Yeah, it certainly doesn't seem like a good idea to lock a child into such a closed environment, particularly if it's one of their earliest exposures to computers in general.

There's some info in a Stack Overflow answer here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4891642/interpreter-for-t...

"Apple started officially allowing programming language interpreters in the iOS App store late Q3 of 2010 (they changed their SDK agreement to clarify this). However interpreters (except for Javascript in a UIWebview) are not allowed to run any downloaded code. Only code built into the app, or typed in by the user."

Not sure where he's getting that from, though.

I think our servers were down for a few minutes earlier -- should work now.

Thanks -- that's what I assumed initially, but had second thoughts after seeing how delayed the announcements were.

Did a quick write-up on this here: http://webdev360.com/users-report-major-amazon-ec2-outage-bu...

Does anyone know if ops teams generally have to clear these sort of announcements with PR/comms? I assume they would, given how they get reported on.
