Palm Pre and webOS: lies, damn lies, and statistics {Engadget Mobile}
Jan 12th 2009 11:47AM Web standards don't necessarily mean you don't have access to the hardware. A language is a language. If the Pre "browser" provides the necessary libraries and access points, then it's plausible you could code up 3D graphics in JavaScript (actually, might be more fun doing it in JavaScript than C) -- think of it as Palm's interpretation of ActiveX or plugins. And the fact that these "web apps" are actually downloaded to the phone opens the possibility that the JavaScript could be compiled before runtime, eliminating one of the reasons JavaScript is slow relative to machine-level code.
Of course, this would be a crazy amount of work and 3D graphics developers are a different breed from web developers, so I'm not saying Palm has actually done this -- but it is theoretically possible.

MacBook and MacBook Pro review {Engadget}
Oct 21st 2008 7:50PM Are people switching because the new design is awesome or because they've been wantingto switch to a Mac in general (e.g. because of OS X) and have just been waiting for the latest version?
Personally, the new design is disappointing in terms of substance. There's the already mentioned screen issue but the battery life is disappointing too. The new Intel chipset is supposed to be amazingly energy efficient. We have Dells, HPs, and Thinkpads getting 8 hours plus of battery life (and even more with expanded batteries) -- it'd be nice if Macbooks got a bump as well. When I was a student, I would occasionally need my PowerBook to last through 5 hours worth of class in classrooms with only a handful of outlets. Not fun.
