Ain't Android limiting you to Java only, while for iPhone you can develop in any language which can be compliled into ARM ELF object file and linked by ld ? Beside the UI part of course. I hate developing for iPhone too cause Obj-C is not a

I always wondered what makes ppl keep reinventing wheel in a weird manner like this NSTask. What was wrong with POSIX, i.e. execv() and friends ?

It's so frustrating when progress gets stuck against someone's greed. I think Google should make Android open source so everyone could commit their code to support features despite the will of Apple or mobile carriers. And this will also in

I guess the only reason why ppl think "iPhone is cool" is just because of slick multi-touch GUI, there's nothing else superior in iPhone per se. I have been programming for both platforms for quite a while and, you know, I find Android's Ja

Paying "protection" fees to Krysha (as you named it) was common in mid 90th when government was weak and criminals ruled Russia. Now criminals pay to gov if they don't want to follow Khadarkovsky/Ukos story (thank mr. Putin). I'm not in Mos

First, you should read on how XMPP works from http://www.xmpp.org . Second, no, you don't need an SSL certificate. You may choose how your XMPP server authenticates your own users and it's up to you do decide whether you want them to use T
