Could you give an example of one that's particularly egregious? I've seen a couple that seemed questionable (based on my gut feeling, not any specific knowledge of the subject), but none that seemed as absurd as the crystal folks.

You didn't provide any reasons for your position. I don't want to put words in your mouth, but the reasons I can think of are: 1. You don't support domesticated animals and/or the farming of animals 2. You dislike the idea of living things

I think in this case, the story is more about Apple's disregard for the spirit of the court order than being down on Apple in general. I'm generally an Apple fan, but this seems kind of petty and oddly antagonistic towards the court.

Apple hypes their platform specific tools, but there's no reason that at least traditional textbook content can't be provided in an easily cross platform way. Even the more complex content will likely become standardized to some extent in t

Lately I've seen a couple people refer to Backbone as "heavy," which I just don't understand, as it seems about as lightweight as possible for the functionality it provides. Could you explain what you mean?

Actually, since the maps coverage is pretty good in California, I wouldn't be that surprised if they didn't realize just how far behind Google their POI data was internationally. Also, even if they did realize this, I don't think they would
