I got sort of an open question: Is there a platform independent API for development for WP7, iPhone and Android? It'd be great to write for one idealized target and have it run on all three ... or more if they make serious inroads.

What's amazing to me is NPR, PBS, CBC and BBC haven't gotten together to make their own public domain codecs. It's kind of their job to do this stuff. I guess if you take contributions from "The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation", you got make some compromises.

on: Stephen Elop is the 7th biggest individual shareholder of Microsoft
Pardon for the comment. I will likely be voted out of existence. Regardless, before that happens and you can see this comment ... is there a contingent gaming the scores? Perhaps paid trollers? How did this get 48 points? A post that's basicly saying "criticism of Microsoft is petty" getting cheered like it's the Gettysburg address? I smell something fishy going on.

petty hatred? Microsoft made a lot of enemies bullying their way to the top. Much of the enmity and fear is well placed. Microsoft acted like Walmart for 15 years destroying their competition and their suppliers. Many remember getting run out of business by these guys. It's not petty, it's payback.
