  7. Re:I see why you posted anon... on Sun To Build World's Biggest App Store Around Java · · Score: 1

    ... I should add this was some guy whose only had his iphone for a few days. The other folks have had their gphone for a few months. Not saying ones better than the other just my observation. Perhaps gphone users are less vocal about their apps.

  8. Re:I see why you posted anon... on Sun To Build World's Biggest App Store Around Java · · Score: 1

    What killer have been released for the gphone? The people I know who've gotten them seem pretty quiet about their apps. The only peep has been an onscreen keypad, but that was more of an OS update than an app. The iPhone users on the other hand seem pretty amused by the most trivial apps. Light saber, flashlight, map tracker, level, etc etc I can only surmise the level of development for the gphone is much slower than the iPhone.

    It depends on engine size. The car they tested was a V6 which normally has plenty of power to spare.

    Seriously... name one small boutique game that's consistently better than the big boys? I think you're full of shit. Starcraft, Counter-Strike, Total Annihilation, MechWarrior4, Crimson Skies, Sub Command, 688i, IL-2 Strummovik, Falcon 4, FallOut, Warcraft series, Diablo series. World of Warcraft, Everquest, Dark Ages of Camelot.

    Anything submitted by kdawson + anti-MS is near worthless in terms of news quality. This guy has got to be the laziest submitter or pay is determined by post counts/adviews, in which case trolling FOSS zealots is his strategy.

    Be careful with what you wish for. Often the most popular distro may not be the best. For example MySQL & PHP, both very popular FOSS projects but are they the best of their breed?
