Please reread his comment, it implies I'm wrong in very condescending language, all the while his statement implies agreement with my first comment-- it's meant to be an insult and I had already been downvoted to -6 so what's the point? My first two comments are fine, yet I only had hostile feedback. Honestly, I'm not going to go all internet martyr, I'm just not going to comment because clearly the hivemind has spoken.
How can either of us be right or wrong about an SDK/product that doesn't exist? It's speculation either way, all I did was base mine on Apple's previous launches.
I think it boils down to a bunch of 19 year olds looking for superiority highs and that they get some high on downvoting someone.
Long time reader, yes, hardly every comment, though.
I take offense here: As for your downvotes: I'm sorry, but as has been stated previously, we value technical accuracy.
It's needlessly smug, flippant and dismissive, as well as hypocritical seeing as how he's accusing me of being wrong about a product that is yet to exist (so we're both speculating) all the while he agrees with the point I originally made, but is too stupid to realize it.
I think the problems you cite are made much worse by our weak political participation. When people participate, they're forced to be somewhat aware of what's going on. By not participating they allow themselves to disconnect, which let's politicians get away with more and more.
The root cause is education, if people were more educated they'd feel more empowered and more informed and be more likely to participate--with better results. I think the two party system allows people to be uninformed and just vote on a reflect.
Everyone should vote and participate. It's our nation's low political participation that allows politicians to be so unaccountable. If more people were politically active, involved, and educating themselves, we'd have much better politicians and laws. I blame our education system for not teaching people how important voting is.
You're agreeing with me and proving my point:"So far, the only device (that I'm aware of) from Apple that had a wait between the product launch and the sdk launch was the original iphone. Everything else, as far as I know, had an sdk launched way before the product was launched."
That's exactly my point, so thanks for agreeing with me.
I don't think there was anything wrong or inaccurate with my comment--anyone guessing why Apple does or doesn't do something is going to have fairly equal odds.
Also for your smugness, not needed, not helpful, not necessary.
Actually your comment is the one that is technically inaccurate, why would Apple wait a year and a half to launch an SDK. All I pointed out was that Apple's big launches come in 3 year cycles, it wouldn't fit for a TV SDK to launch now, or anytime soon.
Except he has no revenue model and is essentially just a big digital ponzi scheme. Who is going to foot the bill for Facebook? Advertising? Please...the click through rate is 1000x more effective for Google adwords than Facebook. It's passive vs. active advertising. Anyone involved in marketing or advertising knows this and will stay away. Only the naive would consider using Facebook to advertise. Zynga/Credits seem to be their newest revenue model...but seriously how long can that sustain itself? Persistent profitability..I don't see it.
