is the screen still made of glass that will shatter if you drop it to the ground? If glass, I hope they have managed to hardend it. Also I dont want those silly bands/rubber rings around the phone.

"This is where Scheme really won. Because of its extremely algorithmic---almost mathematical---nature, Scheme can be easily manipulated in a sort of algebraic style. One can follow a series of rewrite rules (just about blindly) to transform a program into another form with some desirable property. This was exactly what I needed."

Can anyone explain this with an example? I have been pondering what he meant with this for a long time.

it has. But I think its important to point out that freebsd and the bsd-stack is not in any way in competition with osx. Apple develops products, and earns money by creating products that average joe can operate with ease. This means that Apple is able to commoditize off open source, by taking and contributing back to their projects of interest. Free Software Foundation have their understanding of what freedom is. Unfortunately the fight for freedom has resulted in a rather complicated GPL v3 opposed to BSD-licenses which demand that your respect copyright and by that restricts you less than the GPLish licenses. It's ironic, but BSD offers more freedom than GPL. Also, it's a shame that VLC - being the most kick-ass videoplayer today - is hindered by legal issues.

As a funny sidenote, one could say that if you choose GPL you need to consult your legal-department. But if you choose BSD you don't even need a legal-department.

It uses websockets to provide realtime multiplayer action. And canvas to draw the graphics. This is a sweet taste of what is to come with HTML5.

Essentially I'm saying that the developers/distributors that make these kind of products will find a way to reach their customers some way or another. Just because microsoft makes this statement may indeed hinder the market from developing in the early beginnings. But it will not stop the perverts in the long run. Not that I'm against this product in any particular way - as I think people are to be free to explore their sexual fantasies. I am saying however, that the market will be (probably) too big to be ignored.

there is no need for me to define perverts. But according to wikipedia...: Perversion is a concept describing those types of human behavior that are a serious deviation from what is considered to be orthodox or normal. ... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pervert

Maybe not a new currency. But Paypal truly has showed weakness when bending over for a government without any juristic evidence. I mean, Paypal as the #1 international internet pay-service (as I see them) is basically compromising their entire credibility over one political case. One can only wonder how much pressure the Government had put on them. So while a totally new currency maybe would be taking it a bit too far - a 100% independent online pay-service/transaction-service, explicitly stating their i political independence would be up for a timely launch now. Kind of like a Swiss bank - but for online cash-flow.

making sounds on a violin does not make you a musician just like coding up some statements does not make you a programmer. But it is how everyone, great or small, starts. Nice read.

to me it sends the wrong signal to other share holders. Sell now while the share has a temporary peak.

their up and coming smart-phone business and being able to integrate that with their other online products like Bing will decide whether MS will grow or die. They are late in all domains, so they are gonna have to impress by pushing the experience to new heights.. which I doubt they will pull off considering they have a poor product development culture compared to apple and google.
