   I don't even own an iPhone. I hope that answers your question.

   Gizmodo not only ruined it for Apple and the engineer, it also ruined the fun for Apple fans like myself anxiously looking forward to the rumored-filled days just before the next device unveiling in June. :-/

   "(CNN) -- Lars and Jens Rasmussen were broke and jobless -- with only $16 between them -- when they made it big in the Web world by selling their idea for Google Maps." SOURCE: http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/10/27/rasmussen.brothers.google..

   If anything, I think it will encourage private enterprise to work harder.

   This is what worries me the most: http://twitter.com/neiltyson/status/12041303534 Until we get out of our comfort zone, we won't make much progress.

   I speak objective-c. I like it's verbosity. I couldn't care less about the recent changes in the toc partly because I knew this was coming.

    Of course programming isn't just about using APIs. But, writing apps for the iPhone is.

    I think what you mean is "productive" not "creative." If thats what you mean, I am with you. Obviously the more abstracted out low level details are, the more easier it is to churn out code, thus making you more productive. But, given that

    As much as I'd like to agree with you, that is simply not going to happen. Do you seriously think companies/developers like EA, Cultured Code, Omni Group etc are going to leave the app store just because apps written in Scheme or Actionscri

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean to imply that people unwilling to learn 'Objective-C' are lazy people. Instead, my argument was that if someone is so keen on developing apps for the platform, learning Objective-c (or C, C++ for that matter) is a n

    While there are a lot of hobbyists on the app store, there are a lot of people doing actual business -- and they make up for a majority of the noteworthy apps (apps like Things, Tap Tap Revenge, games from EA come to mind). I doubt their qu

    If people are are that enthusiastic about developing for the iphone os, is learning objective-c that big of a deal. Really?

    While I understand his arguments, I fail to understand how not letting people use x or y language hinders innovation. If they were blocking people from using certain APIs (which they are btw, but its their platform -- they do what they want

    I can smell a new iPad OS (or at least a new variant of iPhone OS) coming this fall.

    This will be the third time I will be downloading the 2.2 GB SDK on my slow-*ss network in just the last seven days. First the 3.2 GM, then the 3.2 official version, and now 4 beta. Phew.

    As you begin your 3rd year, here are a few things I wish for you: 1. May you be able to work with your brother, Google Apps, to allow SSL support for custom domains. 2. May you be able to lift your 1 MB cap per urlfetch request to at least

    I wonder if Apple could drop the bomb and say they're bringing flash to the platform (since so many people are whining day and night about it) I hope not. On a more positive note, I hope they have multi-tasking and some kind of dashboard fe

    While I do doubt they sold 700k iPads in just a day, it is certainly possible that a lot of people opted to pre-ordered their devices online.

    I fully agree with the author. However, the day he talks about isn't most likely going to be tomorrow. It will either be this summer (when OS 4.0 with multitasking comes out) or this fall (when the iPad will get a camera + multitasking). Be

    To the all the people whining here and else where on the inter-webs: Is the iPad special? Heck yes it is. Show me a tablet computer other than the iPad that is as polished, has as much of a vibrant app store and does most of the things you'
