He's got a degree from cambridge on english literature and has written some novels that I've been told are quite good from people who are into books. Also he did loads of megally change how sketch shows work (or so I'm told).
Meanwhile he is also one of the first people to own an apple computer which just makes him a massive tech fanboy. So on matters of tech he's just a normal person who is really interested in it.
" SaaS and open source eliminate the second component of this lock-in, but nothing can fix the first part."
Is that true?
Drupalgardens.com is a SaaS for very simple websites but doesn't have data lock-in as you can export your site, code, configuration, content and all and host it on your own set up if you need to. Even business logic stored in the way your site works can be exported.
Now... Drupalgardens is obviously a very basic example and high end enterprise systems are unlikely to go the way of drupalgardens + Drupal. But I dunno if its true that "nothing can fix the first part". If Salesforce were to opensource their whole thing and allow you to run salesforce on your own servers you could essentially get to a point where you could migrate a salesforce site between vendors or host it yourself.
Man... with samsung phones owning like they are now HTC really can't afford to do this. I mainly go with HTC due to their general acceptance of the xda dev community. So its their attitude towards their fans I like (cause it causes the software to become awesome, or did in the win mob days).
Maybe I'll be going samsung next time...
Or even better motorola! I loved their phones except for the evil not letting you root them thing,

At robotville there was a robot that used a Kinnect and lasers to map out where all the walls were in the room so that they could know where they were relative to their starting position. Don't know if that is overkill though.
I'm confused... doesn't the final paragraph kind of make the whole point change completely? (I'm criticising the comments more then the article itself).
I mean if its true that he only submitted his visa application on the 20th of sep and its not been rejected only being processed... then the only thinng you can criticise the government on is having a slow beaurocracy....
Doesn't that last paragraph change the tone of the title from "Archbishop onces again fights for the liberty of his people" to "Idiot Archbiship makes a big deal about nothing... world sides with idiot"?
Despite the tone... this post is actually a question, I'm simply confused... Are we assuming the spokesperson in the last paragraph was lying?

"act is Google already pays other licensing fees for other technology they use within Chrome that is also patented so to say this is about licensing is non-sense."
My understanding is that the problem with H.264 being the codec that everyone uses would be that everyone would have to pay for licensing fees. Google can afford to pay licensing fees so if its only chrome that has to, its fine. But with H.264 I thought if I have a website in drupal that allows users to upload video and then manipulate it (lets say change the bitrate online for example) then I would also have to pay licensing fees just as someone who hosts a website (or distributes my drupal module)
I don't understand why so many (especially opensource) developers love apple so much! In the world of Drupal everyone is on a mac and it seems silly because Apple not only don't promise to "do no evil" this kind of thing like banning java is exactly what they have proven they will do.
Why did the developer spend so much time trying to convert people to mac?
