It's a good point, and I've thought about that one too and the only thing I know for certain out of all of this is that people won't pay 500 bucks for a tablet computer unless it has an Apple logo on the front. The new Amazon 7" tab for ex

In my opinion, they are creating a market for webOS with the Touchpad as a loss leader. What they intend to do with that market is anyone's guess, but if you think about it: it will be much easier for them to get other hardware makers and

But he is using the APC cache, which is part of PHP, so I'm not sure he could pull that off? PHP-FPM is the fastest way he could be using that interpreter anyhow, as it maintains a persistent bank of PHP instances in-memory, with nginx act
