That is exactly the first thing that came to my mind also, I love apple products and their os. However, when it comes to web apps they suck horribly bad.
All you need to do is install this 1.2 GB active x control. Or you can opt for the 1.6 GB active x professional version that includes "web bob" and "clippy".
It is pleny open enough for me I open x-code write some code compile it and install it on my phone. I can run anything at all I please on it, of course I spent a whole 100 bucks on the dev license to do so.
Actually you don't know what you are talking about. Yes the first version of ios4 was slower, the later patches fixes all this everything is back to normal speed. I have a number of games I built for the iphone targeting the 3G device, guess how many times I had to rebuild those to keep compatibility? Let me spell it out for you, not once it still runs perfectly and even on the ipad no changes. Now lets talk about porting these games to the android, not going to happen guess why. First of alll I have two choices to do so, native code via the ndk which is a complete joke or port it to the dalvik jvm which does not have enough performance to run the physics routines.
I am a linux dude through and through but I am not so blind that I cannot see android for the hack that it is.
Not it is a fact that it will always be slower than native code. You are inserting a shim (vm) between the processor and the code, there is a performance penalty for that.
The flip side to that is it takes a whole lot less testing to hit the targets on the iphone / ipod / ipad. In fact a couple of my apps did not require any modification when the ipad was released it just ran.
No it should never have had a VM in it there is no need for it. Apple got it right by going 100% native, a jvm on a phone serves no purpose other than to burn precious processor cycles and battery life.
Ah yes the great NDK, well lets see I need real time or close to real time sound for my game...guess what not happening. The android NDK which you would know if you had actually tried to use it is pretty much a CF, yes that is a acronym.
I agree 100% with you, I think you will find however that Hybrid and EV owners not real good at math. I also think the volt price tag is closer to 40,000 which really pushes it into the stupidity category.
40,000 price tag plus interest, fuel, electricity, tires etc? The govt better help out GM by adding a 6 dollar a gallon federal gas tax to make it at least a break even proposition buying one.

Yea it is so ugly I just bought a new iphone 4 yesterday. IOS behind? I laugh at your silly remark.
Not so sure I have grown tobacco before and it is just as easy if not easier to grow then pot but you don't see many people doing it. The price incentive to grow my own tobacco still is not quite there, close but not quite enough to make it worth my while. Same goes for beer I make beer occasionally also but it is still more expensive than just walking into a store and grabbing up a six pack.
Exactly same situation with tobacco, tobacco is extremely easy and legal to grow but you don't see anyone but major producers growing it. Now if the price goes much higher I might think about it but until then I will pay the sin taxes.
Let's see a poorly performing Droid or a high performance iPhone that eats it's lunch for execution speed but I have to be careful with? To each their own but I will stick with the better performing device.
Yea and I dropped my iphone a few times and the screen is still in perfect condition. Say what you want about the iphone it is still far superior to any android device not because of the hardware but the applications and performance while running them. Droid programming sucks balls because everything it runs is tied to a poorly performing register based jvm. Apple starts selling through Verizon and the droid devices are all but screwed. No I am not a apple fan boy I do linux for a living but google really screwed the pooch when it built all the functionality on top of a jvm.

Awesome, who is going to download and install the upgrade?

Oh is that all you got to do? How about not running windows in the first place and it can be reduce to a single step.
1. Boot OS and get your shit done.

I downloaded some ad supported version some years ago and ran it once, I was not impressed at all. It
only took that one time to shun it forever.
The flip side to that is it takes a whole lot less testing to hit the targets on the iphone / ipod / ipad. In fact a couple of my apps did not require any modification when the ipad was released it just ran.
I agree with you man it takes a crap load of hardware to run it thus my passionate love for it.
Wow, maybe I should get rid of my iphone and get a slow as hell droid because I could drop it and it might not break.
Granted minecraft is a popular java game. However java is holding it back from it's true potential also.

Yea program it in a REAL LANGUAGE like java so it can run at a blistering 3 fps.
Yes, and everything should be programmed to run on the Dalvik jvm so it can achieve a blistering 5 fps.

Obviously he is not a genius!.
Where do you think we are going to shit enough cheap hydrogen to use as fuel?
