stand in line. In-N-Out's deducation to quality and top-notch customer service is actually quite similar t

Yes. The interface looks so intuitive and just plain fun. Plus the battery life and 1.5 lb weight is fantastic. I can see myself spending the vast majority of my non-coding time on the iPad. Being able to use my bluetooth keyboard with it

Free article: http://techcrunch.com/2010/03/18/google-tv-apple-tv/ To be honest, I'm surprised it's taken Google so long to do this. The potential benefits for Google are even greater than Apple's because Google is working hard to become

The qualities this article talks about (being compelling, caring about your employees, executing) are all essential. But you can't expect just one person to embody all three. Your founders/management team should collectively provide them.

That would be a very bad move and very un-Apple. I actually agree, but it would be better than forcing developers to adhere to a static memory quota. Ultimately there isn't any simple answer for the iPhone multitasking issue. Maybe Apple

The article makes some interesting points but I think it fails to take into account the plummeting cost of starting and running a startup. Because it's so cheap to start/run a company, and only getting cheaper, there's much less need for go
