In this case it seems unlikely but bear in mind that it's possible to be in possession of stolen goods without knowing they're stolen.

I'm not arguing with any of your points. I'm simply saying that the difference between 'sign up now' and 'contact us now' is huge for most developers. I don't want to discuss clauses and get approval, I want to type in my credit card and go

Just FYI, the lens used in each of the shots are different. The F1 shot uses a wider angled lens which makes the car look faster in the background of the shot. Having said that, the F1 car is still substantially faster especially through a

Not really, the car behind still needs to get in the one second window to have the advantage of DRS. They still need to tweak it so that passing isn't too easy but thats just a case of trial and error, they'll get it right eventually. If

Ok, I see that the original pre and pixi don't support WebOS 2.0, that's a real pity. From what I can see the WebOS 2.0/3.0 developer ecosystem looks a lot nicer (although it's probably not practical to drop 1.0 support yet), have you tried

I know absolutely zero about WebOS development so this is probably a very naive question. Isn't Node.JS available to WebOS, couldn't you use something like http.request()? http://nodejs.org/docs/v0.4.7/api/http.html#http.request

IE7 and IE8 can display 32bit (24bit for RGB + 8bit for alpha channel) PNGs fine by the way. IE6, of course, only supports alpha transparency on 8bit PNGs.
