By putting those developers to work you create something of value which would not have exist before.. The problem with government is that they are usually terrible at predicting the markets which makes them inefficient compared to a free market.
Xcode is great, I don't know what you're talking about... I actually like Objective-C. When it comes to writing games I'll still do the majority of my programming in C++.
For anything UI related however, Objective-C + Cocoa + Xcode is amazingly useful.
What? I'm sorry but you're argument makes no sense...
Without GM foods the world would be starving right now.
We should probably ban computers too, yah know to prevent a robot revolution from occurring.
While we're at it, let's stop working on nano tech, it could potentially result in a grey goo scenario.
Hell, why are we letting people work on medical technology? It's only going to result in overpopulation and exacerbate the situation between the Haves and the Have-Nots.
Can you point to some of them? I'd like to recreate them as innovative, functionally useful, applications that work as advertised while following Apple's HIG.
Heck, Intel's Pine Trail isn't PC-compatible, but it's an x86-based platform. Which is why Linux runs, but not Windows (desktop - you can probably get Windows CE running on it).
Tell that to everyone running Windows 7 on their netbooks.
You probably meant Moorestown which doesn't have a PCI bus. The next version, Oaktrail will be able to run regular Windows however.

The day we start accepting it is the way we lose.
We need more mineralssssssssssssss.
Check out this interesting documentary: Although it has more to do with underground railroad tunnels and the people living under them.

I take it this guy has invented inertial dampeners?
No? You haven't?
Then don't call it a zero gravity suit.
Thanks for that link, that was a very interesting article.
Blame the government for creating a false sense of security.

And that made it work harder, after all the malt liquor is just fuel for our robotic overlords.
They still need us.
For now at least.
I would like yo point you towards this post on Fark by the sites founder:

Slashdot really needs a -0 Disagree.
Shill? Do you know what a shill is?

Grandpa, you're still alive? Tell me that story again about your pet dinosaur.
Try coding in ObjectiveC and Cocoa for a week, you'll learn what a really good library looks like.
How did he prove your point? By agreeing with you? Hah!

3 years? I've been on Slashdot 10 years ago and was on the WoW forums ~5 years ago and I'm pretty young(23)...
Yes, you're new to the internet.
It would be nice if they all standardized on a magsafe interface. Although I doubt it would happen, too expensive.
Regardless, this is great news. It would be very nice to have just 1 power brick for multiple devices.

I'm terrified of clicking a link from a domain called goatkcd.com...
Because they label their crap-phones from a less sophisticated era as smartphones?
What spill? I've never heard of this Oil Spill?
