"This means that users no longer need to create triggers for routing data; it's all handled by the system. "


I hope so. It would be annoying to carry different chargers for all gear I carry.


Even if it's implemented, charging from laptops, etc. is very unlikely to be removed. And that means there will be software-only solution to authenticate. Which means the right code will be dumped... Just give it time.


Dude its Universal Serial Bus for a reason and this just defies this reason.


That the underlying bus is universal does not mean all device pairs must work (that already isn't the case).


Yes it means exactly that. Otherwise it fails as a user friendly connecting standard.


> Yes it means exactly that.

No, it does not now, and it never has at any point in the past.


> Universal Serial Bus

It's not Universal

It's not Serial

And it's not a Bus

Apparently Android is not using Java, but something that looks like Java. I bet Google vs. Oracle trial can be attributed to that. :)


Actually they use Java the language, except that the code doesn't run on JVM but on a different VM (Dalvik at this time). Dalvik supports Java 6 and parts from Java 7.


Dalvik is dead. Art is the new king


Maybe in the future, I doubt anyone, except Android developers, even knows about Art.

Art is still experimental and not enabled by default.


$7.99 on page and $12.29 on Amazon? Something changed or just Amazon hates Poland now?


Amazon pricing is crazy. I just told them to charge whatever was equivalent to 7.99 in other countries.


Because most of big and horrendeous systems are written in them. And maintaining such systems is a PITA.

And Ruby/Python are much more productive.


And Ruby/Python are much more productive

Languages themselves are not productive. You could make the argument that they allow developers to be more productive. Although a talented PHP developer with years of experience could be much more productive than a novice Ruby/Python developer.


What languages are you more productive with?


the one that you know better.


Change your job. If you can't, change jobs. - that worked so far good for me :)


I just wanted to say that. But game still looks nice.


This sounds like 'hide in a closet'


Not fan of TTD? I see your quick demise in this industry...


Is there really no viable alternative?
