I find most modern phones to be too big, I need something that actually fits in my pocket. If the screen is too small for the task I'm doing, I move to a larger device. Increasing screen size to do more is a bandage fix for a larger user interaction problem.
but NodeJS is making strides these days. And despite a lot of talk otherwise, JS isn't going anywhere. The code reusability factor is really nice, the module ecosystem is growing by leaps and bounds. The framework side of things is where I think Node is currently still lacking. There are some options available, but in my experience so far the 'complete package' (RoR, Django) isn't arrived yet.
The last bold point is my favorite.
"we harness the local knowledge of our 60 million satnav customers, who can make corrections through TomTom Map Share."
Using people who apparently cannot navigate on their own is on par with Webster hiring partially literate editors.
Seriously? It is that hard to understand that large scale well written programs can be accomplished in JS? I guess you click the 'Load HTML version' link on gmail (or equivalent)?
And on a side note, I program not engineer. Maybe thats the problem,... everyone is trying to engineer with JS.
Welp, I don't know what I have been doing wrong for the last 5 years but I seem to have little problem making large scale, desktop quality applications in Javascript. With frameworks like ExtJS available it even easy now. Maybe you are just not a very good JS developer?
This summery throws into sharp relief the typical misconception of Javascript. The language is not the limiting factor, its the browsers that implement it. Dart will do nothing more then fragment this even further.
Well hey now, guys, look. I do not want to do anything illegal here... but I would kill somebody... in front of their own mama... to get a/. T-shirt. And if any witnesses testify against me, I'll gouge their eyes out.
Otherwise you could come visit the Skype office in Palo Alto.
If nothing else comes from this, hopefully Microsoft will help to fix the outstanding Internet Explorer bugs. Congratulations again to the jQuery team, keep up the great work.
How is this different from anyone else writing a plugin to interface with their system? If I have some proprietary backend that I extend jQuery to work with, what use is this to anyone else?
But as a web app developer, isn't getting patches for any browser useful? If you look at the jQuery bug track, many of the outstanding bugs are IE related. It will be very nice if Microsoft takes it upon themselves to fix these, benefiting anyone using the framework in the real world.

I've yet to crack a screen while having my phone in my pocket. I also still use sub-5" screen.

I know and I hate it.
the screen is stupidly large. Guess it will work for gaming though.
That is all.
Most at least.
bears.... vs monkeys!
LASERS!

is it didn't land in Florida first.
There are several other great 3d printers out there. The Up! I first started using is still a fantastic printer.
I'd have called one Planet.
Was thinking the same. Should just be contentious maybe?

Pfft! Really? Pay for it? I am the poster child for retail is for suckers. Its just a T-shift if you pay for it, its shwag if its given to you.

Still a bad idea, isn't there still a know bug that totally breaks the Firebug console? Hope no web developers are using it.
