Focus on specific and network. Do you know of any GSM enabled iTunes compatible devices? Also their developer agreement is an anti-trust issue by itself. It is in direct opposition of application portability, and inter-device application competition. Looking at it in the other direction, they are leveraging their (legal) monopoly on Apple devices (it was granted to them when they got the trademark) to gain an application market monopoly. Ever hear of official and supported (as in not void warranty) App Stores? I haven't.
But there is such a thing as a monopoly on devices that can access a specific network based market mechanism, so it's partly an anti-trust issue, partly a net-neutrality one.
Actually CGI porn might have an advantage in that area - take any rescent game engine and and a simple control program, not even an AI, and make the virtual actors choosable, likeyou pick your characters in WoW, and then have them perform whatever the control program (movie script) tells them to. You can pick a pro porn actress, or you can pick the girl next door type. Or, the real thing, just couple of pictures, and the 3D engine does the rest, like photoshop's smart fill feature.
Technically, they have a monopoly on their own products - i.e. iTunes compatible devices, and consequently a rather not small niche market, the iTunes media and application market. They are abusing their otherwise legitimate monopoly position.
Anti-trust, European commission. They'll ass rape M$ if they pull that stunt without allowing alternate appstores. Ironic that M$ started copying Appl€, and improving, instead of crippling, though forced by law.
I'm not looking at ROI, but TCO for iDevice with developer access. Which comes out to $200 expense on top of a regular iDevice, all by the whim of Apple.
The platform deprecation time for a Mac is aprox. 5 years. For a PC -at least 10 years. cheapest mac is about $700. Cheapest PC you can reasonably develop on - $300. PC cost per supported year - $30, Mac - $140. And that's supposing you don't already have a PC, for which the probability is 9 times higher than that of already owning a Mac for other purposes.
Oh, yeah, that's why they were so happy to drop it for Safari. Also, it was, and technically is a good browser - for its purposes - namely, to lock people in.
I was looking for a well designed and easily customizable menu system, small load times, and an absolutely clean interface, for linux and windows. Can't seem to find one there. Any takers for such a project? Seems a reasonable idea.
The issue is that that JIT technology hasn't advanced enough to burn through all the layers of abstraction, though we are getting there. Not to mention we simply need a couple of processor tricks to speed up all those dynamic look-ups. FFS, isn't that what the MMU is for? Someone please add some user mode instructions for MMU queries for virtual table look-ups. And typed registers, overloaded instructions, and typed load instructions. With software exceptions for abstract types. I want my B5000, damn it!
Wha? Wait, I think you got me wrong. The CDN DNS server broadcasts a list of IPs that somecdn.tld resolves to, along with location data for the IPs, the DNS server receives that list and caches it. When a client looks up somecdn.tld, the DNS server checks the client IP for geo data against a DB, and sends the IP of the physically nearest CDN server. Sorta like anycast, only it is statically resolved per look-up on the DNS level.
Any proper programmable DMA engine can make copy latency as in CPU time, zero. And, any descent capability based CPU won't have to make a complete fraking state change for a privileged function call (system trap). Don't blame OSes for crappy CPU design.
Make lots of less reliable hardware, and then add software error correction for critical calculations. It might turn out that its cheaper in power and silicon to move the precision concern out of hardware and in to software, and add more cheap and energy efficient horsepower to handle the extra processing. At least that's what the paper says.
I don't think you actually have to forward IPs. Just publish a anycast list of IPs with geo-data that DNS can resolve to as it sees fit. Transparent, client and server side, and anonymous. Though Google's idea seems reasonable.

What does Google care of China's cheap labor?
Does anybody know of a FOSS Tegra driver?
Unless they port android to LLVM, and the Open Group designates a ELF machine type for .llbc. There exists a LLVA port of Linux.

That phone wouldn't be a Nokia 1680 classic, would it?

I have prior art on that - with IPv6, using a smartbook with integrated phone, with one gesture.
Dear Santa, I wish Google or Nokia buys Skype.
....Or, you could add webcam and mic input support to HTML5, and use a web based Wave client, or a good native client.

Considering mass energy duality, where does the neutrino get that extra energy to change mass, and, if it has mass, how does it move at light speed?
Transmeta, where are you when we need you?
Where do I get my Fluxbox inspired word processor, with non cryptic integrated overlay command line?
