1. How about those that bought an iPhone anywhere between when the AppStore was announced and when this crap started?* Do they get to "whine"? 2. Even if 1. is not the case, why not "whine"? Some might even end up calling it userbase reacti

Apple's stance on acceptance/rejection of these apps is getting more disgusting by the week. There are many ways to discuss this rationally, and many have been used already, here and elswere. But the first, straight from the gut, reaction i

Smalltalk - "pure" OO. I guess you would call it "OO-anal". Alan Kay - ACM Turing Award awardee (among other things). Fairly smart guy. Genius, some would call him. You would, I imagine, call him a "crazy kook". This is one of those rare in
