johnjohn101 | when will I be able to write a perl GUI that will work on the iPad? |
rindolf | johnjohn101: iPad? |
rindolf | johnjohn101: was it released yet? |
rindolf | johnjohn101: I think there are Perl bindings for Cocoa/Carbon/etc. |
johnjohn101 | today.. Just getting sucked by the hype |
rindolf | johnjohn101: ah. |
rindolf | johnjohn101: I'm incredibly suspicious of Apple. |
johnjohn101 | why's that? |
* Caelum | will wait for the cheap iPad knock-off that runs Android and can multitask |
rindolf | johnjohn101: http://www.shlomifish.org/open-source/anti/apple/ |
rindolf | 133 links and going strong. |
* rindolf | thinks he has a link on his homepage or blogs for every occasion. |
johnjohn101 | they definitely know how to hype their new products. I get so suspicious of the hype. Nothing ever lives up to that type of billing |
rindolf | johnjohn101: yes, I'm suspicious of hype too. |
gooshie | rindolf the new apple maxipad is out today.. leave it to apple to create a new device with all the cost of a high end laptop.. the performance of a netbook and the interface of a cellphone |
Caelum | gooshie: and no multitasking |
rindolf | gooshie: heh. |
rindolf | gooshie++ |
johnjohn101 | will google be able to match it? |
johnjohn101 | any time soon? |
rindolf | Some technologies were not hyped and yet became very popular - UNIX, C, HTML. |
Caelum | there's no amazingly complicated technology involved |
Caelum | it's just a big iphone |
claes_ | nicely packaged |
johnjohn101 | drop it once and it's unusable? |
gooshie | ...if they just made a cover to protect the screen.. and then maybe because they had like a cover the inside could be the screen and the other part could then be a keyboard!.. that would be cool! |
johnjohn101 | gooshie: good thing you have an open mind about the product!! |
* gooshie | d:-/ |
gooshie | ..the new apple maxipad... when your laptop is too big.. your iphone is too small and your wallet is too full. |
