Yeah, but you can expect Apple to grant the new iOS much more reliably than you can expect even a Nexus device to get an update.

And updates! with an iPhone, you can expect software updates on DAY ONE for many years after release. With android, you even have to wonder on Nexus devices.

But how often DO things go wrong? For the most part, people can use their iPhones without a care at all of how it works. It just does. Multitasking is handled very well, so that background apps don't mess you up. Settings are very clear in what they do, and once you set them up there's nothing really much more to do…

There is another point of innovating. People like to say that Apple isn't really innovating lately, in view of crazy features that Android has been getting. I'd like to expose my opinion on why that is not true.

iOS is better for consistency's sake. I know a lot of people think "Hey! I'm a smart tech guy! I can handle Android!" but in reality, it just takes too much work. I'm a computer engineer myself, and while I had a Nexus (which should be best in class), it was still too annoying to deal with apps and interfaces that…

I'm guessing it'll probably be the cheap(er) apps that mostly do this. If an app is that expensive already, they'll probably just update. Users will be more enraged about rebuying those apps than the $1-$3 ones that are in the "Meh, might as well" territory.

Then it's the job of management to make sure their employees are properly motivated. The role of the customer is to engage the company, get whatever good or service they provide, and pay. If they really liked the service/good, then they can fill out a comment card. Management can and should reward the people the…

My issue is that using tipping as a performance evaluation is stupid. It places that burden on customers who don't know better. This is the reason why managers exist. As an engineer, I don't get a tip from my customer if I performed my job well. I get a bonus from my boss.

Siri is incredibly useful. I use her all the time. If you are not, then you're just holding it wrong.

so use Google Voice...?

Good!

I wouldn't want to have a fully shampoo'd head when I find out that the hot water is /never/ getting on because someone else used it all or it's broken.

or you can just use whichever tool fits the job at any time? No reason to close ourselves to just one alternative.

Yes, you do. But you don't need an expensive one. From my experience, just got to a cheap college near that is near the company you want to work for. They'll hire you from right there.

I always just say kryptonite. The job that I have right now, the interviewer just laughed and moved on.

Nope. Bank Of America. But yeah, it'd surprise me if any other bank actually processed income before expenses for this very purpose.

Yes! This. Another effect I noticed when using debit as the pump, and while also having low balance, is that while the pump will only authorize $1, once the bank receives the final amount (which might take days!) is that it might put you under $0, and incur an overdraft fee. To add insult to injury, I've had this…

Well, it'd be fit for him, right? faster killing your favorite characters, he'll kill your favorite author, before he can tell you if their deaths we're not in vain.

I think the better question is what motivates the developer. A paid app is pretty straightforward. They just get your money. Free is another story. A developer has to find SOME WAY to get value off of you. Do note I said value, as they could just be doing it for fun, and your value is word of mouth or bug reporting.…

Yep, precisely my thinking. So, to summarize, kids. Use as debit, unless it's truly time sensitive.
