“owned in report after report of market share analysis”. We don’t care about market share. That’s for the sort of people who are proud that Apple makes hundreds of billions of dollars from them. Linux users care about getting work done. I haven’t had windows running at home on the desktop for almost ten years now. My…

Wireless charging is fantastic. I can hardly wait until Apple invents it.

Yes, thanks. I thought there was actually both, one for viewing, and one for editing, but I may be wrong.

Check out DarkRoom, the open source competition for LightRoom. I’m not sure why it’s not mentioned here, as it’s quite spectacular for photo editing.

It’s old, but unlike iOS, there’s really nothing you can’t do in more recent versions of Android through apps. Android is not artificially crippled by blocking certain types of apps. The only real concern is security patches, which may or may not be important, depending on what sort of apps you run. If you don’t have…

Install Linux. Pick a distribution, they’re all quite usable. Set it for auto updates.Install an ad-blocker for their browser. Almost all of these problems go away, and they’ll be amazed at how much faster their computer is.

“Slate” and “Forest Floor” would typically be aromas, which would explain why you can’t taste them :)

Holy crap, Lifehacker has an Android article.

I was going to say it could be running Linux, but as there’s an Apple watch involved, it’s very unlikely. Linux users tend to be smarter than that.

You can actually transfer VirtualBox VMs to other machines, and even migrate to other VM platforms with its included tools.

I’m really good at farting. I hardly ever make a mistake.

It doesn’t sound like an angry person to me, it sounds like rational advice from someone who can see how locking yourself to a single hardware provider with full control of what you can do with ‘your’ device ends.

What looks to me like a better version has been available (for free of course) for a few years.

Lifehacker seems to be pretty heavy on the Apple articles these days. Between iOS and OSX stuff there doesn’t seem to much room for anything else.

This is exactly what will happen. I’d much rather see them punish people actually breaking the laws that stop people from releasing tools that might conceivable be used to do it. Personally I have a hard time believing abuse was ever even remotely a common problem. Maybe I’m paranoid, but this just seems like another…

Given the late Steve Jobs attacks on Android, wouldn’t this be like a Jewish person voting for the Nazi party?

This is why trusting your process instead of trusting your people will always either fail, or require exceptions. For the example you’ve given here, that sort of situation is rare, and in my experienced can generally be handled better by data driven solutions that a monster case statement. Not always, but generally.

I thought there were some tools ... but perhaps I’m confused. If the photos are integrated with Google Drive there are some options available.

5.1.1 is not a “major” version update and is still rolling out to Nexus phones even.

Keep in mind that unlike iOS, there’s really nothing that you can’t do with Android through apps, as there are no artificial limitations. The later versions will change the look and include some of these features for you, but it’s not that big a deal. I could probably get by using a five year old version of Android…
