Why Apple Will Never Permit Adobe Flash on the iPhone

Comment in News (3 diggs, 0 replies) - 9 hr 53 min ago - by Roger Strong
Windows Mobile isn't slow at all - and I'm using it on an old HTC Apache. It's the old 1980's Mac vs PC debate all over again. The PC was open, flexible and adaptable, trying to do anything - but therefor harder to use. The Mac was closed and less adap … (see comment)

Asus to Launch World's 'Fastest' Smartphone

Yeah, but "world's fastest" usually includes the time it takes to drain the battery. Making a fast phone or PDA processor is easy. Making a *practical* one is not. (see comment)

Why Apple Will Never Permit Adobe Flash on the iPhone

The HTC Touch Pro is a PDA, not just a phone with lame PDA-like features. As such, a pen interface is welcome. It allows you to have drop-down lists, tap-and-hold right-click menus and other things that don't work well in a finger-only UI. Most apps fo … (see comment)

We did cut back. NASA funding was slashed and Saturn V production capped even before the first moon landing, with the same reasoning cited for doing so. It's been 40 years. Presumably your terrestrial problems are solved by now, and we can get on with … (see comment)

PETA Releases ‘Cooking Mama: Mama Kills Animals’ Videogame

Comment in News (41 diggs, 3 replies) - 17 hr 43 min ago - by Roger Strong
I have a personal theory that PETA is run by the meat industry. An ad campaign a few years ago demeaned murdered women in B.C. A PETA billboard in Boston compared the suffering of cattle to that of Jews in Nazi Germany. They tried to put up a billboard i … (see comment)

Communist Party strategist maps out Obama's agenda

There's a lot more talk of Americans wanting to move to Canada than the other way round. The few Canadians who want to live in the US are generally wealthy - and can stay in the wealthy areas - and keep their access to Canadian health care. (see comment)

Canadian spend less per capita on health care than Americans. They even spend less *taxes* on health care than Americans - including Americans who get denied health care anyway. (see comment)

Kenya’s first 8-lane modern highway born

That's a myth. Yes, such a mega-highway is planned for Texas, and it's as bad as they say. But it's only in Texas. The NASCO corridor from Mexico to Canada is about harmonized regulations on *existing* highways - there's no new highway construction inv … (see comment)

They had their Germans too. At gunpoint. The large American space budgets of the early 1960s were a knee-jerk reaction to Soviet firsts: First satellite, first man in space, first spacewalk, etc. But once the American Gemini program was underway (firs … (see comment)
