Folks over at tuxradar did this comparison a while ago. Here (http://www.tuxradar.com/content/browser-benchmarks-2-even-wine-beats-linux-firefox) are the results. No surprise that FF running under Wine beats native FF on linux
What with Apple not opening up the iPhone for third party software, this seems to me like taking the apple from one bully and giving it to another. The proprietary control has moved from one hands to another. But on the positive side, since we get to use some cool phones, what the heck, who cares where the control is!
I have found the book Data Structures Using C and C++ by Yedidyah Langsam,Moshe J. Augenstein,Aaron M. Tenenbaum quite useful while dealing with data structures.
An operating system is an abstraction of resource managers of various hardware-level resources: CPU, disk, etc.
As far as I can remember, the UI is also part of the OS. You are looking at the problem from a purely technical point of view. A great OS (aka. one with great memory managament, great scheduling etc.) is only as usable as it UI. Nobody is going to use an OS if its is too cumbersome to use (OK OK...I can already hear some command line afficandos screaming, but that is not the point). An average user uses more of the UI than the command line.
My point is that the UI of an OS (which is part of the OS) should be designed taking into consideration the need of people with disablities
I saw a review of these phones on one of the news channel. Fortunately they also showed prints (6 x 4) of pictures takes with the 2MP camera on the phone. It looked as good as any other print.

Well, M$ did throw 'a couple of mega bucks' to come up with Windows Vista. And everyone knows what 'merit' it had!
FYI the patent in question here was applied for in March 1994. So maybe this might not be proof enough of prior art.

How about a Toaster? Man I really miss it during the busy mornings!
