I wouldn't say sproutcore specializes in pushing data to the client, it really is a 'full stack' client side framework. That said, this is one thing that sproutcore does do quite well, the interface for hooking up to JSON datasources is ver

Was anyone able to glean Google's plans for the huge volumes of heated sea water 'waste'? I sure hope they're not planning on just pumping it back into the Baltic - warming of the world's oceans and seas is a very serious problem (see http

That's true, I shouldn't mix up the two - the real complaint is about the tooling, but it's in refactoring tasks that I really feel it. For example, say I want to rename a class: If I'm in java/eclipse I can command-option-R, type the name,

Most of it is Apple: Mobile Me is all based on Sproutcore. Otherwise, Mozilla Skywriter ( http://mozillalabs.com/skywriter/ , previously Bespin) is also sproutcore based.

Sure. I'm 4 months in of fulltime work on a Sproutcore-based app that is the basis of our startup - we haven't yet launched so I can't point you to it yet unfortunately but I can give you my experiences. In a nutshell: pros: friendly and he

Tablets, likely, laptops very unlikely - neither Windows or OSX run on ARM (which together make up over 98% of laptop OS market share http://gorumors.com/crunchies/operating-system-market-share/ ). I suppose Windows 8 and OSX 10.7 could be

SCM preference is very much a religious debate, and I don't really want to start one... but my instinct would be to say the interface is a lot more intuitive than git. Also, it's what I know. I worked on Mercurial as part of a school-sponse

Fantastic. Though what Mercurial needs even more than Matt's full time attention is a really good forge. Bitbucket just really doesn't hold a candle to Github (and codeplex is pretty unattractive for anyone not a microsoft dev). It's a genu

People like to bash Java because it can take it. It's the status quo, the most popular programming language in the world (see: http://www.tiobe.com/index.php/content/paperinfo/tpci/index.... ). That's what innovation is all about - surpass

I don't know what I was expecting (C I guess), but upon opening the project it blew me away that it was written entirely in assembly by hand.

He really did that all without a search engine or looking at any API docs?? Maybe it's just cause I'm not a games programmer, but that's insane. How does he know what he's programming to?

No. (having lived in China for multiple years) Pretty much all the political issues the West thinks of WRT China are not even given a cursory thought by most Chinese. China just isn't very political. Taiwan is basically a non-issue. Tibet i

Nice rebound Bootup, great to hear. Also good news for Vancouver tech and Canadian cloud hosting (which is in its infancy to say the least).

(tablet computers) are "insanely old and never took off". Same could of been said about mp3 players in 2001. Apple's pretty good at taking old good ideas that never took off because of poor execution and doing them right.
