You're trading speed for the ability to deploy cross platform apps that are remotely deployable and updateable. I would love the faster speed of native applications however I'm unaware of a method of developing native applications that have all the benefits of web applications.
You may be right, but its a dissapointing state of affairs. Even if you only use trusted markets how can you be sure that a malware application doesn't slip through?
In my opinion It would be far better to be able to trust the operating system, that way you can be less concerned about where you get your software. A simple example in this case would be the OS showing the user on demand what the app is connecting to. The corse grained permissions in Andriod are a step in the right direction however the journey is far from over.
No, its the price we pay for chosing an inferior operating system.
No application should be able to hide its activity from the OS. The OS should also make it trivial to inspect what an application has done or is currently doing.
You're living in a fantasy world if you think Untechnical Linux users could not be induced to copy and paste a script from a website into a run box. You don't even need to have the user touch the keyboard.
I used to answer lots of questions on that site (which I like to think were expert advice). I stopped the day they started charging, I suspect many others did too.
And because there is only two options we should choose the lesser of the two evils. Why not fire the people firing the teachers for political reasons instead?

Have IANA screwed up the time zone database already?
I just assumed you were posting from the UK.
George Lucas had a pretty good track record after three films too.
Why not develope a cure and save them all? Why not develop a more efficient gateway to space and save the $424 million next time?
enormous up-front costs ... significant technical risks
Because while people will check and respond to facebook they will not use email.

My heart bleeds for the poor publisher. They could do all that you ask for without my personal details.

Hi support I can't find the whatever key on my keyboard.

Yes, but do you need to land them on the same platform that launched them?
Viruses of the Mind. I used to hope that science teaching would be the anti virus.
at least your sig is on topic!
R.O.U.S?
I think your magnets may be on the wrong way round. Have you tried reversing the polarity?
What I meant to say was that blind faith is redundant, not sure where oxymoron came from. Going to stop posting now.
I can agree with that fix. Surely blind faith is an oxymoron, and I'm unaware of any religion that does not require faith though.
Perhaps, like homosexuals, they can be cured.
A scientific theory should be "testable through experiment".

RELIGION is and always will remain the enemy of science.
Oops... Didn't fix it the first time.
