There have been MVC frameworks for HTML/Javascript clients for many years. I've create a few HTML LOB application that have DI, unit testing of controllers and Moq'ing of data.

There is no better satisfaction in deploying a new application version in less than a few minutes at a corporate global enterprise system. The days of loading thousands of client applications are coming to an end.

Reducing the number of time a company report their finances would only hurt the individual investor. Without insider information, how would I know if a company was in dire straights? Regular public updates on a company's performance helps to level the investment playing field.

There were wide swings in the stock market before computer based trading algorithms (ex. Crash of 1929). Reducing transactions probably would not make any changes to our current stock market volatility.

At our company it is impossible for a group manager to hire employees. All new hires have to be approved by high level executives. These executives usually have no clue what resources are needed to keep up with the work at the lower levels. They will typically either reject the request or hold out until the next fiscal quarter. The group manager is forced to work extra hours to fill in the gaps in the interim.

That is why I've been out of management for the past three years. It is insane be a group manager and have no authority to hire as needed.

What is the difference between Native Code Technology and ActiveX controls? I hope that Native Code Technology as you described never see the light of day. The main task of of a web browser it to properly render the standard HTML tags for the user. The latest version of the web browsers are actually doing a good job at displaying standard HTML. The last thing we need is to revert back to working with proprietary plug-in UI controls.

Hey! I thought my wife was quite happy knowing that I enjoyed the dinner she just cooked. Maybe I should start paying her for the service?

I would consider buying only if Angry Birds is available for PSP2!

We need better game design and not the fastest hardware.

I truly don't understand the cost savings by not including a recovery DVD. Here is a rough estimate on costs associated with each option.

* Include DVD recovery disc - 10 cents per disc

* Customer calls in to have recovery DVD shipped - 5 dollars per disc (includes support call, shipping and handling)

The computer company is counting at least 1 in 50 people will not call their support line to recover their PC. Knowing the typical home user, this is an extremely high ratio. I suspect that the actual ratio would actually be 1 in 5 or lower. The combination of MS Windows and a home user would usually lead to an unstable OS within a year.
