No, its not. Its even more relevant for Javascript, because creating a dom node is way more expensive, thsn just altering it.

Qooxdoo, my favorite opensource RIA tool, has virtual lists and grids as core building blocks in both the desktop and mobile variants. However, i would not be surprised to find out, that they emulate their own scroll containers. But it is i

On your mac, Chrome is a browser with its own render engine, and javascript engine. Thats not the case on iOS. So, the only reaon to use Chrome on iOS, is because you like the interface better. If not, why keep it installed?

Sort of yes. For many games its not the funding, but the exposure a kickstart campaign gives.

Apple are currently using slide-to-unlock to block certain products from selling. Did you ever expect that to stand? I think we should be assume the worst now..

But thats not the biggest reason Holland is a bad place for a startup. Its our mentality. Americans are in favour of a person being extraordinary, the dutch are not. We cherish "acting normal". One of the most used expressions is "act norma

Whats the natural resources curse? -- all right, ive read it I think the final paragraph gets it right: gov pending was at an all time high in that decade. And it sounds like, most of the supposed risks no longer apply, because of the Euro.

Well, everything from any of the previous empires, for starters. I dont mean to suggest Europe has little culture, but unlike the states, it also has a lot of dead culture. Culture that may still inform our identity, and of which relics and

Yeah. How can the US be exporting more culture than any other country, yet, have less of it? Something doesnt add up. There is lots of influencal US culture. From rap to mcdonalds. We may look down upon it now, but all of tat will age into

Ah, you learned a little french! Good. Have you read or listened to, for example Brel?

But thats not what shapes our culture. To understand a country you have to see how it handles its debates, how it reports its news. Here's a reasonable question: were you able to notice the quality of the poltical debate? Its nothing specia

Not really. You can talk in English with any dutch citizen, but without being able to read our books, watch our tv, hear us talk, you dont really get a clue. What you get is a not a first hand view, but a 2nd hand view, from the worst obser

As a dutch citizen the idea that you would rank the states above and beyond our nation is offensive and idiotic. What on earth would make you qualify the situation like that?

by ralfn 14y ago
No, its not. From history, to language, to culture, one would claim Europe the center. But if you look at population, production volume, China would look like the center, with the rest of the world as fringe exotic life on its borders.

Yes, so Google has the best infrastructure. But thats not motivating them to very inclusive with dutch consumers. Lets hope that changes.

How is Apple not an offensive party? Has Apple not sued Android based device makers before feb 2012? Is Google/Motorola suing any party that has not first sued them or any of their partners for doing bussiness with Google?

Well, not all of Europe. It really depends on how much IP they have. So, holland, my country, is likely in favor of IP because with our current portfolio, the export of IP minus the import, is profitable. This is not the case for any easte

Loan shark. Fair enough. Although i do want to emphasize that only offensive parties are being hit with the frand patents. I really do think thats the most relevant moral ground here.

If its better, the question becomes: does Google release it on iOS as well, and will Apple allow them too. However, i think the US readers are missing the most important aspect: how many people in the world can you serve? This is a system s

It is generally acknowledged that Apple is at the offense. Google hasnt used IP laws in any way other than defensive. Microsoft strategy is more interesting: they dont block products but rather use liscense fees that are slightly less than

In other worss: the justice system is no longer a monopoly of the state on violence. But a for hire entity, where the highest bidder can buy their preferred form of "justice" This is not a good development, and we can wonder how long it wil

This is nonsense. Even when all products are allowed on the market we generally do not get the features we desire. Its the paradox of choice, and how it makes people unhappy. If a shop sells peanut butter that is chunky, but also another br

The european regulations are cheap compared to the legal risks of operating in the states. So, thats not it. Exchange rate? You keep assuming prices are based on costs. They are not. They are based on profit. So, when the population in a co

People arent using trademarks, they are using software. And the same is slso true for FF. The open source one is called iceweasel, because the logo and name of Firefox are protected. A compiled chromium source is identical to Google Chrone,

Good stuff, just one remark: >technology will change what it means to live in the 3rd world There is no 3rd world. Its 2012, not 1930. Income gaps are becoming localised, rather than globalized. I understand your point, but i just hate

Well, they just fix the error by replacing the offending code with code that emits a run-time type error.
