What's your point? The CLR loads CIL and craps out native code at runtime. It's a host environment without which CIL cannot execute. You're splitting hairs to say that it isn't a VM.
Eyesores fade with continued use, in my opinion. When I first started using Python I swore up and down that I couldn't stand whitespace indentation to denote code blocks, but now it's as natural as can be.
I'll give it to you though. Objective C has a very wide mishmash of syntax paradigms. It feels so much like metaprogramming (I guess that's not too off the mark since it's effectively a runtime on C with macros and code preprocessing). I still like it though. It lends a certain elegance.
Mark my words. There's a room in Cupertino where this year's iMac is running iOS on the desktop already. People were shocked to hear that they'd been running Intel Macs for years before making the switch. OS X created iOS. iOS created Lion. Lion is the last OS X. iOS X (they'll likely skip iOS 8 and 9) will run on your iPhone, your Apple TV, your iPad and your iMac. This will happen sometime in early 2013.
The correct physical analogue is not a scroll at all, but rather a flat canvas. Your fingers touch and move the canvas itself, and the window is simply a view from above onto that canvas. No knobs, no scroll bars, just a visual indication of where your view is in relation to that canvas' edges.
HURD needs to be able to do something spectacular that makes it worth the effort of moving all the apps over that don't currently use it.
Tell that to the Debian developers who are doing this right now, thanks to the fact that the packaging system was written in such a way that you could swap out the kernel and still have a working system. There is a running manifest of broken packages that are being worked through.
The need you speak of is not required. People just want to see new ideas in practice. How else do we make any progress? Linux is great, but not perfect. Let's get another methodology in practice and see what it can do.
Coffee shop, friend's house, public library, place of employment. Come on. You're telling me there's no access to fast internet where you are? Get creative.
Translators running in user space is better than kernel modules running in privileged space. This is reason enough to embrace a new system and apply the lessons learned from Linux.

Sensationalist headline!
No such corporation. Apple dropped "Computer" from its name years ago.
Traders who make $2 billion in rogue trades are called Managing Directors.
His name wasn't Paul.
His middle name was.
Yeah, I'm sure none of the scientists involved thought to check this. After all, it's only CERN.
If I ran a corporation, and my tax burden were lessened, but I could continue to sell my product at the same price, why would I lower my prices?
Allison was the worst storm I've ever seen, and I was in the middle of Ike.
Obama is about to spend us into oblivion. He's run up more debt in less than 3 years that GW Bush did in his whole 8 years
Incorrect.
Increase in debt under George W. Bush: $6,106 billion
Increase in debt under Barack Obama through the end of 2010: $1,653 billion

What's your source?
Name one.
This would be like my grocery store opening my cereal box to get the toy out so that I'm more likely to buy toys from the store.
Fucked. Up.
You'll aileron-ate your friends with jokes that bad!

Yes. CIL is JIT compiled by the CLR. Just like the JVM does with Java bytecode.
The CLR is a VM. You can't ask the machine to load CIL. It has to be interpreted by the CLR first.

If it is the principle UI that you use
TV is their principle app
You meant to say 'principal'.

Fine. It's a sneak preview. That I'm posting from right now. Enjoy your excuses for paying $70 for a $30 product.

pulled the Rosetta (PPC) support for no reason at all
Lesson learned from Microsoft. Learn to replace, then deprecate, then delete. Otherwise you have 30-year old API's that limit your future development.
Seriously, they stopped selling PowerPC Macs years ago. They're not going to target their OS for five year old hardware.
