If Apple were ever to release a tablet they would probably do so when it makes strategic sense. The iPhone is still a work in progress. Copy and paste was just added and the app store is still being refined. When iPhone sales start to cur

Static analysis has been available outside of Xcode for some time now. Clang is a great tool. http://www.mikeash.com/?page=pyblog/friday-qa-2009-03-06-usi... I haven't tried valgrind yet but there is a little buzz about it. http://www.mi

I think that is an oversimplification. Everyone has biases, some people may actually feel more comfortable with a gruff no nonsense doctor. It is a VC's job to assess whether they want to work with a team. In the end the VC has to work wit

Does anyone else find it amusing that the screen shot provided is on Parallels for the Macintosh? It would be easy to use an image editor to crop out the fact that it was being tested in a virtual machine.

Yeah, I'm fully aware of that, but p-a-semi conductor is for mobile chips. I don't discount that Apple will be making chips for it's mobile iPhone platform to replace the ARM processors but stating that Apple is going to break away from In
