this is pure speculation but...
one wonders whether Eric Schmidt's (former Sun executive) and his very probable push for Java on Android was not behind his resignation. From any angle Android's Java reliance seams like a bad move.

"more representative description of real world lighting by storing data with a higher bit-depth per pixel than more conventional images"
So basically they store the image with greater color resolution then the conventional 8bit-RGB -- they are not getting realtime over/under exposure passes to get HDR enhanced mixed output.
social care for disabled, firesquads, foster homes, police etc. I do not see how you could sustain that without taxes. Look at some rich corporations like Apple for example, they (Apple) haven't donated a dime in the last decade..
Absolutely, this is a scam, fraud and identity theft. You can't f*** take my identity and place it on your shitty website! That wrong on so many levels.
... a virtualization nightmare, definitely not recommended for production environments, needs lots of good (expensive) hardware to tame. Also, if you are running realtime OS on some low spec. board then the resource hoggishness and unpredictability is a major show stopper.
This mess only shows that the web in is flaved by design and the "apps" are way better in just any regard. The web 3.0 really are the apps with backside server feed.
For example there is an iPad app for weather, that is so good that we completely stopped visiting weather office website. I do not think the web will go the way of Gopher, but near future might show that HTML5 will not be needed or even wanted.
He is looking a typical ethanol-mental zombie, personality changes described are very similar to those of late stage alcohol addicts, and he has history of strong alcohol addiction, it is a pretty clear case to me.. These people are retarded on many levels. Alcohol is worse then hard drugs in this regard, leaving people somewhat 'ok' looking and behaving, but with totally ill minds, nighmares and dementias.
Why bother with schools and diplomas, go straight to the genome. Every new employee at my corporation needs certain DNA preset and only the approved array of good genes.
Java might be fast enough for your fancy calendar app, but seriously, we need to access NEON the SIMD ARM extensions directly on the CPU to get some decent speed, because the hardware itself is still slow even the A8 Cortex is far underpowered, and do not want to wait hundreds of cycles for Java binding to even start. Java is a nightmare to code mission critical real-time applications and professional grade games. Java should be optional, nobody serious would even consider it then. GC and "managed code" was Sun's marketing ploy to deceive those exec fools to believe that Java is somewhat better then anything else, it looks like many still drink the Sun stirred Java coolaid here.
Objective-C is in the same slow lane league as Java, it is intended for weekend code warriors and calendar app coders. Our iPhone apps, surprise, do not use ObjC at all (except for some tiny binding code snippets).
Pretty much everything that is called through Java bindings shows up in profiles. One wonders what is the purpose of that language? Why is such a slow platform enforced in Android-OS in the first place ? You know the low-power, low-performance mobile platform. Smart operating systems sure can run without Java, see iOS or Bada. And then there is the dreaded "automatic garbage collector" that is always kicking in and stalls the entire system when you least need it -- no wonder Google needs another core to tame such a lousy system.
Even the less bright execs are starting to realize that there is something stinky about Java, the problem is that the average IT exec is still somewhat brainwashed by the original Sun's marketing and ploys, the clever namings of things. For example the pesky buzzword "managed code", any software exec loves that phrase, unfortunately running "managed code" is usually disastrous on a low-power and inefficient mobile platforms, not to mention any time critical or performance applications that can't cope with execution stalls and uncertain memory conditions provided by the dreaded "automatic garbage collection".
The system is broken, it honors poor websites that are so bad that people are left with no option but to "escape" through Google Adsense links. Most original content websites do not score such click through rate as those keyword spammers planting shitty webs full of Google links.

Russian leaders (Putin..) to take credit for landing man on Mars?
That is one huge political motivation me thinks.

more of a political stunt, as it has always been the case with these "space missions".

HTML5 is lacking in adoption, incompatible, slow etc.
And there is no need to further develop a bi-plane when you fly a jet already.
This approach works for some fruit related company, anyway I do not see how that fact affects average Joe Consumer, you know the 99% of all buyers.

I like paying taxes. With them I buy civilization.
Video games are way better then let your siblings lurk in the hood, take drugs, smoke or drink alcohol.

Watch you local nutcases stumble over this. The greater derail the more irrational they are.

I see a pattern here where these big cat corps think thay can just pick up ideas from little devs and shoulder it out.
/., Gamasutra and other similar niche websites. The mob will buy the Capcom version in the end anyway.
Sadly this behaviour gets noticed only here on
How is publishing information from/about a device you own a legal offence?
Sony view this as facilitating in copyright infringement (helping others in any way to do so).
Peter Sunde should be able to confirm that from prison.

Those leeches deserve a present from orbit.., but is there a way to fight them ?
For starters, they are NOT USING their "inventions", only trolling. Or what about suing them back for extortion or unfair enrichment?

Smartphone and no GPU? That is not a smartphone in 2011.
Waiting for better hardware
That was the very purpose of inefficient Java.
(to sell Sun's 'better' hardware)
