Tecdh. Machinarium. July | 2007 | Revolution 21's Blog for the People. The problem with poor people, and poor states, is they’re a pain in the ass. Oftentimes, the poor — both the people and the political entities thereof — are that way through nobody’s fault but theirs. Yes, sometimes poverty is due to bad breaks and real injustices. But I’d bet at least 70 percent of it is because folks aren’t that bright, never were taught any better or just don’t give a damn. Maybe all of the above. Though there certainly are many who would fit the sentimental stereotype of “the noble poor,” many, many more are just damn pains in the gluteus maximus. Some are strung out on something illegal most of the time. Sometimes, ignorance and being no damn good can combine to provide unwitting amusement for the rest of us — like the woman I once spied in the courthouse loudly complaining to a friend about her recent misdemeanor citation.
“What they mean nude conduct?” No, the husband said, those people just don’t want to work. And the key word here is “strive.” Strong Demand for Smartphones and Heated Vendor Competition Characterize the Worldwide Mobile Phone Market at the End of 2012, IDC Says - prUS23916413. How new mobile tech drives demand for freelance skills. Liran Kotzer is the chief executive of DoNanza, a one-stop shop for freelancers looking to find work and win new clients. With tech-related projects accounting for nine of the top 10 most common job requests on DoNanza, freelancers working in technology have noticed some interesting trends over the past two years. One of the most significant trends is the fluctuation in demand for iPhone, iPad and Android-based skills.
With the growth of the TaaS (talent-as-a-service) phenomenon there have never been more opportunities for the 42 million freelancers in the US. As well as the benefit of choosing their own hours and location of work, freelancers can also use their existing skills – and develop new ones – to make sure they can connect with the right clients and have a greater control over their income. iPhone, iPad and Android The data shows that there was a significant spike in demand for iPhone skills in October 2011 – the month that both the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 were announced by Apple.
Oops! Google sends journos its internal YouTube ‘coverage audit’ by mistake. It’s always interesting to sit in on someone else’s conversation. Especially when the topic is yourself. A Google press rep accidentally included the wrong attachment in an email to multiple journalists today, revealing part of what looks like Google’s YouTube press coverage goals, plans, and progress for last year — and what the rep thinks of various publications’ stories about YouTube.
Update: After publishing, the rep within Google’s PR team who sent me this told me it was an old template from his former life in an agency, and that he was thinking about using it within Google, but it is not an official Google document. Fairly clearly, the AP has been very positive, rating three “A” or “A+” stories about YouTube. VentureBeat, on the other hand, only scored a B in our coverage — perhaps we were a little more critical. Above: Click image to see full-size “While coverage dropped by around 20 percent, the quality of coverage (“A” hits) nearly doubled,” the document states. WiFi Did You Do That? - Windows Mobile Team Blog. Having survived explaining why the X button doesn’t close apps, I’ve been emboldened to take on the completely radioactive subject of why WiFi ActiveSync was removed from ActiveSync 4. I’m sure that I won’t come out of this one unscathed. The people affected by this are really angry.
And, though I didn’t have anything to do with the decision, I’m guessing that you’re going to take your frustrations out on me anyway. But, hey, someone needs to explain why these things happen. That someone might as well be me. The truth is out there Conspiracy theories abound. Secure this The official (and true) reason has always been stated as “We removed it for security reasons.” Quick diversion to explain what “encrypted” means. And that’s one of the main reasons we cut the feature.
You shouldn’t be furiously asking why we removed the feature. So why did you implement it in the first place? History lesson time. At some point, PCs and Pocket PCs started getting USB ports.
