FYI, you don't need another device to do the comparison.

The Portrait Mode effect is a non-desctructive edit on an original RAW/JPG image, from my understanding.

You can use a VPN, or pay for a grey-market service like BallStreams.

This is definitely the pragmatic choice, and it's what I keep telling myself. Thanks for reverberating the message :)

If I may ask, how do you feel about your personal situation right now? Are you living in an expensive city?

Thanks again for the reply. It sounds like you've always maintained some level of financial independence, even at a young age, which is awesome.

Have you ever wanted to work on your own startups? It seems like you have some personal projects - why work a traditional career?

If you could do it all over again, would you do anything differently?

Hey thanks for your reply! How do you like being a T.O. startup founder?

I'm not 100% committed to buying a house, but I don't have any runway to start out with my personal projects full time. What I meant to say was that I would never want to be in a situation where I can't meet my financial obligations (rent as a part of a longer-term lease, or mortgage payments). I am doing my best to get out from under my student debt and build my runway/rainy day fund as quickly as possible.

Do you think that low salaries might also be a function of brain drain? There are a lot of tech workers in Canada on visas, and it might be because a lot of Canadians leave the country to work in SFBA, NYC, Seattle, etc.

Could you point me to any resources for information about starting companies in Ontario, and receiving grants? You seem like you've got quite a bit of know-how :)

Thanks for the reply. I'm saddened to hear about the tough job market you're facing, but I'm happy to hear about your garage hacking :) I personally wish you the best of luck. Your GitHub repo's are neat!

San Diego seems like a great city, with much nicer weather than Toronto - I've heard a lot of nice things about it. While the housing prices are equally high, it seems like tech salaries are much higher there, compared to Toronto.

I would like to one day be in your situation, but I feel like starting an independent adult life is harder than it used to be (mainly from accumulating student debt) for graduates in previous generations.

Do you think you could elaborate a little more about your early career?

Thanks so much!

Are you not confusing the typical PM acronym (project manager) with the Microsoft PM acronym (program manager)? Most of the PM's I know at Microsoft have product ownership roles.

Do you have experience with any frameworks? Use what you know :)

If you are a beginner, this will be a learning experience for you, pick something with good documentation.

Microsoft famously launched the Surface tabletop computer :)

I think the real use case here will be phone repairs:

Camera lens or screen cracked? Just swap in a new one.

Button dead or jammed? Just switch in a new one.

I also recommend Probabilistic Programming & Bayesian Methods for Hackers http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/minrk/Probabilistic-Progr...

Interesting, seems to be competing with the Palate Smart Grill http://palatehome.com/

Stronger was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 - it features a Daft Punk sample; they were even in the single's music video.

wouldn't a 2d printer be more appropriate for redistribution of a magazine?

>There needs to be an IQ and political education test before people can register to vote.

Would you care to expand upon this argument? What sort of test would you require, and how would such policy effect American democracy?

I'd have to agree with you that gesture interactions tend to feel more natural then typical button pressing (e.g. pinch-to-zoom), but can be a little awkward for first time users. A customer who stops by a mobile phone kiosk while walking through their local mall might not know how to handle a BB10 device without assistance from a sales associate. However, gestures often become second-nature, and users rarely find themselves asking "how do I do this again?"

Swipe-upwards to unlock/return to homescreen requires initial contact with the screen's bezel, which should mitigate the number of times this gesture is unnecessarily actuated.

I think it's a smart move, and would allow them to more effectively market their products/services on competing platforms. Now that BlackBerry does not necessarily mean a particular brand of smartphone, we can see BlackBerry for Android/iPhone/Windows Phone, etc.

I though the 48FPS version was only available in 3D?

This is in response to a gender discrimination lawsuit.

BB10 has the WebWorks platform for HTML5/CSS/JS ninjas and Cascades which makes writing with the Native SDK a breeze (coming from a current Android dev who is really considering the switch).

Every single one of these articles has provided no sources for these layoff figures. Sure, many of the C-Level's and SVP's have been leaving their Waterloo coop, but isn't it expected when the company has recently suffered under the current management? Surely RIM still needs it's employees to support BB7 (with devices still being launched globally [1]), while also building BB10 their next-gen OS.

Sure, their might be another round of layoffs. But almost half the company? Doubt it.

Have you considered displaying a collective feed of your networks' posts on the homepage?

I'm excited that they're addressing user complaints about 'content creation'. iPhoto looks particularly impressive; it looks like people will be using their tablet devices for more than just content consumption now.
