That's my feeling with the current generation of Android devices which got rid of the 3 buttons below the screen.

What if I know what kind I like and don't want to change that? I don't see why you think it's such a bad idea for people who know what they like and want to make their lives easier with a little button. You don't have to get one, but don't try to make people who want one out to be mindless consumer drones.

What went wrong?

Thanks for linking that, it was a great and quick read. That's very dark but shockingly relevant to this topic.

The fact that they've already had a data breach within the first week or so of launch is not exactly a strong argument for how secure their platform is.

From what I've seen, the acronym typically doesn't include "of", and is simply "SOL".

No no no, clearly it's all because of Apple. All other print magazines are thriving!!! /s

And would be harder to get a job with, presumably. I would venture that it would be much more difficult, but I'm simply speculating.

You really don't? And you're trying to take some form of moral high ground over it?

The stream was a disaster and tarnishes the entire announcement, whose image is priceless to Apple. The jobs of the people responsible are in no way worth more to Apple than the damage done by said people.

I completely agree. I've been employed as a software engineer for about 2 months now and I would most definitely consider myself "junior". To put myself on the same level as the people at my place of employment who have been SEs for 20 years would be a disservice to them.

My thoughts exactly. I don't understand why they feel forced to live in such terrible, expensive conditions. Sure it may be temporarily inconvenient and difficult to move, but wouldn't they be far better off somewhere else?? I just don't get it.

It's not "unfair exploitation". The students willingly sign on to get meaningful experience working on real cases. It gives them a chance to do real work and see more closely how actual law work is done.

From the sounds of the article, there is one small clinic in Brooklyn that makes this a "real option" for companies. It's not like every company that faces patent trolls can rely on it, but I don't think it would be far-fetched to think that other law clinics may begin to (or already do) offer similar services.

As I see it, it's a win-win for both parties.
