My brand new iPod touch freezes everytime I connect it to iTunes. Why? If only Apple invested more time in writing good software than funding mock advertising
Fwd: LOL NYTimes: And Amazon keeps 65 percent? That sounds like a lot. Bezoz: Does it? You’re an author, what does your royalty check look like? (via http://friendfeed.com/chachra...)
typical hassles man... can't be discouraged by this. I think people need to stop looking at these moves as "I wanna help India"... cause in most cases nowadays its like "How can I eat home cooked food, earn almost the same money (adjusted for PPP) and truly enjoy life in a growing economy".

It is bloody ridiculous how hard it is to merge sorted arrays in Java using its iterators, they should've dumped Java iterators and taken iterators from C++
The article lists some noteworthy facts, but I think it misses out on an important one: "Imagination is more important than knowledge". Creativity is fostered mainly not by government spending and public policy but by a culture that encourages disruptive thought and risk taking. Are we seeing much of this in Europe and Asia (I'm really asking)?

It's a dark night in a city that knows how to keep its secrets.
For much of the tutorial it was hard to see the point behind it, this language is like a compiled version of Python (I'm guessing, since I don't know Python, though one can see the roots of a dynamically typed language here). The USP seems to be eased concurrency, no more messy mutual exclusion and shared state. But I'm disappointed with the tutorial, it explains the "how" rather than the "why"
