Lamest Argument In OS Wars: "Hackers Make Malware For Most Popular OS Only"

For years, I have heard that Mac and Linux do not get viruses because they are in minority. Windows is most popular target for hackers because it is most used. Do you agree? Well, you are wrong then. Windows has some 75-80% market share. (Source: Wikipedia) So, it must be a frequent target because it is used so widely. Wait, shift to mobile space now. iOS has about 30-40% market(Again, Wikipedia). Still, it has not been attacked with malwares. Worst news you hear about iOS is some bug. Why? Don’t hackers exist for iOS? ...

It All Comes Back

Whenever you learn something, there’s one thing you can be sure of: It’ll never go wasted. Steve Jobs’, in his famous Stanford Commencement Speech told how all the calligraphy he had learned in his college after dropping out(yes, he did learn after dropping out!) helped him out later when designing the user interface for Mac. I recently had a similar experience. I had learned SQL in 11th and 12th grade and at that time, I thought that it was of no use. However, now its all coming back. Many people are considering DBMS in this semester as most difficult or one of most difficult subjects but I am able to easily go through it! ...

Mechanics, Apple and Samsung

Just read Two Mechanics by David Masters. And remembered a discussion with my roommate about Apple and Samsung last night. Now that I’m owner of iPhone 4S, I can say a thing about design and functionality. When you use iPhone, it works beautifully. Everything is magical. And I love that. When it comes to Samsung and Google, I do not essentially hate them. But I do hate their bad designs and poor experience. ...

The Marketing Pattern, And How To Break It......

Over the years, I have noticed a pattern. And it has repeated year after year. I call it marketing pattern, at least in blogging! A new “authority figure” appears on a big blog or a bunch of blogs. They do lot of guest posts. They give “something” for free. A book, a free webinar or something similar. They start a course. Next month, they are nowhere to be seen around. They have gone back, not visible on radar anymore! Now, this cycle repeats year after year. ...
