To be honest, I really don't see how Apple can be stopped. They really are just blowing away their competition on nearly every front.

All the more reason for me to want to do well on my interview.

Meh, I like my android devices. Android keeps getting smoother and better with every release. it allows me to do more shit. Apple makes great consumer stuff, but it is a polarizing brand and they are a closed environment. Eventually the fanboys will move on to the next shiny thing like they always do. By then Apple will have burned its enterprise/creative market share completely, which is what kept it alive the first time it almost died. They are an extremely arrogant company.

that article is flawed. iphone sales crushing android? that's a slanted and biased view, because yes if you compare iphone sales against, say the HTC Rezound, then yes it crushes it. That is one, singular phone. Android as a platform, which is configurable across multiple hardware, is huge, and as irate says just gets better and better and makes iOS look ancient. not to mention that fragmentation does indeed exist in iOS, but again you never hear about that one either.

as for the amazon fire, the fact that android is underneath the hood is totally a part of the plan for android. that's the purpose of it. to be an OS that can be ported and used for a multitude of devices. amazon fire = huge win for google.

as for slates, win8 will fix that and will be the game changer. i dont care about what you say about metro, win8 is a full blown OS that will do everything your desktop will do that an ipad can't and more importantly won't. that is when i'll get a slate.

and last i checked google is still on tops of apple financially but for some reason you dont hear about that.

How it is biased? The guy is an Android user.

Frank · **Posted:** April, 27, 2012 - 12:05pm

well ok maybe biased is not the right word. however, i stand by "flawed" and i'll add ill-informed.

Everything I have seen shows Apple slowly losing its market share. So I honestly don't know wtf the guy is even talking about.

Seeing this kinda broke my heart....WHY SAM L.....WHY?!?!

I hope I didn't fuck up my phone interviews today. I didn't do spectacular on the 2nd one. I think I was okay on the first one. But who knows. We'll see what happens. I really dislike having to code on the spot under pressure. But then again, I doubt there are many people who actually like that.

What did they ask you to code on the spot?

Russell Casse · **Posted:** May, 7, 2012 - 11:18pm

Nothing crazy. I'm not sure if I'm even allowed to discuss it. I'll say one of them is about using regular expressions. I didn't get to finish it. I emailed the guy the solution afterwards though but not after tearing my hair out over why my regex wasn't matching. It was because I was actually calling the wrong method. It was in python and I haven't written any regex in python in a while so I didn't remember. When I finally figured out that was what's wrong, everything ran fine.

Sorry man. Maybe since you got back to him afterward it'll show some determination in your character. Good luck.

Nick · **Posted:** May, 8, 2012 - 5:09pm

Yeah that really shows determination and people definitely like that in employees.

so i have an iphone 4s through work and this thing is already hosed. first the bluetooth slowly died, now it wont connect to wifi or sync through itunes..so i cant even back the shit up...fukin ridiculous.

Frank · **Posted:** May, 18, 2012 - 2:50pm

i mean, as shitty as that is, that shit can happen with anything. however apple is put on this pedestal, so when their shit goes south its even more annoying. sucks braa.

well the worst thing about it, is i cant just go to at&t, i have to go the fukin apple store...which is just..terrible.

Nick · **Posted:** May, 18, 2012 - 5:43pm

Fucking Apple. I was so happy when there was that Trojan Horse for Apple and all those people tripped out. Every single time I tell a mac user I dislike macs they always go "but Mac's don't get viruses". Yeah, guess what, my PC doesn't get viruses either cause I don't do sketchy shit and I have anti virus software. Also I love how they were all "well it's no big deal you just have to update java and you're fine". Also is there even anti-virus software for mac? Because if there isn't that's dumb. I don't care if you don't get viruses now, because if viruses do become aimed at mac more often and you have no anti virus it's going to be a shitshow.

So apparently there are rumors flying around that the new Macbook will have no ethernet and no optical drive. Does this sound like the dumbest shit ever to anyone else? You have to use Wi-fi and you can't put discs in it? If that is true how will people install software like Final Cut or whatever mac people do. Also it would mean that it is impossible to transfer music from a purchased CD to a Macbook making the only source of music digital providers (like iTunes) and torrents, or they can start selling music on USB drives...

Limiting options is always shitty, but I also never use discs, and have never plugged Ethernet into my laptop. I'd take a lighter, thinner laptop over those things.

Nick · **Posted:** May, 19, 2012 - 9:37pm

Insanity. The only time I ever used my laptop without an ethernet connection was in lectures. Also I used my optical drive because I had courses that used a CD that was insanely useful. Also I find ethernet way faster than wi-fi and I rarely need my laptop to be wireless.
