| schestowitz | I never quite trust those numbers of Guh!rtner, but whatever they say, Android is rising and it's what we have left of mobile Linux, I guess, although Tizen is now getting an aliendalvik-like tool for running Android apps. I'm developing an Android app today, it's less challenging than I imagined. Windows is quite irrelevant in this space; it has no apps, no developers developers developers developers. Remember that Joe was a | May 18 09:34 |

| schestowitz | What's more practical is probably developing open source game engines, while actual additional development and game art will stay closed. Of course ideally having fully open games (including art) is good, but it's hard to imagine how their efforts can be monetized. Selling support isn't going to make it. So if someone can come up with working model - it would be great. | May 18 09:36 |
| schestowitz | Designers, artists and as well as 3D developers is a hard work, and while non profit games exist, they rarely manage to have big scope and high quality. | May 18 09:36 |

| schestowitz | credibility-index seems to have outlived its purpose because many of the people in there no longer write. The number of Microsoft boosters in the press declined as well. Now there's a group of Android bashers, though. | May 18 10:09 |
| oiaohm | schestowitz: really android bashers also seam to get beat up. | May 18 10:22 |
| schestowitz | yeah | May 18 10:23 |
| schestowitz | but they do have impact | May 18 10:24 |
| schestowitz | like the "fragmentation" stuff | May 18 10:24 |
| oiaohm | But the fragmentation stuff has been justifed. | May 18 10:24 |
| oiaohm | It has seen google to head to head with carriers in places to get it corrected. | May 18 10:24 |
| schestowitz | it's a diversity thing | May 18 10:25 |
| schestowitz | like Windows on the desktop, with lots of h/w | May 18 10:25 |
| oiaohm | Not really. | May 18 10:25 |
| schestowitz | some companies tweak android | May 18 10:25 |
| schestowitz | but they don't fork it | May 18 10:25 |
| oiaohm | When you have 4 phones the same from different carriers | May 18 10:25 |
| oiaohm | With different status of updates | May 18 10:25 |
| oiaohm | because the carriers have have screwed the update process up does need to be addressed. | May 18 10:25 |
| oiaohm | Some of the fragmenation issues are real ones that need solving. | May 18 10:26 |

| XFaCE | qu1j0t3: I really don't get this | May 18 19:41 |
| XFaCE | Why does the Microsoft front group love Canada so much? | May 18 19:41 |
| XFaCE | Especially considering how manufactured their statistics are | May 18 19:42 |
| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: because canadians have money too and they think they can get their hands on some. | May 18 19:43 |
| XFaCE | qu1j0t3: The BSA has praised Canada for *low* software "piracy" | May 18 19:44 |
| qu1j0t3 | right. | May 18 19:44 |
| XFaCE | The Maffia would do the opposite in order to encourage money-extracting laws | May 18 19:44 |
| XFaCE | Maybe Canada's current copyright laws favour the software companies more. :? | May 18 19:45 |
| *qu1j0t3 doesn't know. | May 18 19:45 | |
| qu1j0t3 | all i know is they want our money | May 18 19:45 |

| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: nobody has tied them to harper. | May 18 19:53 |

| XFaCE | qu1j0t3: I though you said they had | May 18 19:53 |
| qu1j0t3 | well, i haven't kept up lately, but all through last year's police stuff, nobody would point a finger any higher than RCMP | May 18 19:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | though it's clear to me that it was all orchestrated from on high | May 18 19:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | i can see why nobody wants to be the first to say it | May 18 19:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | he's set things up to make criticism that much harder | May 18 19:55 |
| qu1j0t3 | but one day somebody will line up the evidence | May 18 19:55 |
| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: e.g. the only way you can get such consistent brutality from cops is to hand pick the cops who were on the street and operated the detention centre. | May 18 19:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: and I am certain that's what was done. | May 18 19:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | XFaCE: they had at least 16,000 police ... they handpicked a few hundred known violent ones | May 18 19:56 |
