Which is is fine, but their custom shell seems to smack of some attempt to be like the iPad home screen, but overly-complex. I'd rather just have the Windows desktop on it

This isn't too surprising. The slate seems too much like a "me too" device, with more hardware features than the iPad, but not enough thought put into the UI and UX

having had both matte and glossy macbook pros, my own observations seem to confirm this: colors are richer and display is brighter (across the same model) but glossy screens get smudged a LOT, and reflect just about everything

I think you are confusing developers (for the platform) and tinkerers

It seems, as others have pointed out, that a big motivator for this change was to prevent, or at least slow down, cross-platform app development. However a loophole exists: if right now you code in Generic Intermediate Language A which tran

I don't think this matters with the new Apple iPhone dev agreement terms - these new terms are going to hurt quite a few apps when Apple is really just targetting Flash->iPhone converters... using a shotgun to kill a fly.

I basically don't pay attention to stories on April Fools day - to the few I do, I just wait and see if there is any follow up the next day.

These slides are pretty skimpy - I'm guessing the actual talk had a lot more meat to it.

Well, if you don't plan on using 3G, you can get (import) the wifi only version - I may since I don't see many uses for myself outside the home (that's where my iPhone would take over)

"Most people that have handled an iPad dismiss that it's just a larger iPod Touch" Is that a typo ("have handled" -> "haven't handled")? Because reports of actual hands-on use I've read have been glowing. First example I found from goog

Is this some sort of early April Fools joke?

I had a similar idea a few weeks ago: I wondered if, given enough blog posts/tweets by a given person, could you create a close approximation of a their personality as an AI.

I'm not sure I'm down with this "explanation" in the article. I have no problem calling the Sith, or at least their behavior, evil. The Sith - or at least those we have seen in the movies - are power hungry, and practice behaviors that ar

A friend of mine wrote this some time ago in Apple Dylan for the Newton 2x00: http://www.sealiecomputing.com/newtglider/ I don't think pre-written games would be allowed though :)

I'm confused - it says 7 days, but lists the 18th thru the 1st, which is 14 days... Are you only allowed half of that time?

Everything I see in newLISP seems to be just writing Python/Rube in a LISP syntax, whereas something like, say, Clojure seems more interesting and idiomatic to LISPs

I like this - a very quick and concise getting-started tut with maven (which I've been hesitant about installing).

Indeed. After looking at various package/dep schemes for clojure, I just gave up and created my own application and library templates and copy files around - at least the jar files are small enough that it doesn't really matter.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Oriented_Assembly_Lisp seems to contradict that - they seem to be moving to C++ for future projects, which is kind of a shame.

Interestingly, this reminds me of the distributed cultural nation-states based on interests as described in _The Diamond Age_. The idea of non-location-based national affiliation has interested me since I read about that, and though I've r
