Have we gone soft?

Is that short for an apple?

 

No @shiney its short for a self-contained program or piece of software designed to fulfil a particular purpose; an application, especially as downloaded by a user to a mobile device.

But an app is not just any old software program — it’s a special type of software program.

An app typically refers to software used on a smartphone or mobile device such as the Android, iPhone, BlackBerry or iPad, as in “mobile app” or “iphone app.”

But the phrase “Web app” or “online app” is also used in a business setting as an abbreviation for “Web application” or “online application” — meaning software that you access and use while online, via a browser, instead of software residing on your computer (such as Microsoft Word).

We could get more esoteric, as this definition, preferring to think of an app (at least in the sense of an app used on a mobile device) as being a “shortened” or narrow software application, that perhaps does just one function or that provides a small bit of entertainment. While that definition holds some appeal when referring to mobile devices, it doesn’t really address the word “app” when used in the sense of an online software service.

Ain't got none of them!

Used to have someone working for me that did that. They were useless so I sacked them!

 

Good afternoon

Softness is our strength

 

Brutality/The state or quality of being ruthless,cruel,harsh,or unrelenting.


Good evening the softness I am talking about is made up of compassion,understanding,kindness,non judgemental of others around us,and truly believing that we are all equal,being able to listen instead of talking ,not walking past when someone needs your help.making allowances for the people around you and yourself,it is so far removed from brutality as the other side of the galaxy is from Earth

 

A brilliant summing up of the way we should all be living our lives.

 

I have known a number of people that trained in martial arts and a proportion of those have done so because they wanted to be able to 'wade in' during a scrap. Although I disapprove of that attitude I must say it came in handy when one of those people waded in when we were in a disturbance in a pub in the Cape Town docks in 1962. He saved one of our shipmates from being seriously injured but I think that a person proficient in martial arts and not having that attitude may have done the same.

I only ever learnt non-combative Tai Chi.
