   I usually search the web for Android apps anyways. It's just faster than hunting through a store.

   Lemme go watch these on my iPad....oh wait...they're all flash... In all seriousness, his whole explanation on Flash is one I wish he had given originally. It's simple, makes sense, pragmatic, etc. Miles better than "thoughts on Flash".

   It's okay, after Android 2.2 gets pushed out, you can just use it as a wi-fi hotspot for your iPads.

    I thought this was a thread about a competitor to the iPad, no? Does nobody subscribe to capitalist market theory anymore these days? sigh There will soon be many competitors to the iPad. These competitors, unable to compete solely on fea

    Nice eye, I did not notice the furniture as much during the keynote. > but it's still a very solid 1.0 I absolutely agree. Considering the rubbish that was tablet computing before the iPad, this device comes from a completely different

    I borrowed a friend's for a week and really found that I was more frustrated with the limitations of the device, what I couldn't do (usually because of some arbitrary Apple policy than a technical one), than how enamored I was with how it c

    Most decent schools should teach CS as an applied math course. In fact most undergrad CS majors should graduate not too many credits shy from an undergrad Math degree (or at least a minor). The problem is that student demand isn't for CS. S

    The celebration of Tolkien has much to do with the way he summarized the rich traditional mythology of the English language and then wove a beautiful story into that fabric.

    'sombre trees like dark clouds on the hillside' Is amazingly evocative. I can see that clearly in my mind. It's perhaps no coincidence why so many people, after seeing the movies remarked at how similar the movies were to what they had im

    Japan's efforts in hi-tech have always been different than other places, transport engineering, robotics, electronics, etc. Basically "stuff" but not software. I think it could be successfully argued that Japan is miles ahead of the West in

    I'm not sure how the asking price for a share is substantially different than the concept of "value" I mentioned before. Both are fictitious concepts that have very little to do with the actual price something should have (I'll use the term

    Thanks again. Apologies if my terseness meant a loss in clarity. I thought the JVM was implicit in the thread and that you were listing languages with the JVM as targets (also my mistake as I see that you were not exclusively listing those,
