Why redo the computation when you can utilize the Cache? I thought that's the we should do things in CS.

Speaking of selling the consoles at a loss, is this really true? I can understand this at the beginning of the console's life cycle, but now the hardware is not as expensive as it was when it was first introduced. In addition, the R&D must have also been covered by now. Anybody with real numbers?

May be you shouldn't count downloads as a direct indicator of success. People download things just to try them and play around with their phones. I'd rather count the real sales where money is exchanged. The summary even states that these adult apps made the most downloaded lists.

I read a comment here (http://tech.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1558048&cid=31220298) a few days ago claiming that Apple does not make money out of the store and that it is barely paying for its maintenance.

I knew TV was not a new technology

Ameen, brother, Ameen.

The worst software ever written. It brings all the machines I have to their knees. Even crashes the browser often. Yet, web developers insist on forcing it upon us. I've never anticipated a product more than M$'s Silverwhatever. The least it could do is force Adobe to clean up their shit.

Is it the implementation itself or is Flash inherently broken?
