Most of the business plans I've seen in the last few years go something like that.
1) Do something for free on the Internet. 2) Get lots of people using it, lots of 'eye balls'. 3) Sell to Google (or some other fool with deep pockets).
Apple claims to have just released 1500 new API's for iPhone OS. How long will it take for Adobe to support them with their development tools?
That's the whole point. Adobe can't. A lot of the APIs are pretty low-level. The best any Flash-based, or any other cross-platform development environment can even hope for is to support only the lowest common denominator across all of the target platforms. You think the App Store is full of crap now? Imagine all the Flash-based crap that would flood it if this were to go forward.
Except the fuckwads over at ReadWriteWeb, Mashable and TechCrunch is all they blog about: Foursquare this, Foursquare that, Foursquare farted, Foursquare puked. Fuck. Makes you wonder if they have a financial interest in them...
Can anyone chime in if it is easy to read pdf ebooks on the iPad?
There are several PDF readers for the iPad. This one gives you the least amount of on screen junk with almost all of the screen devoted to the PDF: MyPDFs.
Ya dumb hoser! I'd rather live and work in a country that isn't 99.999% north of Buffalo, New York. Imagine not having to freeze your backside off for over half a year.
I was going to say that Jesse Schell is an idiot for not seeing past the "you have to sit in front of it and it has to have a keyboard and mouse" mentality that pervades computing today. But yeah, it's not for him - it's for his mom, dad, grandma and grandpa and any other NON geek/nerd/tech-head on the planet.

Isn't that an oxymoron?

And how many industry lobbyists are waiting in the wings to twist the arms of Congress into ratifying it?
And over 400,000 die every year from consuming Tobacco products. So which is the greater evil? The Terrorist or The Tobacco industry?
Frankly I'm surprised there hasn't been righteous outrage directed at Apple for newly rejecting apps with the three letters "pad" in their names...
I ended up uninstalling Java the day I got hit by malware through Java.
Don't need it to run anything on my machine so the POS is gone, gone, gone.
What about the JooJoo tablet? Doesn't the Antisemitic League find that not kosher at all?

What are the specs of your machine vs. the specs of the (badly named) JooJoo tablet?

I don't really want Yoda to start cracking wise about force.
Come on, who doesn't want to hear Yoda say "My finger, pull youngling."

And when you looked closer, you saw that Flash was taking up 99% of those resources in Firefox.
That's because Apple doesn't give access to corresponding API's.
Total bullshit. Adobe is too fecking lazy to rewrite Photoshop to use Cocoa.

Troll? Looks like a badly done Photoshop to me as well.
/. is starting to resemble Digg more and more every day.
Borders and nations are artificial, man-made. They enforce a low-brow, low-IQ "us vs. them"' mentality and thus belong in the dark ages.
Let's see how fast this gets modded down as a troll.
Opera, on the other hand, does absolutely everything server-side.
So, in other words, Opera spies on everything you do in Opera Mini.
No thanks.
What's really cool with Snow Leopard is that if you implement your threaded stuff in OpenCL, it can run on CPU and/or GPU.
5. Lack Of Tablet Apps
In other words perfect time for developers, who don't have their heads up their arses, to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity.

It's the interface, stupid.
O!M!G! Someone on /. final gets it. ;)
No, he means 21 C.
This guy is an idiot
