The interface is easy and simple to use.
I was trying to search for a .in domain and it is still looking for it after about a minute of hitting submit.
This makes me wonder how the majority of the people are even going to use it if it isn't immediately obvious how to activate it. I used this gigaom article to setup it up on my 3gs: http://gigaom.com/apple/ios-5-imessage/
It works pretty well and I can't wait for the mac version.
I dont think that will happen ...unless facebook's only interest is to make bucket loads of money. If China does end up buying stake in fb, fb risks loosing a lot of existing users.
> ...unless facebook's only interest is to make bucket loads of money
Aren't they a corporation? What other interest would they have?
And Facebook is probably going to lose quite a few users to Google+ anyway - I can't think of anyone who would eschew Google+ for Facebook, but then suddenly quit because China invested.
Not really. China will get non-voting stock. I'd pay money to see a Chinese representative trying to explain to Mark "I'm the CEO, bitch" Zukerberg why their minority non-voting stock means Facebook MUST follow Chinese laws OR ELSE.
They are trying every vector of influence. Maybe they're trying to work up to a board seat. That would give them strategic and operational insights that would help them monitor and censor. And, position them to co-opt any China entry under a "partnership".
Also: Many Chinese are accustomed to considerable collusion and shady dealings among partners. Simply publicizing a stake could make many Chinese leery of FB, and less likely to use it politically.
I was teaching one of my good friend C way back in undergrad(1999). After explaining him about loops among other stuff...i asked him to print something in loop. And this is what he wrote
For(i=1 to 10)
{then print i;
}
Today my friend is working as a techie ....senior mgr at his new company!
Look for a job in Sales and Trading. Bulge bracket banks love programmers and quant types for trading. It's hard to get an interview by just applying on a website, so you'll want to reach out into your network and see if you can get someone to pass your resume to HR.
