I'm having a hard time believing the app affordability argument 'cos iOS apps require iOS devices to run them, which aren't by any means cheap in these countries. I'm guessing these were downloaded using a scripted iTune

General note to OP and others relying on MDN - if you do spot errors, please remember that it is a Wiki. You can just hit the "edit" button and fix it yourself .. and you'll be helping a ton of others along the way.

Thanks for responding. By "ui front end at the back end", I was referring to the OP's suggestion to use nodejs as the entry point which the talks to the "real" back end. I'm interested in real time collaboratio

Google's NaCl set out to solve this same problem (pretty much), but I'm beginning to think Grun's Arc might completely shadow Google's work here for many reasons, not the least of which is total flexibility of developmen

I did not comment on the implementation. I said, in effect, that an animation would affect the perception of the start/stop times and using one would therefore be a bad idea in this case .

Can you please clarify with some references where you got that from .. and whether that trend you mention is not because the revenues on iOS are also going down?
