XML Co-Founder Joins Google, Blasts iPhone
XML co-founder Tim Bray has taken the job of 'Developer Advocate' at Google. Don't other companies call that position 'Evangelist?' Because he sure doesn't mince words against the iPhone in his first sermon: 'It's a sterile Disney-fied walled garden surrounded by sharp-toothed lawyers. The people who create the apps serve at the landlord's pleasure and fear his anger.
Comparing XML to the iPhone is like comparing a fighter jet with a celebrity cooking show on television.
how long until
Exactly - it's just like that Richard Dawkins guy - he's always talking about religion, but he's an atheist! How can he possibly know anything about religion if he doesn't believe in god!??!?!
They both have the power to kill thousands, I don't see the big difference.

I see no mention of cars in that comparison, so I have absolutely no clue what you're talking about.
XML is like violence. If it doesn't solve your problem, you aren't using it enough.
Rhymes that keep their secrets will unfold behind the clouds.There upon the rainbow is the answer to a neverending story
Oops sorry. But you got my lightly veiled reference that Apple = Hitler, so I'm still ahead :)

MABASPLOOM!
Unfortunately, chris.travers@GMAIL.COM, your Google boycott rings a tad hollow.
Ironically, the word ironically is often used incorrectly.
So this raises the question, who are the Yanks?
Johnny-come-latelys who will hang around for 10 years after the actual fighting is over, and claim THEY won the battle ?
lol you have a hotmail account
Microsoft was sued by 20 State Attorneys General for violating antitrust laws.
I don't think there's much of a comparison between Apple and Microsoft.
No! You don't get it! That's how deep the conspiracy goes! Either Apple has brainwashed state governments so they don't see that Apple's also violating the same antitrust laws, or fanbois have infiltrated those governments! There's no other possible explanation!
Wake up sheeple and see the truth before it's too late and we have iGovernment!
