Selected Words of Wisdom
- Perfect is the enemy of good. Often 20% of the effort will produce 80% of the desired result (the Pareto Principle).
- The devil is in the details. Make a proof-of-concept to ensure that you haven't overlooked a detail that will derail your project.
- Hofstadter's Law: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.
- Capers Jones: High-quality software is not expensive. High-quality software is faster and cheaper to build and maintain than low-quality software, from initial development all the way through total cost of ownership.

MacBook Pro camera and microphone used by malware? Good idea. That should be the default sound setting. A cam cover should come as standard. The tape works but the downside is it makes you look paranoid. People think this is a non-issue but AFAIK many malware attacks have used mic/cam to collect sensitive information/spying. |

iOS 6 activation error on iPhone 3GS without SIM card Thanks. You're probably right, just wish Apple could have used a more comprehensible error message. I'll try to find a SIM from the carrier and update this question when I got news. Hopefully the device will unlock itself. |

iOS 6 activation error on iPhone 3GS without SIM card Maybe a SIM card is required for the upgrade not to crash the phone? |

iOS 6 activation error on iPhone 3GS without SIM card Thanks, but the phone is just stuck at an "Activation Error" screen so there is no way I can access settings. Seems I'll just have to leave the phone to a repair shop. |
