I guess you're leaving the actual comparison as an exercise for the reader. IIRC, both involved people who had little business savvy and a missed opportunity presented as a regretful decision. no money is exchanged here however, and they

Yes, but they still pay you as if they charged full price. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. The description thing is just odd though.

He definitely is. The developers definitely should get paid 20% of their asking price for free downloads because some people think that's what happens. Amazon should definitely be responsible of their perception in the eyes of a few niave

What a joke. No wonder this game is taking so long to release. Creating a global marketplace like this is a serious development effort. This isn't a game anymore.

obviously in such a small (in terms of computing in general) discipline, a general purpose language might not be the best. Now if you want to publish your results to AWS and a website and pull data from a website front-end, etc. You can pr

Interesting approach, but the problem here is Apple doesn't sell books on iPhone (or rather 3rd parties do and they don't do a very good job of it). This is more like a retroactive, me-to I want that market move. The Kindle app product is

| If they have their own bookstore they're trying to run why should they enable a competitor's in their own home? If Microsoft spent so much on R&D for Windows 95 and IE, why shouldn't they build it into the OS? Why shouldn't they lock

I also read the patents, and to me, it sounds like Apple has patented both the smart phone, and applications that use a network.

There is a lot of things that Facebook won't do that Google+ can do. The reason managing friends lists in Facebook is so god-awfull is because Facebook wants it to be. There is also several other interface eccentricities put there to mak

Ok, because the implied situation in the article is the LightSquared is pooping all over the GPS spectrum and then selling licences to manufactures for their spiffy new GPS service which happens to work much better than old GPS now.

All of the above, plus a couple of more. (Do SQL-ish caches count? no matter still a few more)

That's my entire point though! They seem to think that they are a "utility" that deserves a "natural monopoly" status, in the meantime, they continue to inovate and compete, often unfairly, to both taxpayers and buisnesses.

WebOS/Palm/HP did a very good job of this. WebOS was far more productive than iPhone at the time. Nobody would have known though because it wasn't Apple . It came on cheaply made devices and had a skunkworks feel to it.

IMHO, they should just get out of the media game and focus on their network as a service. If they are going to play the "natural monopoly" card then they need to act like it and not be buying up media outlets. It's incredible that nobody

Building a datacenter doesn't make you a datacenter expert. I'm not saying that Apple can't do it, just that they're not going to be able to do it as well as Windows or Amazon.
