even if you use only the web fontend of GMail, you could setup an email client like Thunderbird with IMAP, if you only care to backup the emails and not the labels hierarchy, just tell GMail the only label you want to publish on IMAP is "All Mail" and setup you email client to sync that folder
this could be solved requesting the lock passkey/password/pattern before installing (no needed when updating), that way you can lend your phone to anybody and they will not be able to install any spying tool
Nice, another Steve Jobs church priest. Apple is not prioritizing the user, is prioritizing its 30% cut for doing less that 30% of the work of an application (bandwidth + credit card transaction does not cost that much). Apple just want developers tied to the Mac OS APIs, without any other source of income from another platform, that way the easy 30% is assured
If you require us to waste battery power...
// start new thread while (1) {// do stupid intensive calculation }
there you have, deprecate C/C++/Objective C because I made you waste battery power, It is not my fault as a developer, It is the developers tool fault
You are not interested on Java applications on your platform of choice, let me tell you what will think my customers with Macs, Doctors (I am one of the developers of Healthcare Information System - HIS, on Java, fully integrated with the native plataform via JNI when needed) when I say them sorry, the software we provide is not supported anymore on your platform of choice, but no problem the other 99% of Doctors are accessing the HIS using Windows and Linux.
I am sure the OpenJDK team will step up with new implementations of Java on Mac, but not sure if it will be on time to OS X Lion if Apple really decides to remove it, the first step is done, deprecation
and do not tell me rewrite millions of lines of code in Objective C and destroy the portability
It is not better to know that there is one old 1.4.2 VM, so you can push your app vendor to update the app or switch to another, than 10 VMs bundled with their apps you do not know about?
If Oracle step up and deliver a Java 7 for OS X, you will still be able to bundle the JVM with your application to be on the Mac App Store (until megalomaniac Steve Jobs change the rules again), the same with Mono, python, Ruby... Read Miguel de Icaza
We clearly have to take this to the next step as MonoMac is merely a binding to.NET. We are going to have to extend MonoDevelop to create fully self-contained applications that embed both your application, any library dependencies that it needs as well as the Mono runtime.
The above really had not been my priority, as far as I was concerned "Download Mono and Install it" was a perfectly suitable solution. So you have Apple to thank for my change of heart.
A security nightmare on my opinion, the same VM code duplicated on each application, and consuming more machine resources because there is no shared runtime
So the bug is the absence of an easily accessible signout button, no that the app does not exit, the grand parent is right Android was designed so apps do not need to be closed by the user, because apps without background threads are not wasting resources, and apps must expect that the system will kill them if needed. Apps on Android that really kill the process are not following the Android way of work, but for some kind of apps that is right (games with exit button for example)
Google Talk process does not ends when you press back, it still is running, even if you press the signout button.
and you are tied to the Verizon network (using the Verizon market) for the time you want to use that application you paid, move to another network, buy the app again, no thanks
and how the current generation of PS fanboys that are becoming old will teach the new generation of fanboys if their children want a Wii?. Now seriously, Sony is just selling something to avoid that people that already have a PS3 go and buy a Wii
Unreal Tournament for the PS3 allows to install and play mods cooked for it from the PC version, Unreal engine has a scripting language, so technically, it allows downloading code, the on disk release needed manual installation from USB drive, but the updated 2.0 introduced a mod browser and downloader
Sony won because they managed to delay for nearly 4 years the break in the PS3 security, They are not losing money on the console right now, If this would happened early Sony could have lost a lot of money, losing possible game sales on people that probably never had the intention of buying a PS3 because it was not pirate ready is not significant in my opinion, pirates never intended to pay
replying to myself, I need to read before submit. The last sentence must be "is funny that they say they will not sue and it is indirectly their product (Novell/MS agreements)"
I think the one that it is being stupid is other person and not me, Oracle is suing Google because of the Open Source implementation of Dalvik. MS is saying they will not sue users of MonoDroid that is a commercial/closed source implementation of CLR where MS is probably profiting, is is funny that they will say they will not sue because it is indirectly their product (Novell/MS agreements)
MonoDroid is not open/free software, is a commercial and closed product based on Mono. Novell probably pay MS some royalties for it under their agreements, so Microsoft saying they will not sue and they probably are profit from it is funny
YouTube is providing a new embedding template (at least testing it) that is just an iframe, people still are using the old (stable) way to embeed youtube videos
Right there is no patent grant, we still do not know if Dalvik use those patents, of if they are enforceable/valid, The JRL just tell you Sun had no problem with people learning from Java and using what they learned from it (from memory no copy & paste), so the Oracle copyright claims sound a little fishy to me (not talking about the patent claims). I will wait the time when Google ask them "OK what copyright code are you talking about?", and see if Oracle shows it or do an SCO stunt and say nothing
That is not my point. to use JRL was only needed to download the source code, even before OpenJDK, and say Agree to the JRL. I think it is pretty obvious that Sun allowed people to download the full source code, learn from it and create an "independent" implementation (no copy & paste), they only recommend to wait a few weeks after you studied the source code to start working in your implementation. That is the point I am making
Just for the record: What Sun said (now Oracle still says) about reading Oracle Java source code and creating a clean room implementation: JAVA RESEARCH LICENSE FAQ Question 18
18. Does the JRL prevent me from being able to create an independent open source implementation of the licensed technology?
The JRL is not a tainting license and includes an express "residual knowledge" clause which says you're not contaminated by things you happen to remember after examining the licensed technology. The JRL allows you to use the source code for the purpose of JRL-related activities but does not prohibit you from working on an independent implementation of the technology afterwards. Obviously, if your intention is to create an "independent" implementation of the technology then it is inappropriate to actively study JRL source while working on such an implementation. It is appropriate, however, to allow some decent interval of time (e.g. two weeks) to elapse between working on a project that involves looking at some JRL source code and working on a project that involves creating an independent implementation of the same technology

That or because it is based on dosbox, that is GPL licensed, and we already know that Apple App Store and GPL does not mix
