If offering user choice is a bad idea, why is Android doing so well? I believe they're out-gunning apple in market-share now, and there are tons of Android phones to choose between.

Why do people think Microsoft has the ability to "inject" their man as CEO into another company? Nokia's board would have chosen and appointed him with full knowledge of his MS past, probably for the sole purpose of getting the deal done wi

There are already WP7 phones with keyboards, so I don't see why Nokia won't make some

Your views on WP7 apps are a bit off, there is a huge pool of C# devs who are eager to get into a viable app-market. The WP7 tools are free and have been downloaded 2 million times (according to MS). The app store is growing well, and there

Teleconferencing and airlines solve a common problem, but what common problem do Azure and Silverlight share? They've got basically nothing to do with each other, except for as you say, that they're marketed at developers (?)

Er,its liking comparing Flash with Amazon EC2, I'm sure you're thinking that Azure is something else

I'm probably being unfair, I've never actually done any development in Objective-C (I have in C++), so I'm going on how it "looks" from the code I've seen, I just find it very unreadable. But in fairness I haven't tried to get into it, and

I did not know that :) So if you can use C++ on iOS, why the hell are people using the horror that is Objective-C?

I thought neither iOS or Android use C++?

Keep in mind it's going to be while until the first Nokia WP7 phones are released, so 1Ghz will probably be pretty standard by then

I went to the HN meetup last night, and I'm in full-time employment with no start-up experience; just some ambitions to do something in the future. I go along for a little inspiration and to talk to other developers - do people object to fo

Good luck guys, eager to see a SA startup make it big (well post Thawte at least)

I think a company will try keep their environment the same, so if they're a ruby shop and everyones on Macs, then it makes sense to keep it that way. If you're a big enterprise shop doing .Net and everyone is on Windows, they're going to ke

Eh, tech snobbery, hate it. Wouldn't want to work for someone so closed minded.
