The game is due april 2011. So why are we talking about it now? What does Epic Games hope to gain by creating buzz a year before they've actually got something people can buy?
And no problem at all for commenting on my spelling or grammar. I'm not a native English speaker and I wish more people would make remarks about my writing so that I may learn from it.
Exactly. Apple never rejected anything from Opera because they never submitted anything. But of course, that doesn't make a nice headline, so that was never printed in those words. Everybody loves a rejection story after all, so why kill the mood?
That's the same story as posted above. Basically the story is "Opera CEO says something". But have they submitted an actual app to Apple? I don't read any of the sort.
This is what I'm talking about. Opera's CEO says Apple won't approve it, based on his assumptions or who knows what. But have they actually submitted it to Apple to see what would happen? I don't think so.
If by "better" you mean "faster" than I agree, but if you mean "better looking" then I wonder if you need a pair of glasses. To me websites look a lot better in Safari!
If would be nice if you actually provided some kind of source for this statement. As far as I know, Opera has never actually submitted something to Apple before this.
How wouldn't they? There are already loads of browsers available from the App Store. Now Opera has joined them. There's really nothing strange at all about this. Apple doesn't force people to use WebKit.
For creating such a buzz around their browser. They've accused Apple for not allowing their browser on Apple's platform, but in reality they've never submitted an app for review until now. And it seems it hass passed without any hassle and is now available for everyone, so there's really nothing going on at all. But nonetheless everybody is writing about it like it's a freaking miracle, which is of course great for Opera.
There are loads of Javascript frameworks out there to basically give developers any functionality they might require. Speed isn't the issue anymore since Javascript engines have become multithreaded bytecode interpreters and as of late even offering hardware acceleration.
I think the main thing is that Flash will enable iPhone development on Windows. I think that doesn't fit into Apple's strategy and this is their way of locking Adobe out.
But on the other hand, more apps is always something Apple is going to be interested in and in the end, who cares how they were created?
I'm not saying that there isn't a lot of crap in the App Store too. But there's quality there that's absolutely unmatched on Android. Games like DrawRace, Flight Control, I Dig It, Racer, GeoDefense, not to mention classics like Lemonade Tycoon or SimCity... all truly fun and great games. That sort of stuff just isn't there for Android.

I think both ME2 and GOW2 are much better than the first parts.
Ah, that's actually a pretty good reason. I hadn't thought of that.

Heh, pretty cool now that you mention it.

But both Opera and Mozilla have (until now) never ever submitted an app for review to Apple.
So now I have to prove they didn't do something? Right...
renders pages better than safari

It's available right now from Apple's App Store on every iPhone.

What's the point of changing how everything works?
Why?
There are loads of Javascript frameworks out there to basically give developers any functionality they might require. Speed isn't the issue anymore since Javascript engines have become multithreaded bytecode interpreters and as of late even offering hardware acceleration.
What's wrong with Javascript?
Web apps just can't compete with real apps
This will be a funny quote in a few years.
The thing is though that most obscure blogs or scam sites tend to load a lot faster than sites of big corporations.
But bandwidth does concern them. With H264, videos can use half the bandwith of Theora and look somewhat the same.
For one thing OS X is a *nix, with full shell/root access. Tricky to lock that down
Well they seem to have locked up the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad pretty good though. Same OS X kernel, same Unix, just a different userland.

So... what about Unity? What about Corona? Can't use those anymore also? I really don't think so.
I have no idea, I guess it is one of those "corporate enterprise features". I never get or use those.
