Hahaha, and that you think makes more business sense than just licensing the patents (tens of billions vs tens of millions of $$)? I'm sure Apple stockholders are glad that you aren't running the company.
You cannot however create an app that is truely native..
What is "truely" native? What are the other kinds of native code? NDK allows you to build native applications that execute directly on the processor, as opposed to inside Dalvik, that's native in my books. Moreover, if you make your UI in OpenGL you don't even have to use Android UI elements.
I would hardly call making available an XML file with a list of songs and playlists, as means of interoperability with iTunes. Maybe you're confusing it with iPhoto, which actually does allow interoperability with various cameras and devices. Like iPhoto, Mac OS X's default music management application, iTunes, too needs to be device neutral (especially when it can be achieved by simply NOT blocking devices based on USB vendor IDs).
I think, this type of application behavior only makes Apple look insecure. People will still buy iPods and iPhones, regardless of whether iTunes allows syncing with other devices.
By that logic, Apple software should come with no EULAs or Terms of Use as well. Far more people would read (and comprehend!) a dialog message informing them about phishing security than the 10,000+ word EULAs that many Apple applications come with.
Which hindrance of the two do you think is more useful and has better usability? It's pretty obvious that this omission has absolutely nothing to do with usability.
The fingerprint reader is merely a convenience. Slide your finger instead of typing your password. Neither provide much security in the case of a stolen laptop unless your file system happens to be encrypted with it.
This is actually GREAT for Apple as well (more sales). This is horrible for ATT, however.
Apple is making much more from the cut they receive from AT&T for each iPhone customer's monthly charges than they do from selling an individual iPhone. So Apple definitely does have monetary interest in keeping the iPhone locked to AT&T.
Why are they "criminals"? They haven't been convicted of anything. The fact that they follow a philosophy of anti-copyright doesn't make them criminals.
Cg/HLSL are definitely older and hence have picked up developer mind share, but being the first few high-level realtime shading languages, they have design flaws. GLSL is based on an excellent design and if your API of preference is OpenGL, then GLSL is what you will want to use.
Probably the most eagerly awaited feature for OpenGL developers, everything in the OpenGL state is directly accessible using built-in variables in the shader and need not passed explicitly from the program before executing the shaders.
'varying' variables are another cool design feature, where you can pass data from the vertex shader to the fragment shader directly.
GLSL is based on excellent design and it is only a matter of time before OpenGL developers switch to it. I, for one, have switched to GLSL. nVidia's latest SDK (7.0) already has many GLSL demos and their 0.60 drivers for FX and 6800 already support GLSL.
You need some sunlight to produce vitamin D; therefore, therefore, sunlight cannot cause cancer.
Overexposure to UV radiations is what heightens the risk of cancer. About 5-10 minutes a day, which is sufficient to produce the necessary Vitamin D, is not considered overexposure and hence if you are unprotected only for such a small period of time, then you are not in much of a risk.
Vitamin D also plays an important role in regulating the production of cells, thereby countering effects of cancer.
The latter usually loaded and executed the program, and the former just loaded the program into memory and you had to usually do a 'RUN' to get it to execute.
According to the CVS, the other option was to post :
"Today the Enlightenment team announces the culmination of many months of neogtiations. Enlightenment will be sold to Microsoft Corp. and all the technology will be applied to the upcoming releases of the Windows(R) Operating system."

Isn't it possible to have an ovi address by, for example, being a customer? a happy customer, in this case?
Yes it is, anybody can sign up for a free ovi.com email account. Nokia employees generally have a @nokia.com email address.

His email address is ...@ovi.com. Ovi is the name of Nokia's internet services brand, so it looks like this is just astroturfing.
Either that or he just happens to have signed up for a free ovi.com email account.

I'd be surprised if Excel was compiled using gcc :)
Unless XBMC was trojan installed on your Xbox, I'd say the Xbox is hardened.
How do you reconcile view caching with this idea?
You could use a caching controller, which would handle view caching logic.

Apparently that's all he had, binaries, without any source code.

If it's such a waste then why is the sixth link on your home page pointing to Slashdot? You'll probably wanna remove that too.
