in the near future, you should be able to use the mozilla marketplace on android devices. apps there should (mostly) work on android (and even ios).

i'm sure you have all your intermediate steps as well. i really liked an example i've seen a while ago that described an optimization process in git history. you'd simply check out the right step and have a look for yourself.

not that i agree with the top comment, but your reasoning only works for a static view of people (i.e. they cannot learn something and at the same time forget something).

well, if you want server-type apps you will have to port them too... most run on posix.

although in many ways inferior to X, that is just a hint on what has been possible with nextstep's services: (afair: mime-)typed scriptlets that you could select from the gui. so all these were really integrated. sadly no contemporary ui le
