OK, nice letter, but. Why would RIM spend a boatload of money investing in QNX going forward? They already wasted enough buying it. Why not bite the bullet and adopt Android across the board? Instant developer network, Google support, hu

Off topic, but this comment describes how I feel about the Catholic School Board we have in Canada. Because of historical precedent, in Ontario we have two school systems, one that is secular and public, and one that is separate, for peopl

Perhaps you're right. I guess I'm being a little selfish in so far as what I've described is what I'd want, as a potential paying customer. I still want the structure and editing though, so I'm not sure how payment could be distributed to

I've been watching the self-publishing world lately since reading Jon Konrath's blog here: http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/ and I have to say, why can't I get all the programming books I want for approximately $1-$5 per book in electronic
