What is bad about iPhone?

It’s difficult to find something that I don’t like in iphone, and looks like the same happens with other people, the other day I saw an image comparing iphone to a Brick (image below), a joke of course.

I tried hard and time fixed this, I’ve identified something that I don’t like in iphone, it reflects light very easily, so it’s common to get it reflecting television light right in my face, or close to a window, if there is something to complain, that’s my two cents.

For or While?

Denio raised this question:

“What is faster, this while or this for?”

He wrote this in the blackboard:

        for (;;) {                
        }
        while (1) {
        }

The answer in assembly is:

For:

	.text
.globl _main
_main:
	pushl	%ebp
	movl	%esp, %ebp
	subl	$8, %esp
L2:
	jmp	L2
	.subsections_via_symbols

While:

	.text
.globl _main
_main:
	pushl	%ebp
	movl	%esp, %ebp
	subl	$8, %esp
L2:
	jmp	L2
	.subsections_via_symbols
