umm, none on ipad since it is not available... thank goodness!

also, mozilla is assing h264 support to its android firefox. flash is dead, unless you like banner ads.

flash wasn't an option on the devices because jobs had the vision to see that flash was a dead end on mobile. five years later, adobe has conceded the point. even given 5 years of smartphone development, flash still runs poorly on new phones. adobe should go back to the drawing board a la ibm and really think hard about what they do well.

no, i didn't say that you did. i'm saying that your "logic" could apply equally well to using racial slurs. "what's the problem? everybody knows what I'm talking about!". Obviously that argument would be stupid, and by the transitive property, your argument above must be stupid as well. QED!

looks like steve jobs was right... if they have to choose between shipping a crappy product or not shipping a product, better to choose not to sully the company's name. you're right that websites will migrate away from flash... win win!

geek's credo. "model(i+1) will have better features than model(i)! you'd be a fool to buy now! iterate ad infinitum.

woosh!

citation needed on this malarkey. CD was sized to fit in a suit pocket? that sounds silly at best. i'd like to see the design documents on that choice! might as well show me a unicorn too while you're at it. who puts CDs in suit pockets? that's like saying the 3.5"floppy was designed to be able to fit into a pb&j sandwich.

lies. we all know you're a mini.

this is exquisite bs. a new iphone costs $200 with contract, the same as (or less than) new premium android phones like the Galaxy. There are also models at the $100 price point and free with contract. How can you call it an overpriced luxury good? This is a tired meme that used to be true 5 years ago. Also, sorry, iPad is 90% of the market with no challengers on the horizon, and ipad mini will eat nex7's lunch.

The title of the post should be, "In Vietnam: being a blogger could land you in jail; setting yourself on fire could cost you your life".

Or, you could just use racial slurs and everybody would know who you're talking about. You would also appear to be an inbred redneck. Ou choice of language says a lot about us.

Example of commodities of scale. Shipping container = 20 tons. Mining operation capacity = 100 million tons. I one day you could mine as much ore as would be 5 million shipping containers. To understand that number, a reasonably busy sea port will handle 1 million containers in a year.

disregard this comment... slashdot stripped out my triangle bracket symbol... clarified above.

omg, here we go, are the rules of language descriptive or proscriptive? can't have a day on slashdot without this conversation. if you want to have an informed discussion on race, you might as well use accurate terms. just cause these subjects are mangled by some people, doesn't mean that we can't aim for a higher standard. hint: the people who don't care about hispanic != latino are usually tea partiers who assume all brown people are either "hispanic" or "arab" and should gtfo!! fyi arab != muslim != persian. This distinction has enormous implications for foreign policy, and needs to be made.
