Yes, there were no sequels to the Matrix as far as I (choose to) remember.

.... and nobody cares.
Why is IT different? The goal makes no sense.

Yes it still has some usefulness, and always leaves the garage with about 70km

Yep, you have a good point, although I have enjoyed the car. If buying an EV today would you lease or buy? Or is it still too early?

I'm a 2011 LEAF owner, and Nissan have made the expense for a replacement battery impractical - might as well crush them. Also, In the past 8 years they haven't achieved much. Their batteries are now the some of the smallest in the market and continue to rely on air cooling, which makes them difficult to fast charge. All modern EV's are also far more efficient with larger batteries. I was hoping they would take advantage of their massive head start - but they are burning their current owners and squandered their time. I think they are finished.

as they prep for the move to ARM by 2020 for the Mac they only want to write one emulator - they only want to have to emulate AMD64 on ARM64 not x86.

Seems pretty clear.

The elephant in the room is that only the open source emulators are affected?

To those that say that no one uses floppy disk controllers - almost all VM tools are loaded into machines via floppy images.

... in the cinema walls are the answer.

Seems logical - as a Tax Payer, the data should be available to me.
Although I hope its not leveraged too heavily by the commercial sector.

Actually Yosho is right - you need to specifally target the Compact Framework.

But in regards to the Marketing/UI departments I think you are absolutley correct! I am continually surprised how a device like the iPhone with no Copy/Paste, Picture messaging, Multi-tasking or Calendar connection to Exchange can be considered a good buy for corporate people... I really think the MS marketing and UI departments need to learn a few lessons from Apple.

Point well made - I believe your are right.

When you are an ISV or Gold Partner, MS grants you a number of licenses for all this stuff which I tend to gloss over from time to time.

Back to the original point, from the other comments it appears that the Android app restrictions apply only to the Google App Store rather than the device itself. You could still sell non-conformant software, just not in their app store?

When Microsoft release their App Store concept for Windows Mobile, it may well have a matching set of absurd conditions ... who knows. I hope they learn from the other's mistakes.

Hmm .. I'm no expert but doesn't Cydia require the user to jailbreak their iPhone?

Anyhow the point here that I didn't quite realise the first time around is that this Android restriction seems only to apply to the Android app store and not the device itself. APparently you can still distribute Android apps that don't adhere to the App Store rules.

This is why I use and develop for Windows Mobile.

I can write my app, I don't have to pay anyone or tell anyone.
My app can do whatever I want, to the limits of possibility.
I can sell my app or give it away to enrich the platform.

I'm not so keen on these App Store ideas - or phones that require you to upload your app to the mothership so it can be validated that it doesn't conflict with any one else's future business plans.

Just compile, run, and distribute .... whats wrong with that?

I found the Cooperative play in Conflict Desert Storm I, II and Conflict Global for XBOX to be great fun for both players even when one has more skill/practice. These games actualy don't have a head-to-head mode and are solely based on cooperative play. On xbox live this is great where its so common to find head-to-head games where the beginner has to put in so much time and effort to even have a chance the conflict games foster an environment where the experienced player has the pleasure of mentoring the beginner and the beginner learns quicker and reaches their comfort zone with game fast. (Even more for me because im a bit older and have had too much coffee in my lifetime plus have to fight the lag factor of being in Australia when playing against US people)

Anyhow - totally recommend the Conflict games.
