Disclosure: I'm a Java developer, but I do enterprise server-side development, not web development. Having said that, I agree with Apple's decision to deprecate Java, and I'm not foaming at the mouth like some Java devs are. Apple has been slo…

Do you have any examples of said 64-bit Windows software that's only 32-bit on Mac?

What's weird is that there's a link to download iTunes 10 from the Apple site, which then offers iTunes 9 and says that iTunes 10 is "available soon". What I'm wondering is whether this is still Carbon app or if it's now a Cocoa app.

Yes, I am speculating. I have no inside information. Apple would probably disable Face Time over 3G, effectively preventing iPhone cannibalization. Apple has changed its mobile device business model from exclusive contracts with mobile carri…

Wrong again. The compiler, runtime and standard libraries were all open sourced, with the exception of the Java applet runtime and some sun. libraries. The version of Java distributed by Oracle is binary that includes source code that developers …

You're wrong. Java has been open sourced under GPL2, with exemptions such as the sun. packages and the browser plugin. But here's the rub: Java is patented in such a way that only a complete implementation is licensed royalty-free, not a super…

Now the XCode editor finally catches up to Visual Studio, Eclipse, and Netbeans. The code completion and debugging was inferior to those IDEs. Now Apple is applying a formula that works, which is the single window view of the other IDEs. Stil…

You haven't addressed the fundamental question. A subscription model won't work, because I can't afford to visit all the sites I currently visit if they all were to force me to buy a subscription. The question is, no more matter how tasteful…
