Isamu

You asked about letters of rec?

As I recall 3 are required. Here is how I would do it

1. Highest officer you worked for that knows you. O6 group/wing commander Minimum.
2. chief master sergeant perferred command chief master sergeant
3. Polical or civic leader that knows you personally.

Key is that these boards know the differences when the recommender writes from personal knowledge or not.

Your wife doesn't know what phone you wanted? Droid does.

We are stuck with iPhone right now, but I think windows 8 will be the thing of the future. Once I can buy an app on my computer and use it on my comp/phone/tablet. I will go with that company.

I think Windows 8 will make a good setup all together too since it goes with the OS in the computer.

However, they need apps.... desperately....

Lemers 01-08-2013 06:04 PM

Give the apps time. I think full blown software is going away and will be replaced by apps.

How to have more developers to develop apps for Windows Mobile is challenging, since many are comfortable with android and ios.

I like the idea of having my phone running the same OS as my desktop/laptop.

Lemers 01-08-2013 06:26 PM

Every Windows 8 computer can use apps so as the world switches to windows 8 more and more apps will be availible.

This is a future I can look forward to, I pine for the day I can tell Steve jobs to shove iTunes up his ***.

Windows 8 is balls.

My head hurts reading this.

:icon14:


apps = software

And there's a huge number of apps available for pc's and any other device already.

Lemers 01-09-2013 12:09 PM

Yes apps = software

But there is windows 8 and Windows RT

Windows RT = apps store only

Windows 8 = apps store and off the self software

What I'm saying is that off the self software will transition to apps store only except in very large powerful products.

I will categorize like this:

Programs for phone = apps

Programs for computer = softwares


:icon17:

Lemers 01-09-2013 12:54 PM

The problem with that is Windows 8 on a computer will run programs from the App Store and programs off the self from best buy.

That's why windows not having enough "apps" will change.

Davey 01-09-2013 05:12 PM

Anybody know where I can get a wireless mouse for my Windows 8 phone?

Nah, I'm kidding, I don't have one of those.

It doesn't matter, it's the same thing with different restrictions and firmware/hardware considerations.

Apps is short for applications, which mainly refers to user-controlled software. The three terms are interchangeable.

Marketing has told people that apps are different and special.

Lemers 01-09-2013 06:07 PM

Shado as much as I love you man (in a bro sort of way). You a getting hung up on "apps is software".

The difference is that apps are only available in the apps store for what ever device in question. iPhone/iPad has iTunes , windows now has an apps store.

When I as a customer ask "what the difference in windows RT and windows 8?" the answer is the RT only runs apps and windows 8 runs apps and software.

I believe the average person understands that apps are software, but windows RT only will run it if it came from its "app store" while windows 8 will run if from the App Store and the box off the self from the store.

My point was though I believe that as people buy more and more from the apps stores less software will be made for purchase in the store til one day OSes in the future will only run apps from the App Store.

six of one, half dozen of the other.

It's all marketing and packaging.

It's nothing great or new.

It's simply brain-splitting to read someone say something as inane as "apps are better than software". It's like saying "Eggs are better than eggs."

I don't care about what service sells what. Are they pushing for more licensed and controlled software? Yes. That's what we're really talking about with "apps" on an "app store". The rest is jargon and window dressing, "bruh"

I use "apps" on phone's program and "software" on computer's program so I know we are talking about phones or computer.... :icon17:

After all, apps and software are all "program"...

shadoquad 01-10-2013 08:06 AM

All I can say is :facepalm:

shadoquad 01-10-2013 08:33 AM

Allow me to be clear.

"apps" are applications. These are user programs. These are all software.

"programs" are all software, they include apps as a subset. Other programs include drivers and scripts that your average joe doesn't ever interact with, as well as Operating Systems.

"software" refers to non-hardware. Hardware being the physical device, software is anything that tells hardware what to do.

"software" roughly equates to "programs". "apps" are a subset of "software" and "programs" All apps are by definition software. App stores sell software. Off-the-shelf software are also usually apps, because they are user-facing programs.

In other words, you guys remind me of the old lady from the Android commercials. "Is this the line for the apps?" Yes, mom.

Gosh... I know the difference....

I said I just say I use "apps" for phone-software and "programs" for computer software thus it's easier to know we are talking about phone or computer..!!

Just like snow-tires and summer-tires, they are tires... just for different types of purpose....

:Iagree:

And the point I was making before we were so derailed was that in the future when you buy a device (phone, tablet, computer, toaster) the only way you will get software is from its specific App Store not best buy, Office Depot, or even amazon.com.

I still won't cede to the retarded trend in terminology, but you can already largely get software without walking into a store. The direction of industry toward content control in self-governed stores is a bad one for consumers. I fear you may be right about it.

Windows 8 is a disaster of an OS from an interface point of view, imo

Thankfully there are older windows distros and many flavors of linux, so I don't need that crap.

Since the years of having broadband internet most of the program can be download from the website and purchase on line in order to obtain the activation code.

So it's not surprised that hard-copy of software will disappear in the future.

I've tried my friend's Windows 8, don't know what's the point of have those "squares" running around in the foreground.

Maybe it's more suitable to touch screen tablet.
