Did you RTFA? Any idiot would at least read the article before writing 3 paragraphs asking questions about it.

I;ve never used vba/.net, but Objective-C dynamic typing isn't a nightmare. :D Objective-C was heavily influenced by Smalltalk, like Ruby.

I don't quite understand how I was "taken to school" by someone who obviously knows very little about Objective-C and C++ UI programming, for that matter.

I don't think objective-c has much of a learning curve at all- and being a dynamicly typed language makes it a joy to develop in. I'm an iOS developer and I used to be a Java dev. C++ is certainly more difficult and less suited for GUI development. Objective-C has some first-class frameworks.

awesome!

Higher performance? By what measure? Last I checked Android's entire UI is predominantly CPU-bound. iOS renders _everything_ using opengl- that's why paging between screens of apps is so damn smooth and is able to track your finger perfectly on even the original iphone. iOS apps are also far more optimized for performance (objective-c/llvm) and for battery (close attention paid to app lifecycle/background tasks, etc).

I'm sure it was an emergency landing done with an abundance of caution. They expected to have GPS, GPS went away so they landed. It's not like they were on an attack mission. It's not like they were forced to land in hostile territory. They maintained control over the siutation rather than venture into the unknown during a military exercise.

Paultards.

What a lousy bunch of nerds.

What is 'Insightful' about this post? This is your standard 'fuck the man!" BS post with no substance.

Enhanced interrogation?

Apple must defend its trademarks, or risk losing them. Apple owns a trademark on 'AppStore' and amazon used just that. Calling it absurd is absurd.

iTunes already has individual episode purchases available for $2 each and you get to keep it. Season passes range from $10 - $40 and a bit more for HD. Compared to a $90+ cable bill a month $2 an episode and being able to keep them forever isn't such a bad deal. After all, for $90+ for cable, you're only "renting" anyway.
