    Bullshit, there are different thing you can pirate, in case of software, with large software companies the creator is rewarded by an hourly pay he gets when he writes the software, the people rewarded when I buy software are stockholders, they didn't create anything. The only time your argument is valid is when the pirated material is created by a small private firm (like indie games), then you are correct, the creator is rewarded when I buy the software

  3. Re:Could be really cool in about 5 years or so. on Google Starts to Detail Dart · · Score: 1

    Probably worded it out wrong. When I said "never ment to run directly in the browser" I ment that browser vendors never shown interest in making those languages run in the browser, there was never a plan to make them part of the browser. I see no reason to not use lua as js replacement but no vendor shown interest in doing so. with dart, at least 1 major vendor will, and perhaps google will manage with time to convince others. As for IE and Safari, if enough people use it and mozilla joins the party, eventually I think they will do it, especially since the vm will be open source so they could just fork it to fit their needs and they need not write their own. until then you can just compile to js for those 2 and send dart code to others.

    Because all of those were never ment to run directly in the browser. With dart there is hope that one day browsers will support it without compilation, chrome should have it soon, others perhaps later. With dart the compilation to js is just for a transitional phase until browsers adopt it. So it has more potential to become popular if developers think of it that way.

  11. Re:Why am I so surprised :) on Apple Bans Game App That Criticizes Smartphone Production · · Score: 1

    There are apps that cannot be ported to html5 - most games will be too slow inside the mobile browser (perhaps not with the new chips in the ipad2 but right now the current iphone and ipod are not fast enough to run heavy graphics inside the browser). On the desktop with dual or quad core 2-3 ghz cpu's and a few gigs of ram, you could do almost anything in html5, but it's not the case in the iphone. Censorship on native code is still censorship, and if someone points out that there is no censorship on native code on the other side of the fence it is not hypocrisy.

  12. Re:Why am I so surprised :) on Apple Bans Game App That Criticizes Smartphone Production · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But you forget that android's marketplace is NOT the only legal way to buy and sell apps. even if google rejects the game, the developers can still just send a link to download the game (you know, like normal software) or publish it at amazon's appstore. If you are rejected by apple you're only way to share the game is to jailbroken devices. That's why ios is a walled garden, and android is not. (I am talking about the censorship part. slave labor and outsourcing is done by everyone)

    Google already has a map of israel with names of the streets. The disputed areas are beyond the green line and google will probably not go there at all.

    And why would google waste billions of dollar just to add israel to streetView? What benefit is there for google?

  21. Re:I'm confused ... on Google Street View Gets Israeli Government's Nod · · Score: 1

    Knowing how the street looks is not really an issue for a would be attacker. They know where the crowded places are, and information on bus (a primary target) movement and schedule is available online. so this is not much of risk, and not enough to disallow the street view. I would be less surprised to see it banned for privacy reasons that for security reasons.

    Or you could just use chrome with click-to-play (go to about:flags and enable it) and the do not allow javascript setting and put trusted sites in exceptions list. Or you could use NoScripts for more control but i would rather not install any add-on's either. Or you could use the incognito mode as your general browsing browser due to all plugins and extensions are disabled and all your info is deleted so no chance of malicious site getting the info. I see absolutely no reason to have 2 browsers.
