"El entorno tiene un formato "nativo", un formato "xml" y un formato especialmente creado para versionado. Los tres tienen soporte completo e, internamente, el equipo de desarrollo (el entorno se desarrolla en el mismo lenguaje) utiliza el especial de versionado. Para lo que no es recomendado el formato de control de versiones es para uso propio si no se usa un sistema de versionado, por simple incomodidad (ya que el IDE edita el proyecto como un conjunto, no edita los ficheros sueltos)" - eduo

"Small corrections: 1.-AAPL's market cap is 400 billion. Google's is 300 billion. Share price is irrelevant by itself, it's share price times the number of shares what matters (to begin with, it's more complicated than this, but this is a first step to understand it) 2.-Google "owns" a minuscule share of the smartphone market. Samsung and Apple share the lion's share of the smartphone market. I know you think you mean developing the operating system others use counts as "owning" their share but this makes no sense in a financial context, which is what we're talking about. Only google-branded phones own any kind of market share of the smartphone market (Android itself is installed in a large share of the smartphone OS market, and will go on like this until any manufacturer decided to move to another OS, which is as far from "owning" as you can be without being altogether absent)." - eduo

"Of course you know why it isn't: Because it requires a jailbroken iPad. I'm surprised this isn't really mentioned most of the time XBMC is brought up. It surely isn't in your comment and the one above. I'm not saying it's hard to jailbreak, I'm saying it's a huge entry barrier for most, and that explains why it's not as popular and common. As for subtitle sources, you'll usually see OpenSubtitles universally for three main reasons: 1.-It has a proper api with a hash-based search engine, which is far more accurate than name-based searches (it has a fallback name search, so it also solves that problem if it arises). 2.-It's universal: Has subtitles for everything (not just series or movies) and in all languages. Most of the others either focus on a type of video or on specific languages or even on specific releases. 3.-Has very large download limits compared to other others and allows multiple-file searches and downloads. So, while other sources are convenient, they're usually unused." - eduo

"El problema con un capítulo como "Creyentes" está en que YO he visto episodios de trama igual a esa mil veces. [...] me resulta poco innovador A colación: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmw... (esencialmente: Al ver el pionero de algún estilo suele parecer un pobre ejemplo del mismo por empezar de cero en vez de mejorar a los anteriores. El nombre viene de que Seinfeld, el pionero de la serie de comedia actual, parece simplón y formulaico hoy en día, pero es quien inventó la fórmula, que antes no existía) http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmw..." - eduo

"Yeah, yeah. But you didn't reply to what I said. Why hit the reply button at all? You just parrotted yourself again. You implied Linux is responsible in any degree for the success of TiVO. I said that, surely, the TiVO guys have some of the merit for the success of TiVO." - eduo

"Do you really need an explanation? Really? Since when buying technology is *not* part of creating a new endeavour? How can this be confusing? Google bought keyhole and sketchup to do Google Earth and 3D Flyovers, yet everyone agrees they created google earth and created the 3D buildings of their maps and theis 3D Flyovers. What are you going on about here? Is the hate so much that it beats logic and reasoning to the keyboard?" - eduo

""My previous examples where a display of my own ignorance in the subject, so I'll just google for other examples from other people and try again". Dude, you can cherry pick posts from every single year since Apple started (of course, for a good 20 years that'll mean wading through printed media and usenet, before the web was born) and find articles pretty much like what you keep pasting and sentences as generic as you've written yourself here and before. If you try you can find the same for almost every big technology company out there. Some of us have been dealing with your troll type since the 80s, and long ago saw through your misinformation and feelings of inequacy and various complexes and envy sublimed into hate. We can argue back, mainly because it's fun, but you really think anyone, anywhere, will read your badly-written comments and generic-sounding slandering and constant quoting from random google results that also have opinion and speculation and say "Gee. Maybe he's..." - eduo

"So, what you've found to nitpick is that the people that don't use mac may be 95% instead of 90% or that Apple's smartphone market may be larger or smaller than 50%? Really? Because the point is that Mac didn't have trouble surviviing then it was 1% and Linux has never been even 2% and it's also strong. Even more so, my argument is that they have a large enough market share to not be affected by the existence of Apple. So your counterpoint is that they have even MORE market share than that. You're refuting your original argument yourself right there, buddy." - eduo

"So, then, you'll trade your increased productivity in the hopes a future product, that by definition can't be the one you choose if you trade now, will close that gap then?" - eduo

"Indeed. Microsoft settled a score (essentially admitting guilt) and supported a competitor (getting the anti-trust guys off their backs) in one swoop. Well worth the millions in non-voting stock they got back for it. The non-voting part of that stock is precisely what makes this deal clear." - eduo

"You clearly missed the point of the comment, even with the blatant reference to Sculley right there. It's common knowledge that when Jobs re-joined Apple it was three months away from bankrupcy. Trying to use this as an argument of anything other than you've missed the point that is common knowledge is yet another nail in that troll sign being hung above your head. Even so, playing along, I find it amusing that we keep bringing up a financial detail from twelve years ago when part of the point of the larger theme is how misunderstood it is that Apple has been able to not only completely recover and turn around, but to become one of the biggest, most envied admired companies in the world." - eduo

"Cringeworthy, indeed." - eduo

"So what you're saying is that AK wants Apple, the company that "knows what people want", gone, so he can get better support for his platform, which is better for him and everybody, because AK knows "what people want"? How about we assume the daring concept that people get what they want, even if they could get something better than they don't prefer, and let the market play it out? I'm surre people that don't share the market direction will still be able to survive. Look how well we mac users survived a world where we were 1% of the market share, I imagine the current 90% that don't use mac and 50% that don't use iOS can learn to live in such squalor." - eduo

"You surely will put some of the merit of TiVO on the TiVO guys, I expect." - eduo

"Dude. You take trolling to a whole new level. There's so much disinformation there's nowhere to begin. OS X Dock is based on NeXT Dock. Cairo Dock was made *explicitly* by Fabounet to mimic OS X Dock. WebKit is an Apple name. It's a 2005 GNU project based on khtml (from KDE) from Apple. Apple included Open Source in its OS X, just as every Unix does out there. It also based a lot of its technology on open standard which can't possibly be called "stealing" under any rational eye. Apple does own some open source projects (like CUPS, widely used in Linux on which you're "long", as well as the aforementioned WebKit which you seem to think is not from them). Most of your drivel has the ring os conspiracy theorists, most of your supposed facts are wrong, you call others "fanbois" when you're ranting that some Linux version is better than anything in the world just like that. And then you go an say the problem is "cheap labor", dismissing in a swoop what the absolute majority of the industry..." - eduo

"Apple never claimed to have invented the GUI, Apple did inspire itself in the Xerox Alto/Star (something they've never denied, either) as a result of the visit they paid to Xerox after Xerox's insistence (and after a "fee" in stock that would be worth a cool half-billing today). Nobody has ever "licensed" the GUI from Xerox. Others have also inspired themselves on it but Apple's complaints were always that others were copying their implementation, not Xerox's. As for "reinventing the telephone" you mention it had already been done. Regardless of whether I'd agree with your example the point with "reinventing" is that it can happen several times. In this case it's unrelated to whatever fantasy you want to build about copying or not since the context of "reinvention" is having made the smartphone a popular and major platform instead of the niche market it used to be before the iPhone. Microsoft reinvented computing with Windows for the masses, even if they copied it from others. Both..." - eduo

"This keeps coming up yet there are reasons on why Apple doesn't change its policy nor is it ever given any more than a ding to change some wording. Apple's copy may be misleading but Apple's warranty itself doesn't break any laws. Apple doesn't break any laws (the reason it keeps being sued for something and ends up being fined for something different). People in general (consumer groups inclusive) don't understand the bizarre European laws, which get oversimplified always as "electronics get two years warranty", a phrase that ignores subtleties in said law which take into account who sold the electronic, who manufactured it and what exactly means "warranty-covered failure". European law states that the seller has to provide the first six months of warranty support, which is usually extended to one year in major outlets. In these cases the product is simply taken and exchanged for a new one (either immediately or after a round-trip to the manufacturer). In this first tier the expert..." - eduo

"Or, perhaps, they just make good stuff and that works as good as marketing. I know I didn't learn about Apple thanks to adverts but through using one at school and comparing it to the alternatives. A lot of people I know learned about Apple through almost fortituous means, back when Apple wasn't the behemoth it's today. It didn't spend a lot of marketing then either, yet the brand has consistently been known for quality for decades. Samsung took a lead through marketing, something common and entirely possible. Apple's position is not directly related to marketing because they don't need to be. Its users, regardless of our opinion of them or if we think they're right, believe their products to be superior and both stay as customers and transmit this preference to friends and family." - eduo

"Wouldn't have helped, as there's no app for them and there's no way to know if there's an app for the game if it'll be issued by then. But it's clear whose apps are scams, and those are listed, don't ya think?" - eduo

"The complaint was about the choice of tone and wording, not about complaining. A position I also share. Complaining is not unprofessional, calling others Assholes you're pissed off at is." - eduo

"So this is essentially a caddy for SIM cards? This would acknowledge that your SIM card is now your personal internet and you may want to move it around to where it can be used best in each environment, but ignores that the reason SIM cards have become unmanageably small is that phones (and the iPhone is first in line here) have required it. A caddy that once again enlarges the SIM seems to be a step backwards in that direction (although it would be great if we move the SIM away from the phones and into mini router/modem boxes we can carry in the keychain or similar. As then any device from you can pair with that to use as its connection. Be it a phone, a computer, a car, etc." - eduo

"This is what the situation is currently, and that is precisely the reason there's these user agreement changes and clauses. You're confusing the fact that when charged for a service you're (or should be) providing the main means for supporting that service with that payment being a protection of some sort. In all cases the usage agreements and contracts will dictate how the data is used, but the case being stated is that by paying you're already reducing the needs to share your data. In no case is the data shared without your consent. On the contrary, in all cases there's a consent included in the agreement you "agree" on, without which you simply can't use the service. If you pay for it, the service just may not need to sell your stuff as well. They might still need to serve you ads or charge you more for that as well." - eduo

"You beat me to the comment. By not upgrading to iOS 6, if public transportation is a priority, one is actually settling with lesser alternatives. Although considering Sacha implies not having Google's public transportation (as half-assed as it was pre-iOS 6) was the dealbreaker, I assume none of the already-existing alternatives to Google's Public Transportation directions as displayed in iOS 5 suits him better. I personally thank heartily that the maps application allows you to "jump" to any other maps/navigation/directions application in one click. Something iOS 5 never did (and Android still doesn't do, to my knowledge)." - eduo

"The grand irony here is that Once Upon a Time is based on the fairy tales where so many of the ingrained "damsel in distress" and "prince charming comes to the rescue" stories start. So not only does it present women as strong characters but does so while subverting one of the core sources of what it fights agains." - eduo

"De hecho "truco" sería la parte "trick" de "tips & tricks". No sería realmente una mala traducción de "tip" sino, tal vez, un uso poco común de "trick". Yo habría usado "trivia", que no es ambiguo, pero es cierto que se ha vuelto ya común (y por lo tanto válido, que así se mide el lenguaje) poner "truco" para notas indirectamente relacionadas con el tema en cuestión que ahondan en una tangente del mismo." - eduo
