Wow, you must really suck at navigating the internet. How many pop-ups did you click on that said you won $1000?

Haha it wasn't a virus from what I could tell. Actually, they cut off internet for that exam. Weren't allowed to access any "helpful websites"

Just throwing it back at you is all, I know shit about computers. Will say this, though, Nigerian bankers aren't quite as honest as they lead you to believe. Been fifteen years, haven't gotten a fucking dime.

LMAO! They're on POF too! I got a message from some "chick" who sent me a whole thing about how "she's in England right now taking care of her mother, and that her late father has an inheritance she'd like to share with me." I was so tempted to troll them back and maybe even get THEM to send me money hahaha. Oh well, I got shit to do, can't be bothered to deal with bullshit like that.

I noticed most people who aren't computer savvy (not that there's anything wrong with that, I'm sure you have other skills I don't) like Apple products more because they're easy to use and extremely closely controlled by Apple. So when someone makes an app for an Apple product, it goes through a rigorous testing process by Apple to make sure its "good enough" for the app store. While Windows and Linux allow for more flexibility by developers, which could lead to malicious software to be installed. And I guess someone who isn't aware could make the mistake of downloading something they think is legit just to find out its broken bullshit at best and malicious at worst.

I'm on a bunch of programming forums so its become second nature to bash Apple for me haha. I should start keeping my mouth shut about this shit outside of programming forums.
I have yet to tell someone they look like shit on a programming forum though... would be interesting to see what kind of response I'd get hahaha

You could insult me up and down tech-wise, and I wouldn't even know to be offended. It's an entirely foreign world to me, and I'm much too old to give a shit at this point.

Its all good, man. No need to explain yourself, this is a bodybuilding forum after all haha. Lets just make fun of each other on our lack of muscle and high level of bodyfat  ;D

My brother does cartography and runs some cartography society up here in Ontario and rips on me all the time about my lack of geographical knowledge. I, like you, sometimes don't even know if what he said is offensive or not hahaha

Zellers! The only time I ever bought anything at that overpriced shit store was when they were being bought out by Target and on the very last day they were open, everything was 80% off. I bought a pretty good stepper for $50  ;D

Edit: Target broke our fragile Canadian hearts  :'( They said "We love Canada" on all their construction signs, and then they just leave us without as much as a kiss goodbye.

Yep. Zellers sucked ass.

I'm in my "winter bulk"  ::)

AKA I have no willpower when I wear more than one layer of clothes outside. Getting dangerously close to the two plane seat purchasing stage myself.

Good riddance.
I just wish they replaced it with something. The mall in the town I used to work in, still doesn't have a decent walmart/target -style shop. And I refuse to shop at Sears or The Bay.

I just started seeing this girl I met online (I know I know, rip away lol). And she thinks I look like an Adonis! Even though this is about as fat as I'd like to get before I start my cut. I never get bad enough that my gut hangs over my belt or anything. But the love-handles and a bit of a muffintop start showing if I wear tight enough jeans.
I can't wait to see the look on her face when I shred down for summer again  ;D
Or maybe I shouldn't... can't let her get used to rippling abs and then go back to dough boy.

None of that is actually true.

I mean, I use my Mac specifically because I do a lot of python and shell scripting that Windows doesn't do.

People develop things for Windows because they are the largest install base and you make software for what will sell. That's why iPhone games are so prevalent. They are a huge install base and so you develop for them.

The PS3 was a bitch to develop for and people made a ton of games for them as well.

Don't get me started on PS3. Developing for that was damn near impossible. Unless you had a contract with Sony it was so hard to get ANYTHING to work on that thing. When XNA came out, it made developing for Xbox so easy! I wrote like 15 mini games in a span of 3 months just dicking around with XNA.

And I do think apple products are for people who are less tech savvy. They're hard to break because of stupid mistakes, but they also lock you down to using Apple software (not sure how it is now, but iTunes used to be required unless you jailbroke the phone/ipod). I used to own ipod touches. I didn't mean to say that developers or engineers don't use Apple products. I just think that Android is the preferred phone platform for people like us.
And to get an app up on the Apple app store you need it to go through Apple's testing process. They won't allow "subpar" products in their store. While the Blackberry or Windows app stores allowed almost any kind of bullshit to be uploaded. Especially Blackberry. Their paid apps were bad enough that they should have paid ME money to install them.


Edit: Have you ever used HAM to develop for GBA? LOOL that thing was actually pretty great, considering the guy who wrote it took out the hassle of dealing with whatever shit processor the GBA had installed in it.

Don't get me wrong, I do believe that Apple has made things a lot easier, but Microsoft did as well back in the windows 95 days and continue to do so.

Certainly Android is also a good platform to develop on as well, but when you are talking about consumer devices, ease of use is extremely important.

I don't even want to fuck around with my iPod (I will jailbreak my iPhone and iPads usually, but that's really just for 2 or 3 very specific apps that are just awesome)

I haven't used HAM. I do have a GBA dev kit floating around here though. Haven't had to use one in years. Maybe since 2007 or 8.

I'm not a game dev, but I think every dev has dicked around with game engines and SDKs. So my knowledge of game dev is a bit out dated.
I'm actually surprised there are a few guys on getbig who are techies/devs/IT guys. Makes me feel like we're not all just meatheads who lift things up and put them down for an hour a day :D

http://arstechnica.com/business/2015/10/apple-google-microsoft-hold-more-than-336b-overseas-via-legal-tax-loopholes/

If Apple didn’t hold $181B overseas, it would owe $59B in US taxes
"The effect on the average US taxpayer is that the US government is deprived of revenue."

Or....the government could just ease up and make easier for people to start small business, lower corporate tax, etc etc etc. Good for Apple. Btw Adam, feel free to write an extra check to Uncle Sam just because.
