World: r3wp

the timing is kind of funny, since hackers have been working their 
asses off to win the big prize on getting XP to run on macs. now 
Apple offers an official solution, which they said they wouldn't 
do

Its funny indeed.. I just wonrder if they did had it on the shelf 
already...

in 2 weeks time  a cooperation of micorsoft  together with Apple 
can build very nice applications that bring money ;-)

who would think of this.. actualy its a nice idea...-> http://ilps.science.uva.nl/MoodViews/

Jaime, I presume you post such an article to bring to attention the 
interesting release process they have, with "Feature Freeze" etc.

Yes, and that he considers the Open Source movement the success story 
in biz, while the old model is dying the lawyers from the past are 
trying to derail it.

calendar application

http://calendar.google.com<--- actually it's open now

re: Google Calendar:  Chris Sherman, executive editor of Search Engine 
Watch.com. "The interface is classic Google--clean, crisp and relatively 
uncluttered.... The one down side to the program is you have to be 
online when you use it"

All those Google applications. Wouldn't it be a lot better user experience, 
if REBOL clients were made, instead of having the applications inside 
a browser? Might be a good plan:

1) Get people away from MS products. It's not the best solution having 
everything inside a browser, but it lets them know again, that they 
have a choice.

2) Now people have choices, they can choose the best solution, which 
is REBOL reblets.

Let's see some nice hovers etc from Rebol apps.

We just need someone to make the applications in REBOL. Any investors 
around?

OTTAWA — California-based linguist Paul Payack expects the English 
language to gain its one-millionth word this autumn. The language 
has come a long way indeed, as the English would say, in 400 years. 
In 1582, the English grammarian Richard Mulcaster could say that 
the language was "of small reach, stretching no further than this 
island of ours, nay not there over all.

I've actually seen the 'optical camouflage in action.. its nifty, 
if used properly.

Oh? how does it work ?

ok, just reading now...

But it is light emitting....this would only really work in daylight 
until they do reflective.

Ah the real problem with it is a single point of view, and that point 
of view needs a projector next to it. Neat trick though.

7 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms ... I suspected as much...

(from Henrik's  news story)

hmm..so that he can 'install more windows'

I wonder if many birds crash in to all those windows... ;-)

It once was really bad. Marks regularly would be splattered on the 
blue screens that covered the old windows.  For now its alot better, 
but we will see how it goes after they put in the new vista windows.

he should be careful with windows that can be flipped over and are 
hinged at the center of the frame. I have those in my livingroom. 
When opened at a certain angle, the reflection in the glass is  directed 
towards the roof. Sometimes a bird would get "caught" in the reflection 
while sitting on the roof and start attacking the window glass repeatedly. 
It looks really funny, but you have to clean up the mess afterwards: 
I suppose repeatedly banging their head against the window glass 
every 2 seconds for 10 minutes makes for a bad stomach...

http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/pulpit20060420.html<--- So how 
will Apple handle the Windows problem?

Thanks Henrik, you just made my day ;-)     running windows XP apps 
on OSX natively!  HAHAHAHAHA  get the better OS, and the better Software 
and run them together.  event though they wheren't meant to even 
support each other from the start   :-)

now the intel macs make sense more than ever...

Does that mean that RT can stop development of View for OSX?

Sounds good that they can now move on to other things.

not yet, but maybe in time... the article talks about technology 
which currently exists, but is not distributed by apple.

I can see this as killing Mac developers

I don't think it will

because you loose a lot of the goodies in OSX if you don't develop 
for the OS. not even the integration put forward here could make 
up for that

surely, opening up the windows API to mac users... sounds like a 
case to code in OSX natively  hehehe

but at least you could use Ultra edit on the mac to code it  ;-)

you'd loose access to core image, core data, core video and audio 
and spotlight..
