Sophisticated != good, necessarily. I trust solid-state electronics (or whatever those old tracking systems are using) as long as our military does. What I would be more worried about is components deteriorating. However, I'll take an older

But the U.S. can't do that forever without inflation, because they either have to cut spending (which wouldn't happen due to fears it might affect unemployment and the economy), raise taxes (same deal, and is even more of a political mess),

How about Obj-C that eliminates all of the memory alloc/dealloc and runs in the JVM? ;) Ok, that sounds just awful as I doubt much would port well. But, it doesn't seem to make any sense to reinvent the wheel. Recent JVMs handle garbage col

I think they learned that giving away reviews was giving away free content, and wasn't helping drive more people to the Amazon site. Can't say that I blame them for pulling the plug on that.

I love the fact that Android apps are supported in Google TV, and it makes me a lot more excited about Android development, especially game possibilities. But, how will Android apps that rely on gestures (swipes, pinches) work?
