"slower" means "choppy" and is not interchangeable with "use more resources" as you suggests. I have never seen any flash content that runs choppy on my 2 GHz Macbook. Post an example and back up your claim.

iPad, as a device is a new opportunity for developers. But not an incredible one. Open up the platform, and we can consider it incredible. He calls the demand for open-computing and removal of restrictions a "nonsense" .

No camera. No mutitasking. No choice of browsers. No plugin support in browser. Runs only what apple wants. Definitely not worth carrying a 10 inch display for a crippled web experience.

"we're not seeing any inclination that Zoho or Google or Zimbra or any other of those offering fake Office capabilities can replace [Microsoft Office]" Sounds more like a generic trash talk on everything non-MS Office, than a purposeful

Does this really matter? IMHO, this is more of an ego issue to 'nerds' than selling the product in itself. The latter being the purpose of ads.

I think he is merely referring to the assertive nature of this part of essay: No, it turns out, humans are not created by God in his own image; they're just one species among many, descended not merely from apes, but from microorganisms.

What if the government wanted all dictionaries to be curse-word-free? Will the publishing companies involved just sit back and accept the move as " this is the world that we live in"?

The Diggbar is only visible to Digg users and links shared by Diggers.So if Digg users are revolting against it, that makes sense. But obvious Digg haters like John Gruber revolting against the Diggbar looks like a cheap publicity stunt to
