But the emphasis on rival OSes, making Windows seem second fiddle, will be temporary, say analysts. "These children that you spit on as they try to change their worlds are immune to your consultations"

According to the author, it's temporary in the sense that roughly a year to a year and a half later we will get the same features on Windows 10 and the new touch Office that are available for iPad NOW. He then goes on to quote that "This also means that Windows platforms are likely evolving more slowly anyway."
So then how is that "temporary"? In the 12-18 months until you get a comparable Windows version of an existing iOS release, if Windows now evolve slower, when does the catch up occur?

You call that a cloud? I do not think that word means what you think it means. Cloud-ish?

Hmmm... Only the 5.0 (Lollipop) platform supported though? That's what it looks like.
Well, more to download and fill up my hard drive so that is all good.
Hopefully it's terabytes at least.

I'm pretty sure that's not the case, was messing around with this the other day (but not this version, the one before) and was able to target any version of Android.
They make it clear that the older the version the more users can use your stuff, but the less features framework-wise you will have access to, and show you a percentage based on the selected version.

That's good news. I will try it soon.

For one week, Code.org's Hour of Code event will offer one-hour tutorials on the basics of computer science. In my day, it took us a full 21 days to learn how to code

If you're a programmer, please don't denigrate what a beginner is currently learning ... unless you're willing to personally invest the enormous amount of time to ensure that they learn what you want them to learn. We all started somewhere
Yes, it's a month old, but new to me.

The only thing I tell our beginners is 'run'!
(If he does not I give him an assignment so complicated that will keep him occupied for 2-3 months - after that he is not a beginner anymore )
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

The one I have a hard time holding back is
some are not made for it
It's an instinctive reaction when seeing them struggle with the underlying mindset, when they copy by rote without apparent understanding.
But I should know it's pretty elitist (in a bad way) and who knows how my first steps and exploits have looked.

Not that hard. Apple sells stuff.
Zuck sells people, that's how he makes money. And he should look in the mirror and admit it.

I agree with Tim Cook on this, hard not too. It's an individuals choice whether to use a free service, based on how they feel their data will be used/abused.
However, Apple's trading practices are worse - instead of making money by advertising, they do all they can to ensure their customers are locked into the Apple ecosystem. Ensuring Apple devices require more Apple devices to interoperate. This should be illegal.
