I’ve already spoken about one of the plays made by Apple and Tim Cook to damage Android. This was the push to 64-bit computing in the iPhone 5S. As that smartphone was announced, the roadmaps for Android devices did not have 64-bit computing planned in the near future. Manufacturers and component suppliers were bounced into making bold claims that they would join Apple in the 64-bit world.
They had no choice but to do this. Android’s success was built around the promise of being faster, better, and stronger than its rival OS. If Apple was 64-bit, Android had to be 64-bit as well. Promises were made, plans were changed, and the rush to 64-bit comp
The impact of that push remain to this day. Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 810 was the chipset expected to lead the charge, but production issues have forced manufacturers to delay products into Q3 2015, or choose alternative chips with the resulting compatibility problems of running third-party Android applications.
Apple weakened the chipsets in Android by forcing the manufacturers to follow them on the 64-bit roadmap. Resources, time, and developmental energies were directed away from competing directly with Apple and into something that has taken far longer than planned.

And sometimes we didn't even have the 1s.
Well, if you didn’t have Base 2, what did you call it? ... Base 1 ... LOL ... :-) ...
I'm sure they'll understand.
The mods see these things on their own and they act independly of anyone here ... just like they did with Begin.
That would explain why my account isn't banned.
They’re accumulating the evidence ... :-) ...
It’s like the drug busts the authorities do ... they watch for a year, and then the hammer comes down ... LOL ...
You’ve got the inside track on what the moderators are doing, eh? Do they know your spilling the beans to the public?
Well ... it’s not hard to figure out, if you just observe ... :-) ...
I can only imagine how much they must appreciate having your LOLing self as their spokeperson.
Customers who recognize the value of Apple products are going to champion them! Nothing could be more natural.
AND ... we can see from the AMAZING BUSINESS PROFITS that Apple has a whole lot of customers buying their products! That’s a success story for America’s free enterprise system!
Well, y’see, I can’t make a living without using a computer and the Adobe CC Suite, which means I either use Windows, which profits a gun-stealing thug who will try and make me register my guns or declare me to be a felon, or a homo guy that isn’t trying to steal my guns, and...who, coincidentally, makes the computer best suited to my workflow, (as it has been thus for over 20+ years!)
To me, the choice is clear...

As an aside, Tactical, what do you think of IBM’s partnering with Apple to bring Enterprise to the iPad?
I don’t have a dog in that fight, I’ve never owned an iPad and probably never will...
Ed
We still have our old PC jr.!

Hard to say. Are they running it on MicroChannel Architecture?
Platitudes to the rescue!
Nothing could be more natural than that ... :-) ...
iOS developers poised to win big in Apple-IBM deal
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2608448/application-development/ios-developers-poised-to-win-big-in-apple-ibm-deal.html
Mobile developers with knowledge of Objective-C and Apple’s fledgling Swift language could be the big winners in the company’s newly announced partnership with IBM.
That alliance has IBM firmly endorsing the iPad, with Big Blue reselling Apple’s popular tablet device preconfigured with enterprise apps for vertical industries. More iPads will end up at large IBM shops, opening up new markets for iOS application builders.
Some — but not all — iOS developers could have a major opportunity to earn lots of income in the enterprise space, said iOS application developer Christopher Allen, CTO of software developer ReOrientmedia.com. “Working at an enterprise level often requires ‘full stack’ skills, from UX to client engineering and on through to a scalable back end, which is the kind of experience the more indie app developers don’t have,” he noted. “Those teams that have this broader experience will do well.”
Apple’s Swift development language, introduced in early June, could get a big shot in the arm thanks to the partnership. “It certainly looks like IBM will be retraining a bunch of its consultants in Swift — that might push a few of its customers down that direction too — which would be a long-term win for Apple,” said Forrester analyst Jeffrey Hammond.
Allen, who has studied Swift, does not see the language as specifically geared toward business apps, although it does offer security benefits. Security of course, is a principal concern of enterprises. “There is nothing specific to Swift for business. It’s an alternative to Objective-C that is more ‘modern’ and thus can address some of the common errors a programmer can make while coding.”
Place your bets.
In context, that's probably true.
