nc··on Iphone 4.0 official video

Wap is insanely old and never took off. Until the iphone and 3g.

Technologies need to mature and reach a level of performance and usability before they go mainstream. This is what's happening with iPhone & videoconferencing now. This is it's time.

This has nothing to do with who owns the tweets. Rather it's an indication that Twitter want to make it easy for people to recognize a tweet across the web.

nc··on Python to get Google-backed speedup

Tbh what is really needed is optimized message passing ala the actor model. It is a leap forward and avoids a lot of problems that threads face (subtle concurrency bugs).

nc··on Inside the Python GIL

Message passing and cooperating processes do have a lot of real advantages: - race conditions are almost eliminated - deadlock is more easily avoided - no need for locks

nc··on Review our startup: AppStoreHQ -- Mobile app search/discovery

The site looks interesting. Do you have any page view figures related to advertising?

Found one issue: our app (Movies Now!) is indicated as being released on May 13th. However it was actually released on the 27th May.
