And you slashdot their homepage at the same time? Poor admins!

The most strange point of yesterday for me was iCloud: cloud storage without native apps. Everybody talks about cloud with web apps and all (and that's why they call it cloud "computing"), but with new iCloud API Apple is trying to provide a cloud experience to it's users and keeping it's native apps at the same time.

Apple enjoys it's famous "app gap" when it comes to native app, and it also has a great income for them. More importantly: it locks users in.

I'm certainly interested in web apps, and really love developing and using them much more than native apps in most cases, but I should admit Apple's move is smart in keeping both cloud and it's native apps. Time will show how they will succeed in this.

That's shit! Why are you suggesting new sanctions and why everybody +1-ed this as "Interesting"? The government here doesn't give a shit about any of these and the only ones who actually suffer these restrictions are us Iranian people who live in the country. Our government already does enough silly things to us, why do you suggest accompanying them with more powerful, international silly things against us?

"I decided to just bite the bullet, and call the next version 3.0. It will get released close enough to the 20-year mark, which is excuse enough for me, although honestly, the real reason is just that I can no longe rcomfortably count as high as 40," said Linus.

Oh, please, don't take this claim seriously. Ask almost any Iranian and they'll tell you the truth: he's lying. Very simple. After all, nobody knows our government better than ourselves. In the similar cases, first of all, a security-related officer comes and says we've arrested the spies and other people involved with the crime (even if all the experts say this virus is about destruction, not spying). Then they arrest a few people unrelated to the matter (usually guilty of other things, sometimes innocent). Then the media forget the thing and we're ready for the next spies. Maybe I am a spy myself, writing our internal country culture and information on a spying website (surely sponsored by CIA, hosted in Tel Aviv).

If you're going to take Android's route, and you need just one book I recommend this. I'm managing a team of three Android developers and this is one book everybody in the team is fighting for! Don't look at the title, you can start learning Android with it.

Sometimes you don't launch a product for the use of the customers who are willing to buy it, but to show off that your brand is a leader and ahead of the others, giving reason to people for loving your brand, and helping the sales of your other products.

I don't think so, not because MS have been making phone OS for a decade, but because iOS and Android are so young too. After all, Android is just two years old and iPhone has not finished its fourth year yet. Indeed, they've been doing great in these short years, but that doesn't mean they've guaranteed they're eternal success in the mobile industry.

Do you still remember the term "netbook"? That's a good use for Chrome OS. Though it will be nice if we could see Android and Chrome OS for different tablet devices. After all, "tablet" is going to be meaning something like "computer," and having different OSes for different tablets isn't that bad.

Also, Google itself have admitted that Android currently isn't the OS for tablets. They say version 3.0 will be their "tablet-friendly" Android. Maybe that's why Motorola says it won't enter tablet market until 2010. They say they want to deliver a device thats "competitive in the marketplace." I guess that means they can't compete with iPad with Android 2.2.

Content providers somewhat have to agree on whatever pricing policy Apple forces them. Apple have been so successful for the last ten years that companies don't think they can afford losing its platform to sell their product or service. If Steve Jobs suggested something similar to music companies in 2000 for iTunes and iPod they would have kicked him out of their offices.
