jwz posted recently that someone loaned him a key so he could test his own app (daliclock) on his phone. So, I'm guessing no.

One thing: The 2^28-1 size limit on integers in emacs lisp also impacts max file size. You can't load a file larger than 256MB on a 32-bit version of emacs. However, a 64-bit emacs will support larger integers and file sizes.

You're wrong: every decent product is a platform. Photoshop and GIMP have plugins developed on top of them, and professional designers are very much reliant on "photoshop the platform" for their existence.

It also has shitty performance. 32-bit emacs on my windows machine at work can't open a 300 MB text file for analysis. Turns out that 32-bit emacs uses a 28-bit pointer (256 MB file size limit, 64-bit emacs handles up to 1 million TB). S

2. Books can have some taxonomy data. For example, I could see a list of main characters which were presented in the book until the page I have read. I can see their short description, their relationship, or even where are they currently.

It's an interesting argument, but if you make it a file, will the system know that: cat file1 > proc/mail/coworker@company.com cat file2 > proc/mail/coworker@company.com are two separate messages?

Read the comments from: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roc/archives/2010/01/video_fr... Robert's opinion is that flash is equally evil, but dropping it would be even more damaging than never supporting h.264, so the damage is already done

Isn't the TCO problem largely a non-issue? My understanding is that if you do (defn function [...] ... (recur ...)) instead of (defn function [...] ... (function ...)) the compiler handles it for you.
