Because the tech industry is what I'm passionate about. My lack of drive comes from things like lack of self-confidence and motivation.

I know I have the aptitude... drive would be my problem. I just find it difficult to actually want to work on something.
That's not really abnormal is it?...

Which is exactly why Google lost everyone's trust.

There's no 'if' about it. Everyone still is, and will be pissed at Google for quite a while.

Well, supposedly Firefox is immune to it. So why not just take from that?

It was more of a general complaint. I have a Kyocera Rise, and it's locked down pretty well. The fact that it's a fairly unpopular budget phone doesn't help.
The kernel was released... But I don't think I have the patience to try porting something myself.

Too bad my shit phone hasn't had CM ported to it, so I can't try it out.

Do you idiots not see the little "x" at the top right that closes the popup? Quit your whining and enjoy the article.

Everyone regards Carmen Ortiz as this heartless evil witch, and this post is more or less defending her.
I was expecting more of a response from the community over the course of almost an hour.

Then wouldn't that be the user's fault/problem?

The thing is that I've always been fascinated with technology and what it can do. I love working with it and I love making it work. As far as I'm concerned, making something useful in Java or putting together a computer is just as much fun as watching a movie or eating food.
My problem with drive is the whole "do what you're told" thing. I've tried doing things for a friend, but I often get bored in the middle of it because I'm just doing what I'm told, and it's not of any particular value or interest to me. Things that I don't think are just really cool or things that don't benefit me personally are harder to work on... and I don't think I'm the only one with this problem.
But anyways, thanks for the link, it's a good read and definitely something to think about either way.
