Comment: What about the Nuclear Waste problem? (Score 1) 288

I am dead set against nuclear power until they can solve the nuclear waste problem. I know, breeder reactors, blah blah blah, they don't exist in this country and I have not heard of a plan to build one. Let's see, the choice is between CO2 that will go away in my lifetime (either naturally or with some help), and radioactive waste that will last several thousands of years...

Novell Bringing .Net Developers To Apple iPad 315

Posted by timothy

GMGruman writes "Paul Krill reports that Apple's new iPad could be easier to write apps for, thanks to Novell's MonoTouch development platform, which helps .Net developers create code for the iPad and fully comply with Apple's licensing requirements — without having to use Apple's preferred Objective-C. This news falls on the footsteps of news that Citrix will release an iPad app that lets users run Windows sessions on the iPad. These two developments bolster an argument that the iPad could eventually displace the netbook."

I like the looks, the center "iCar" console screen, and it's unlikely I'll ever drive anywhere further than 300 miles. For any significant distance, I'm on a plane.

The price doesn't seem that bad, but I bet it's closer to $60K by launch. Even then, I will probably take a look at one.

I personally don't like the big video screen being used for controls. In my "analog" car I can change the radio station, adjust the temperature, and turn on the AC with convenient knobs and buttons that I know where to find without even looking and I get good tactile response. My in-law's Lexus has a smaller screen to do this and it was always in the wrong mode and difficult for the driver to quickly change the temperature or radio due to having to change modes. That said, the screen would be nice for watching videos, but please, not to control the car's functions.
