Technically, isn't Opera Mini an interpreter? I understand that pages are pre-rendered before they are sent to the client, but isn't the iPhone app interpreting commands from the renderer? Where is the line being drawn?
What you bought was a license. You just happened to receive media with it.
I do agree about your concerns about the company going away. I think that if they continue with this type of licensing model, they should put their products in escrow. That way if the company disappears the source can be modified to use a different licensing model.
Personally I like how Steam works. I never have do dig out disks to install a game. Nor do I have to bother going to the store to pick a game up.
I just got a 20" iMac and just installed Windows through Bootcamp. One of the first things that I noticed is that there is visual artifacts (looks like dot crawl) on solid blocks of color. I tried to resolve the issue by installing ATIs drivers but it didn't help.
Now I'm beginning to wonder if the issue I'm experiencing may be due to the display and it's attempt to dither the 32bpp color on Windows. Perhaps Apple worked side-stepped the issue on the OS X side by limiting color depth in either the OS or driver.
There is a ton of people that ship USPS. Priority mail in particular. Priority mail is usually cheaper than others for packages that are three pounds or less (plus they provide free boxes). Also, they are the only cost effective means for shipping internationally; and a very popular method to ship to the military abroad (No one else can ship to APO/FPOs). My business ships 90% of our orders through the postal service.
For those who have web sites, perhaps this would be a good opportunity to influence your users to try a non Microsoft browser such as Firefox or Opera. I did so by posting an announcement to my message board.
Anyone who has been frustrated by a lack of production-quality free RAD environments should give it a try.
Omnis Studio has been on Linux for four years now and other platforms for even longer. While it isn't free or open source, it's good stuff. Studio applications can run on Linux, Mac, Windoze, and Solaris.
It's not free, but Omnis Studio is an extremely capable tool for building front ends and reports for client server DBMSs. It is capable of connecting to most databases out there; through either native connections or JDBC and ODBC.
An Omnis application can be run on the Mac, Linux, Windows, and Solaris with little or no code changes. It even has a web client plugin that allows you to embed a GUI application into a browser window.
Omnis Studio (www.omnis.net) is a multi-platform application development environment that allow you to build business centric applications. It allows you to develop an application on one platform and deploy to all other platfroms with little or no code changes. The deployed applications have a native look and feel. Currently Studio supports Linux, Windows, Mac OS 9 and X, and Solaris.
From what I hear, there is even support for Windows CE (or whatever it's called) planned in the future.
Studio also has a client that allows to embed a fully gui application in a web browser too.
It's pretty amazing stuff; especially since the technology has been around sice the Apple II!
I am curious about what books or resources other people have used to learn SQL. I got my start in SQL using the book LAN Times guide to SQL. It was a really good book.
Check out Omnis Studio. It's a 4GL (Interpreted) rapid application development environment. Applications developed with it can run on Linux, Windows and the Mac. You can't write video games with it, but you can use it for pretty much anything else. Also it has a web component which allows you to run applications with a web browser.

Actually I think that the perfect match for Palm would be Nintendo. In order for Nintendo to remain relevant in the mobile gaming market, they need to build devices that can compete with the iPad/Phone/Pod.

Nintendo is big on usability. So the WebOS would be a good fit.

I aks this because the company I work for is building a tool that uses similar concept as Opera.

The application presents a GUI but all code execution is handled by a server.

Omnis used to be expensive. Currently it can be purchased for $150.
