I'd say the S60 platform is hopelessly outdated. The phones look the same and are almost functionally the same as they were 4 years ago, just a little bit faster. Why is there no decent browser on any other phone than the iPhone? I think th

Perl was the first programming language I really loved to work in, but I wouldn't consider writing something new in it today. I feel 80% more productive in ruby, and the code I write in ruby is much more readable. One reason to choose Rails
