| 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. |
