That, and the eye-opening part about Apple and Microsoft getting cozy in bed while Apple disparages Microsoft in public. Having being (and I demand to get my screen name blurred while confessing this) an Apple fanboi in the dark days of 1996-2000, I followed the soap opera from the first row, including the baffling $150M kiss. I had really not seen it clearly until now.

If Jobs was still at the helm he would be screaming murder on all media right now, saying that Google was "attacking innovation itself" and seeking the help of his army of trendy drones to fight for their iToys. In a morbid sense I miss the drama.

heh. Nice link. I enjoyed reading something from way back when Java was a threat to Windows... somehow....

Maybe Dalvik made good on this, in some weird way :)
