Nah, Microsoft shouldn't feel threatened. It's not like a hardware company (like IBM) is building an IDE (like Eclipse). Oh wait...

Ironic that "BigFastBlog" wasn't prepared for a few thousands (tens of thousands maybe) hits. It's not loading atm for me either.

Would it be possible to throw in a server, add a few grains of socket.io and make this multiplayer ? I don't see why not, and it would make it a much more appealing experiment.

is there a specific reason they needed to update the entire OS for this ? Most of the new features are actually apps, and the rest wouldn't really justify a major version change.

I've been following this for a while and I'm dead curious about what they'll find there. It's sad that the well is only a few cm wide (and so deep), making it almost impossible to discover big organisms (fish maybe? Nessie? who knows ...),

For a canvas of that size I'm sure you could include any basic animation without a noticeable impact on most 2006+ processors.

Oh how I sometimes wish I had some kind of memory management in Android ... It's a real joy when the system decides to reclaim a few thousands of of objects when the user is playing your game.

I work with an iPhone 4 and an HTC Sensation all day long. 12 hours a day I'm holding either phones in my hands. I have >500 purchases in my itunes account, and just as many in my android market account. That's what I'm basing my belief

When an Android app runs of memory it also crashes, with an OutOfMemory error.

I have almost never had an iOS app crash on me. I get crashes in Android apps almost weekly. I honestly don't know where those guys are getting their data, but I really don't believe it. It's true, it's a lot easier for developers on Androi

Pay a friend $100 or get someone to make an UI design for you. If you can't afford that, have a look at the popular android apps, at the apps developed by google and at free/paid themes on the internet. I don't know what's the website for t

Looks like a rather good deal to me. Being backed by Instapaper automatically gets you a lot of users. What would be the chances for any indie developer to get half of those users without Instapaper's support ?

There is no way amazon's few millions of tablets can compete with the hundred of millions of phones AND tablets that come with Google apps preinstalled. To say that amazon will take over android app distribution is a very very far stretc

what are you talking about ? You read the emails whenever you want, and answer to them whenever you want. Too many people trying to talk to you at once is IM. Email is totally different. If you want to compare it to something, compare it to

A few years ago a satellite was falling to earth[1], and although it supposedly had much less dangerous materials onboard than this thing, every nation was hurrying to blow it out of the sky. And eventually they did. Why can't they do that
