Iphone had hardware acceleration since launch. Android finally got it with honeycomb but the app developer had to invoke it to use it. From what I've read ice cream sandwich has it enabled for all apps. Finally. Like just under the wire of 2012 finally whereas iphone had this in 2007. Yes Iphone is just one hardware platform which makes things easier but still. Android should have had this a long time ago.

So unless it has a monster cpu you're not getting a smooth as glass experience on ANY android phone/tablet that's gingerbread or earlier.

I thought I read RIM claimed that how their network is setup in such a way that the encryption is done on the device and they don't have a means of accessing the contents?

I thought the two main criteria for a patent are: It hasn't been done before (prior art) and it's non-trivial. Like as in holy crap! What you just made there is awesome!! Please patent how you did this so society at large benefits from this and it is never lost!!

I don't think a swipe to start using a touch interface qualifies...

It doesn't sound like your apps need it but there's not much mention of hardware acceleration, which I'm probably more excited about that than other new features. It's not about eye candy, but touch displays typically have menus and icons moving around so responsiveness matters.

I'm hoping it will be relatively easy for developers to take advantage of this for current apps.

Why isn't multi-user support not more important? Maybe not so much in phones, but definitely tablets. If I am at my bro's and my nephew wants to play angry birds on my tablet, I should be able to hand it to him with confidence that he can't see my emails etc. And maybe a limited user (guest) account that can't install/uninstall stuff etc. Why does it have to be like win98 again?!

I had life circumstances that stressed me beyond belief. I'm talking 24/7 constant worry and dread to extremes I've never felt in my life for over 2 months straight. Shortly after I noticed I started balding and I've always had a full head of hair. Yes, it could be just a coincidence but I've read there is such a thing as stress related baldness and if it's short-term hair will usually return. Also, this stressful episode of my life is over but I feel entirely burnt-out as a result.

I exercise and try and eat right, and I can still do my workouts and feel good while working out, but outside of that I feel I have energy for just about nothing. I've read about adrenal fatigue and it sounds like what I have but I've read this is not a recognized medical condition thus there is no treatment.

They say stress ages the body, well if true I feel like I aged a year in a span of a month. It was absolutely horrible. Anyway, I feel like a shell of my former self and I'm concerned I'm not going to bounce back.

Honestly Doc, I never exerted or pushed by body. Not once I tell ya! Why is everything breaking down? It should be like brand new!

How do you only get more of your last years? You will be healthier in your middle years. I'm 41, I'm certainly not a top athlete, but I can run 20-30 minutes easily, I'm stronger than I have ever been with weight-training, look great and have lots of energy. Compared to my 40 something counter-parts, I look almost 10 years younger. Yes, genetics plays a big part as well, but if I never did any of this, I wouldn't like to imagine how I'd look and feel.

Personally, I think sitting on your ass is a killer, but hey to each his own I guess.

Just curious what people think. You might be skeptical of the business model but I'm thinking more in the short-term. For ex, google hit their peak stock wise in about a year & 1/2 and it's just been up and down since. I noticed this with a lot of them, that you want to get in early, and leave when the timing is right. Yeah I know, easier said that done.

So I'm just wondering what people think of the business as an investment. I wonder what price an average joe will be able to buy in at. I believe google used a dutch ipo model that actually made it possible for an average person to buy in at the ipo price and not some inflated after-market price.

sorry for this empty post, i want to watch this later. why is there no means of flagging a post?

is it this book published in 1979?

I love cg but tell me why do 99% of 'photo-realistic' models have the 1000 mile stare? never mind conveying any emotion. It seems only the simpler models (e.g. toy story) can convey emotion. Yes there are some examples, but they are still so few and far between.

I agree but from what I've read, isn't 3g bad with latency?
