The PS3 launchesNovember 17, 2006
I can't believe what a big deal the PS3 launch has become, especially considering how close in power it is to the Xbox 360, which launched a year ago! I read today that a PS3 was sold on eBay for $9,000 US. I've seen others going for $3,000+. What are these people thinking?!
I've been playing in the iCoke contest this month trying to win one. Two weeks have gone by without any luck, so we'll see what the next month holds. If PS3s were being sold on eBay for their in-store price, I'd be tempted to keep a won PS3, but as it stands that would be crazy... it makes the prospect of winning one monetarily lucrative, but a little emotionally dry.
Idea: Programming language / environment for browser-based appsNovember 17, 2006
Imagine a programming language that can be run in the web browser (like JavaScript can), is faster than C yet platform independant, more expressive/powerful than any of the mainstream programming languages, object oriented, and has AJAX functionality built right in so that making remote function calls is as painless as making standard function calls. How that would revolutionize the Internet. Development costs would plummet and the functionality of of web apps would sky-rocket. (I wonder why Microsoft hasn't done this?) In this model, the web browser becomes even more of an "operating system", and the merits of writing standard Windows applications falls to an all time low. (Oh, maybe that's why)
