iPad goes international tomorrow, IIRC. It will be interesting to see how sales do.

OUCH... http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderd...ng-with-flash/
Time Warner and NBC told Apple to shove it, they are sticking with Flash and have no plans to change that. Looks like a good chunk of programming (NBC, Hulu, TBS, CW, CNN, TNT, TCM, Cartoon, etc etc) is never coming to the iPad. |

yay! so 10+ more apps to install and manage. What a joke.
..and btw they haven't confirmed they are creating apps... that is just speculation at this point. Hulu is the likely first app you'll see... and it may well be subscription based. |

In regards to the article.. I agree that MS is crap.. I just don't see why he would compare MS and Apple... compare HP and Apple or Dell and Apple... those are more appropriate comparisons. Apple was my first computer.. I would love to see them dominate the industry the RIGHT way.. instead of this closed market, elitist bullshit. The wrong Steve is leading Apple at the moment. |

Lead UI developer for Palm just jumped to Android... Palm's biggest strength was the UI... something that Android has been weak on (causing Motorola, HTC and others to develop their own UI overlay) This is gonna be huge for Android 2.3 and beyond. |

As I have said before, I like most Apple products just fine... it's iPhone, iPad, ITunes that bug the crap out of me ... closed minded, closed market BS. Everytime a fan boy buys into their crap... God kills an open source kitten! It's true! |

Secondly, I wouldn't be calling anything NBC does a good business move. They've consistently proved they can't handle it. As for Time Warner, they're making a reeruned bet. Hell, the only reason they're wanting Flash is the one of the very reasons piracy is rampant: DRM. Flash provides them with built in DRM and commercial encoding. Quote:
Also, I'm curious as to the "overwhelming facts" that dwarf the defense of their touch products. Quote:

Meh, I think Androids biggest weakness is the UI.. it's just not as intuitive as it should be. This move should REALLY help them alot. |

Again, you make it sound like a chore. It's just as easy as a bookmark in a web browser. This is a really silly battle to pick, here. There's no "managing" to be done. I guess the apps in the Android OS are somehow different, because they just automatically know when you want to use and install them??
As for the subscription thing, it may be coming to the website, as well. They've both been talked about. |
