Will WebOS be cannibalized for parts?

There's nothing inherantly wrong with using int and long etc... but when you're depending on a rollover or have some reason that the size of a variable is important, it's much more portable to use uint8_t, uint16_t, etc. The c99 fixed size integral types were invented for a reason. they help architectural portability.

It doesn't have to be application specific. It could be implemented at the toolkit level. gtk, for instance, gets lists of all menu entries in a given application.

granted it would only work in this case for gtk applications, but that is the majority of applications that currently ship with gnome, so there you go.

protip: Try Launchy in windows and Gnome-Do in linux. they do the same thing as the 'run' shortcuts, but with completion and prediction and pretty icons.

You can do all the things you could do in COBOL in any new language. You can still write things in COBOL, Algol or FORTRAN if you like.

Sure, if you want to do new things, you may have to learn something. them's the breaks.
