I was going to say check out MoSync: http://www.mosync.com/ but I just noticed that the website is down and their twitter, facebook and github haven't been updated in months. Actually the mosync domain won't resolve. Some googling tells me that they have gone bankrupt.

They did have a cross-platform C++ api for Android and iPhone and an html5 interface as well, which is their wormhole technology which you can read about at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...

So how did the first cell evolve? It had to be a self-replicating living organism with a membrane, nucleus, organelles, etc all working with all the complex chemical reactions going on. Even if one could somehow come to exist, if it can't self-replicate, it's doomed to die along with the whole of the resultant civilizations depending on it!

Richard Dawkins, since he has no answers, likes to say that nobody knows how it came to be. Perhaps it came from outer space. Doesn't the same problem exist no matter how long and far away you like to push the problem? An obvious solution is that the theory is wrong, or it would take a miracle.

> We can argue these points on slashdot, religious people can counter argue and millions will read and judge for themselves -all very evolved.

You are making this statement through your "evolutionary glasses". I could say that it is because of how we were created... in the image of God with a mind, intellect and the ability to reason.

Well if the schools, want to teach evolution, they need to also teach the controversies with it, not just paint a rosy picture that it is infallible, because otherwise that is deception and not teaching the kids to think critically. Trust us. We are scientists. It's completely true! (Hogwash.)

What? There are creationist scientists who reject evolution? They must be mad! Don't listen to them!!

Evolution. Teach the controversy.

Actually there were many geologists at the time who opposed the rejection of the flood and other assumptions being made about geology.

You could say that modern biblical geologists have proven the flood, or it may be more correct to say, "have much evidence to support it".

Canadian Teenager Arrested For Photographing Mall Takedown 770

blackfrancis75 writes "An aspiring teenage journalist in B.C., Canada who witnessed a mall takedown and decided to photograph it (using a real-film camera), was told to 'delete' the photo by security guards. He (quite legally) refused to do so, and when local police arrived they assisted mall security in pushing him to the ground, handcuffing him, cutting off his backpack with a utility knife and searching it. 'He said the security guards held him, attempting to grab his camera, and he was pushed to the ground. He said he then tried to use his body to protect two cameras he carried in his bag. "They're just yelling and screaming, and just telling me to stop resisting," Markiewicz said.'"
