WTF??? I use delicious to manage all my bookmarks. Will they be offering a zip download compatible with other bookmarking services? I darn well hope so.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned jqTouch.
When coupled with phoneGap, you get an incredibly powerful *platform independent* combination.
This is why the web was developed. People who try to force you to exchange free information through proprietary technology that you must pay to use should be shunned.
You've been watching too much mainstream TV for your own good.
If you actually did a bit of cursory research, you'd find that the Vatican publicly acknowledged the presence of paedophilia within the church nearly 50 YEARS AGO.

Can you please point to an organisation the size of the Church that is paedophile free? What you also fail to realise is that priests are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: unlike 9 to 5 secularists who can engage in their little perversions outside of office hours and where the organisation they work bears no consequences when their employee commits a crime.
The way you present your opinion, you'd think 2010 was first time that Rome has been aware of this issue. It's not. You'll find that many abuse victims that populate these protest marches have already made settlements with the Church and they and their families are coming around for seconds in the compensation stakes. They see a wealthy organisation on the ropes and they're going in for another greedy swipe. This time, they won't be so lucky. There will be no double-compensation pay-outs. The Vatican's legal team will not budge on this matter.
But don't let the facts get in the way of your prejudices and your bigotry.
At least you're being honest and I know what I'm dealing with here. While you continue to spout arrogant opinions of those with religious belief, you conveniently fail to put forward your own philosophical/theological reasoning about the highest questions known to humanity. Go found your own Church, publish some papers and get a few billion followers and we'll see how well your bigotted opinions hold up.
Also, can you point to an example of baby rape within the Catholic Church? Do you deny that these things don't happen in the country that you pay your taxes towards and sing the national anthem of?
Wow! How advanced and civilised as a human race we have become... This "get with the program"/"2010" sentiment has been around for centuries.
I wonder how many of your ideas (that you conveniently don't have to declare) will be around in 2000 years' time?
Of course you, a great beacon of secularism, know what's best for the Catholic Church. ROFL.
Maybe you should enroll in your local seminary, study for seven years, do a Doctorate of Divinity in Rome and then publish your opinions and see how well they are received. I'll bet you'd fall flat on your face on the first hurdle and the whole stadium will be laughing at you. Stick to the keyboard heroics my friend.
You've obviously made up your little mind. Best of luck. The work of the Church continues, despite what the bigots think. Insist on excluding the divine at your peril.
"They need to change" says the anonymous individual who writes on the interweb and thinks he knows better than the Catholic Church. Lol. Of course the Church has been changing since the year 0 A.D., it's just not the kind of "change" that you want to hear about and instead just stick your head in the sand and spout lah, lah rubbish. Go set up your own church seeing as you know better and see how long it takes you to get 1.1 billion followers.
I've never seen so much bigotted commentary in all my life. Slashdotters ought to be ashamed of themselves. I wonder would you be so quick to poke fun at Jews? It seems anti-Catholicism is the last acceptable prejudice. The way ye are going on, you'd think the great Utopia that is secular society (you know, the one that you slashdotters subscribe to and pay taxes towards) had never produced a paedophile or a cover-upping bureaucrat.
Anyway, despite the bigotted commentary, I get the distinct feeling that there's also a lot of begrudgery towards the Catholic Church (an institution that is incredibly wealthy). A Church that brings too much attention to the failings of the modern society that you live in.
Facebook is facilitating the Church to spread her message. No big deal. The message hasn't changed all that much - it's just the medium is slightly different. And it's obviously working: this year, the year of priests, vocations are up and are rising steadily. Some seminaries who haven't had students for over 10 years have students in their lecture halls once again.

I should also add, that your HTML/CSS is converted to *native* code.

One wonders what your opinion of the Jews is.
Hit the nail on the head. Bad taste all round. This thread reflects very badly on slashdot.org.
ROFL. You've just proved your ignorance. Since when is the Lockman Foundation's bible authorised by the Catholic Church?
