Since when is the size of a company measured on the stock market? That makes no sense at all... User base, number of employees, that would be a reasonable measure.
Have you ever used flash? It's slow as hell, shutters on pal resolution movies even, and often uses 100% of the CPU Time of one of my cores in my 8 Core Mac Pro. WHEN IDLE!
The flash platform is a pile of CPU eating crap, I can't imagine how anyone would use that voluntarily. On an iPhone it'd probably eat away all battery power within less than an hour.
Mono can't even run apps on OS X, how could it possibly run on a platform that is even more different from Windows? Such a claim was borderline ridiculous to begin with...
I happen to like Objective-C and the Cocoa framework. It's method names are quite descriptive and don't leave much guesswork on what they do. Incidentally, there are short method names too for things that are easy to describe in short names.
You don't have to use the MVC pattern if you don't want to. It's just more convenient to work with API the way it is designed to be used.
It is not about ability. The iPhone had the capability for multi-tasking since version 1.0. What was not there was the permission to do it for non-apple programs.
So, stop writing about stuff you have zero clue about.
JavaScript isn't very cross platform. Some of them run in Internet Explorer, others run in Firefox, Safari, Chrome. Many browsers provide a different API. It's slowly getting more uniform, but Microsoft is still fighting.
Have you even read the patent? No way keyboards or gaming controls for phones are a prior art.
1. A hand-held game accessory to physically receive a portable electronic device to enhance the playing of games, the game accessory comprising:a recess to physically receive at least a substantial portion of the portable electronic device;a plurality of input controls that may be actuated by a user while playing a game;first circuitry to communicate with the portable electronic device, the communication relating to the actuation of a plurality of input controls; andsecond circuitry to retain information about a game after the portable electronic device is removed.
The thing retains information about the game, like a memory card or something.
4. The game accessory of claim 1 further comprising a connector insert for mating with a connector receptacle located on the portable media player to form a path for the communication, wherein the connector insert rotates to allow the game accessory to physically receive the portable electronic device.
So the connector has to rotate.
So to find a prior art, you have to find a controler with a rotating connector that has embedded memory to store score.
Here's the link to the patent if you care
And how's that supposed to protect the users from phishing, key logging or MitM attacks? It can't. Because no matter how you ad layers uppon layers, virtual computers have to run on real ones. And once that one is compromised (which it can be, and these days often are), all the layers you have stacked won't protect the data you enter. Your keyboard presses are detected by any malware before the virtual pc even knows you pressed one.
If you think that two factor authentication protects you from being key logged then you're mistaken. There are troyans that can compromise World of Warcraft accounts that are protected by RSA Authenticator tokens like those that bank use in real time. For banks, they can do even more: They can redirect payments you perform online to an other destination, and use the codes as you enter them.
For real security, you need a secure platform. Like a system that is read only, special purpose and therefore slim, and offering at most a tiny attack vector. Much like a Boot CD containing a Linux system that boots into a browser that is hardcoded to the bank's web page. That is useful security, and not just a band aid like two-factor authentication.
Executing JavaScript is also voluntary. You have to trust the client to give you the correct data, otherwise you can give up on it and just store on the server side which add you send to which web page.
They could just parse referrers and relay all links (clicks) on the banner over their own server. That way they have tracked both banner shows and clicks.
It's not needed to convince the politicians, it's required to convince enough people to sign a referendum, and then enough people to vote against it on a national scale. But that's for when the law is actually written, before it is, no one can vote on it.
Train the child that the gun-shaped controller is a toy and "accidentally" leave a real gun that happens to look similar loaded and ready to fire near the spot where the toy usually resides.

Until Apple is as big as Microsoft, it will take a long time.
The lenders are the victims, they lend money and don't get it back.
Just because you lack the mental capacity to use it that doesn't mean no one on this planet can.

Microsoft does it with their XBox. They try to do it with their Windows Mobile System 7 Edition thing, partially.
Being able to use windows and using windows are two different things...
Have you forgotten about the SCO incident? Who do you think sponsored it?

Both chambers of parliament have agreed to demand that cabinet draws up a draft law, despite opposition by Justice Minister Eveline Widmer-Schlumpf.

I have never ever seen a live tank yet and I've lived in Switzerland my whole life. They'd just damage the roads anyway.
Scientology is neither young, nor a person. And as such, it has no personal honour.
He didn't even design it, he just co-founded it.
It will most likely be opt-in.
Because it could be a setup.
Train the child that the gun-shaped controller is a toy and "accidentally" leave a real gun that happens to look similar loaded and ready to fire near the spot where the toy usually resides.
Or it could be a careless accident.
