not sure i grok this comment, but I think I agree?

Thanks, awesome job. I'm loving the definitions I'm seeing so far. How long did it take to create this?

This is great, and looks so much easier (as does Scaloid), but I have never found a commercial project that I can use it on. #1 by choosing Anko or Scaloid you are isolating future developers to only those familiar to Anko or Scaloid OR those willing to learn (as well as the fact that Scaloid doesn't sell very well on resumes IMO; my guess is the same for Anko).

It's a dilemma, as Java+XML is very verbose. still, with the amount of work Android Studio does, I'm not sure its a big problem for most of us Android Developers.

I love Sauerkraut on a good sausage. Do you actually eat it on it's own?

Thanks, and I do love apples. Any good literature that you have read on the topic? I'm interested in changing to a more probiotic friendly diet.

Any recommendations for probiotics? I've tried a couple with no luck myself.

While I agree that Twitter has strained relationships with developers, Fabric is a great move. For anyone who hasn't used Fabric, it is the best mobile SDK integration I have ever seen. It seamlessly works with XCode, Android Studio, IntelliJ and Eclipse to easily let you add Twitter features, distribute builds ala the now POS that is Testflight, and get cross-platform crash analytics.

...if this is a fox luring me into it's hen-house, the hen-house sure is comfy and well-featured. Sad to see it diminished in this article, when IMO it's a far far better offering than any other major companies (looking at you Facebook) are putting out.

Funny how some of these are way off, while others are pretty spot on:

7. Don't disappear from the retail chains. Rent space in a computer store, flood it with Apple products (especially software), staff it with Apple salespeople, and display everything like you're a living, breathing company and not a remote, dusty concept.

True that. I have no motivation to update my iPad 2 so far!

Is it really dying? Just curious as I love mine and I am not familiar with the numbers. I remember speculation some time last year, but the article I had read didn't cite any hard data.

yes, its usually IDE's emulator's for me. Put xCode and Android Studio on there and run an emulator.

Also, I've had a similar experience running Visual Studio + SQL Server.

So glad jQuery came along and became what it is. Scary to think of a world where it was just bundled alongside Prototype. For those not versed in Prototype, those were dark days (at least for me).

Even false prediction have truth behind them. Just because the author mentions some truths doesn't mean that his conclusion is right. This is his case, and though he mentions some truths, his conclusion is "laptops will remain in niche markets".

If you read the last paragraph the author doesn't believe in the idea of the laptop and says they will remain a niche market. I honestly believe he couldn't imagine a light, affordable laptop with features being desired other than in niche settings like the military.
