The change the Wave brings the enabling pull push over http, currently pull works well but push (from the server to the client)is more complicated.

I don't see the point, Android is using a Chrome version, so if you'll take Android remove Dalvik then you're getting a new OS?

By that definition I can remove all my apps from my Vista laptop except the browser and what do I get, an IE OS?

That's silly!!!

The negativity in this article isn't necessary. I like C# I would want to say that the more Linux / Unix C# code will be written maybe and just maybe it will get MS to write an open source .NET framework not just for windows. That's the words I want to read

Doesn't matter which product,

If MS would have enforce such a strict policy on Windows, imagine how many stability and security issues would have been solved in an instance.

But this is just a pipe dream, there is no way MS would be let to get away with such practices, on the other hand Apple are well with in their right to do so.

If MS won't support PHP than they are big bad boy of the IT world, if they do they are wrong again???

If you bag MS please make it worth while...

I remember hearing in a morning radio show people are saying that the iPhone is the best thing ever because it can play and record farts.

From a market point of view it is revolutionary but not from the technical side.

I couldn't stand The undocumented Windows API scene. It gave me such a hard time. I find it amusing that the MS guys had to deal with that!!!!

"worthless Australian dollars" That's not cool mate

Apple went into the Mobile Market business only because they knew that its standing still.

The gaming market is soldiering proudly!!!

What's the difference between that and a Windows Tablet (apart from the price)?

If you build a web app you must test it on IE, WM is the third biggest mobile OS for smartphones, and that's before desktops.

Sorry PG I can't agree with you on this account.

The article says that Android holds 5% of the total of the smartphones market, and iPhone accounts for 50% of the web traffic, but doesn't state its market share.

The title require some adjustment.

I liked the part about long hours, in my experience the long hours crowed are only wasting time.

You come to work, you code, you leave that's as simple as that!

With all the stuff that happens in Aus there are far more important things to sort,

When Peter Garrett sang Bad On Fire there where lots of voices who called to censor him, I guess the wheel turned...

How can you evaluate an SDK? Compare it to a different SDK that provides a similar solution.

HackerNews is filled with such debates, like Java Vs. Python, Tables Vs. CSS...

The features above were part of the Andoird SDK beta, Background processes have been around for few years in other mobile platforms, I can get excited if Apple will come out with a killer features that are unique to their platofrom (e.g. Bonjure is a unique feature)

except for iTunes, all the requested features are already part of the Android SDK

I was so happy that Microsoft moved from OLE - COM to the .NET

I don't care who the guy is. A contract termination needs to come with a reason, a termination without reason is bullying. 700$ is enough money to make an effort and go to court to settle the sidpute.

What I find it hard to believe is that Google couldn't come up with a reason, I just can't believe they are so incompetent!! Something just doesn't add up...

I wish them luck, but I can't see the point. Blackberry is the phone for businesses, maybe I'm missing something

That's was the reason why google shutdown Dodgeball!

There were lot of other start ups with similar services that are going to struggle due to this service. .

DropBox are excellent. But I'll move to Google the moment they will provide the service because I'm using Android (Assuming that an Android client will be coming out)

I don't like TechCrunch, and I don't like Michael Arrington. I can write a book on why, but this is not place.

Death threats and spitting are way over the top!!! It's a shameful behaviour that needs to be outcast. TechCrunch help lots of businesses and in the process killed some. That's life, suck it mate!!!

C# is my favourite language, its just right...

Mono garbage collection isn't perfect, on mobile devices this could be fatal. It sounds like the Mono boys are trying to find some fame.

Would be nice to sync mp3 with Android. I'm amazed no one already took the effort in doing so

I have to disagree about the Java part.

After developing for WM, j2ME, BB and Android I found iPhone is a mystery. Apple knew what they were doing making people downloading those applications. You've have got fart apps for all platforms and no one could turn them to a profit until iFart.

BB is a different market, I'm sure that if you'll investigate you'll be able to come up with an idea.

BB can be a potential good market but

Why only the iPhone is mentioned? What about Rim, Android and even MS? Nokia actually added a category in their latest challenge for e-learning system they should be included too...

I was involved in such an attempt to break that market and it wasn't easy. Its like the social mobile applications. everyone are saying that its a billion dollar market but no one got a clue how to generate good cash out of it.

This got my curiosity, the mobile space is going to buzz in next coming months!

In my view this is actually good for developers, the more that the technology will be fragmented the more work we will have.

Design patterns are the same across all engineering disciplines.

Mono was designed to port the .NET to other platforms
