I see your point, but they read a lot like come from when looking at code. And platform is not orthogonal: sometimes I need to know exactly what is using how many cpu cycles, and callbacks make it hard. Admittedly I mostly do embedded dev, but there's a reason why I have the only remote control / video app out there that still works on a HT G1 :)
