I don't doubt that. The problem, of course, is that they'll run Android.

I wasn't commenting on the game, but the tech. It's a fast-paced full 3d game with dynamic lighting. That was the point. JS is not a serious limitation to apps and games on the platform.

I'm sure that, if we wait long enough, an example more to your liking will pop up in the marketplace.

It seems to work just fine. I have a ZTE Open -- which makes low-end phones look futuristic -- running FFOS. There are some pretty impressive games that run just fine on that antique hardware. Asteroid Mania is my go-to example, as it's the only (I think?) 3d game on the platform. It's not something you'd expect would work well in HTML5, let alone on a seriously low-end phone.

Yeah, I know all the JS sucks memes, but it should be obvious by that that they're simply not true.

Unrelated, but I feel the need to say it anyway: This whole thing reminds me of all the folks complaining about how old BB apps were all Java while praising Android.

No.

Where you guys come up with the nonsense?

Nonsense. It would appear that the majority of the people who lack that understanding are those who complain that the public are confused!. It's probably because the only people who raise a fuss over this are not scientists, but laypersons.

Yeah, I've seen other scientists get it wrong. It drives me batty. The dirty little secret is that this sort of thing isn't emphasized in some fields. I wouldn't expect, for example, a physicist to know or even care about the difference. A sociologist, however, had better damn well know the difference as it's far more relevant to them.

Let's be honest here. The only reason you bring that up is that it was a popular talking point when the creation/evolution "debate" was relevant to you. Can you tell me why you believe that it's a problem? What would change if this "problem" no longer existed? How do you know?

It's not science or scientists so much as it is the thundering hoard of scientifically illiterate science cheerleaders -- the self-appointed elite defenders of "science".

They're worse than creationists.

Yes, because if we know anything it's that you need to lie to people about science because a few nutters might post nonsense on the internet.

It was to help the slower folks, like you, to better understand the argument he was making.

I guess it wasn't help enough.

How about that. Even atheists can be laughably irrational.

Lol, okay. Whatever you say.

Read the study? I'm impressed when someone here takes the time to read the summary!

Or you could just buy a better device and toss in an SD Card. Carry a few around with you if you need more. They're very small.

I can write a book with a telegraph key as well. That doesn't make it as good as a word processor.

If that's not to your liking, try this: I can finger-paint on my tablet yet Adobe is not concerned about losing my future business.

WebOS didn't die, it was murdered.

Why do you think it was a bad idea?

Really? They work just fine on my BlackBerry and FireFox OS phones. Chrome and FireFox for Android have had support for a while as well.

iOS seems to be the big stand-out here. Though they do support WebGL in iAds and I think you can enable it in the browser if you jailbreak.
