I really like when something like that gets reported as an invention and makes a career for some nerd.
LEGO made Android App Open Sourced and GPL'ed 3 already 2 years ago...that does just that and more.
Back in the early 90s PCs were already running windows 3.0, or OS/2, there was NT by 93, and by the mid 90s there were tons of free *nix clones running graphical interfaces on said PCs.
Comparing Windows 3.0 to Amiga is like comparing Commodore 64 to Silicon Graphic. WinNT? That was the crappiest thing ever to run though chip's veins.
Mind you that one of the first ever commercials for PC was a fat guy carrying huge box while his wife answers: "Why PC? To shop, of course!"
Amiga commercial was featuring Buzz Aldrin and dewds who flew to the Moon, Andy Warhol and tons of other interesting ppl.
That was the difference and it shows where are we today - still same old crappy dominance of retarded tech, run and produced by seriously demented characters acting as software managers "making the decisions"..
One thing that has never ceased to amuse me is the capacity for self-delusion of the Amiga community.
This can only write really sad computer user with no computing history, probably owning "all Apple" things ever produced and a gaming PC.
Coding VB or C# for a sad living, most likely.
Self-delusion was just a wish that others get educated and knowledgeable in software and hardware at the time by keeping and pushing Amiga to a real mainstream, or even better analogy - the one can compare (and understand) today - Amiga was Google while PC and Apple were Bing way back then.
Apart from multitasking, lots of colors, very small kernel and speed, hundreds of smart and cool features, graphical beatifications, smarmy and small programs - it was always safe to turn off or turn on computer by - pressing on/off button - without waiting for the shutdown crap. It booted in few seconds - well below 10.
It had 4 channel stereo sound. There was an ecosystem of add-on cards, pushing it way beyond anything out there.
Apart from all that - in the very early 90's the only animated thing on a PC was green blinking cursor, while Amiga run video productions and myriad of graphical editing and manipulation imaging programs. Do I have to mention games? TV connectivity, composite video, RGB video and various simultaneous display and video overlay possibilities.
All that at max speeds of 50 MHz - mind you.
So..not really better, but different.
I wish you were my manager 2 years ago. In his under-educated retardation, that guy opted for the future development of a program on a Silverlight that will affect millions of children. I left possibly one of the best companies in the world, because this product line will ultimately fail over it and it seemed unethical for me to linger on. I tried my best to convince peers, stakeholders, everyone involved - out of their ignorance they just kept the development on track - waiting for the incoming train. Such a sad story...
Did time existed before universe was created? Are first ever protons created the holy grail of time/space? Where is the initial first light from the Big Bang? - according to this theory it didn't arrive yet or suntin. I have wasps in my brain... (faints)
Huh? How'd this make the front page? French internal politics?
When first apparatus for recording music came about SACEM - French equivalent of German GEMA or American RIAA or insert_relevant_copyright_agency_here was first to introduce everything, we in 21st century fight against on interwebs.
So, of course that it is interesting how they swing, as they do influence radicalized, corrupt and fascistoid EU.
Look at the turnout at their elections - more then 70%. What is turnout in USA? Like 20% or so...if. So, no lesson learned.
Well, there was this bold guy, Pim, prevented in time to enter the parliament and mess up The Netherlands...not that it was very democratic, but it was surely very effective.
If only Germans would get rid of Merkel and Dutch of their freaky Wilders things in Europe would already look a lot different and imported ideas of "freedom" from USA including SOPA, CISPA would be laughed at and rejected with an ease. Soon...

Actually, Google could add a lot of value here. They could create a vote buying system, much like their reverse auction ad bid system.
Ahhh..yes - a Google Bank you mean, right?

Bootloader wars..yeah! Just what we need right now. Can it get more retarded?

LUA is cool. Very compact - good for writing small VMs.

It wasn't murder. It was a "political anomaly correction".

SIEMENS PLC..
Is it a Space Roomba? Collecting space junk since 2011? More of those please....
Even South Park film proclaimed: " We have no intelligence!" ...and it is a fact. Bigger the system - bigger the failure...
Yup. Still here and in the center of the universe..as The Earth always was.
