In 1980s ibm has studied and said why sub-second response needed to maintain the mental flow. That time you send a whole screen unlike unix like character by character. This proves very true even when you deal with form processing. I think that we are dealing with the same issue here.

Keep your mental context in your brain is critical

Not all. But some may. And in case you were shut down someone else can continue and one day it may be resurfaced perhaps even in USA.

Because not everyone can read the source. Hence might be better to say let us have better summary or take, not just post to the source guy.

Not hobby. Taking photo is always key to life for many.

Before phone for major event like graduation, wedding and baby birth people do buy one camera with one lens for the occasion and keep it as a family heirloom like. And even students gala and performances. Whilst a lot of point and shot, slr and later dslr are common. The key it is not a hobby to them but a life even to record.

Unlike people like us canon and nikon found it hard to sell the second lens or even second body.

Olympus is one of the few camera (I literally have hundreds as this is my side hobby) I love to use. Until every time I want to change anything. As a guy who can do 8x10, gfx, 907x, z9 etc I still find the menu system totally confusing.

It is not the hardware, it is the software …

Let us say Star Wars. Until someone has a daughter and suddenly found out there is no nothing between them and then he should we say now we have one then very annoying girl Jedi forced onto the team.

Sorry being IT guy I wondered about the logic. I understand the need to align. But if one fail all fail and children like customers … not the patient kind? Or you have two system within each … then across the …. Sorry cannot stop my mind spinning.

I believe incompetence is the key. When someone cannot compete (or the office does not use yardstick that can be measurable) politics is the only way to get you up.

Switch to what Nobel prize to man instead of the woman who do the work … sometimes. Take the credit and get the promotion.

If there is a monopoly, anyone should be afraid. Even if it is government. That is why you have democracy.

Second source … is one of the example of a major strategy against this.
