If you're looking at it in terms of an investment, the potential profit from the app store will outweigh any costs for the initial purchase of Mac hardware.
My point was that I'm developing for BOTH Android and iOS, so while the OP might be developing for Android, I have access to that same market AND the 100+million iOS users.
1) Don't file for a patent 2) Get the idea stolen by $LARGE_CORP 3) Try to sue $LARGE_CORP 4) Get dragged in court for years 5) ??? 6) Drop the suit due to lack of patent
That's pretty silly, so someone else is simply going to profit off of his hard work rather than himself.
If that's what floats your boat.

Preemptive multitasking is a feature of the kernel which iOS fully supports, it however restricts access to it for regular applications except through a small set of APIs.
As a complete aside, there's a fascinating story emerging over amateur fusion scientists. Apparently, ITER expects amateurs to make some useful discoveries, and several amateurs have made claims of achieving some nuclear fusion events. This would put fusion technology in the same state as garage computing was in the early 1970s.
Fascinating to a point, there is a large community of amateur scientists who have made what are called <url:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fusor>
The results you obtain can easily be exported as a plain text database or put into spreadsheet, considering they are tables with numbers for pressure, velocity, temperature, etc after all... Your 3D modeling data will most likely come in as some sort of open standard anyways. The files aren't nearly as important as the raw data.
I don't see the vendor lock in, care to clue me in?
Sorry, but trying to understand the results of a CFD simulation require a solid understanding of fluid mechanics and an understanding of shear stress, which in turn requires a solid understanding of calculus and differential equations.
On that note, JavaFoil is pretty nice. It gives you some decent numerical results for airfoil testing. I used it in one of my college fluids classes to help with some airfoil calculations.
Not really, CD-Adapco was handing out free licenses to students. I had a continuous 4 year license throughout college for StarCD. If you ask them nicely I'm sure they would provide you with a free copy for educational use.
You've been simulated to die in our ongoing war with Eastasia, please report to the gassing chambers promptly to prevent the simulation from experiencing temporal improbabilities.

Link is fine to visit.
Is it? The vast majority of mobile phones including Apples iPhone/iPod/iPad devices have hardware decoding of H.264. Can the same be said of VP8?
Well, besides being a free to use standard, what advantages does VP8 have over H.264?

Why do people like you always have to come in and try to polarize an issue along political lines?
My point was that I'm developing for BOTH Android and iOS, so while the OP might be developing for Android, I have access to that same market AND the 100+million iOS users.
As opposed to that free PC you use to develop on?
$99/year richer than me? I doubt that.
But hey, I'm developing on Android too so at the end of the day I'll just have 100million+ more potential customers than you.

I'm pretty sure iOS supports preemptive multitasking, it just doesn't expose that functionality to developers completely...
I'm an iPad user and I have developer access to my device... Granted I had to pay $99 for it, I can do almost anything with it.
You sound like a leecher.
Perfect advice, you should follow it!

Or I could link to the Isaac Asimov story which it's based on.

Might have something to do with the billions upon billions of billions of billions of atoms that need to be simulated.
The more processing power one has, the finer the simulation parameters.

What's free in this world?
Yes, this would be interesting. It might even be nice to be able to use certain iOS apps on OS X since many of them are very useful utilities.
