There's another kind of applications, besides dev tools, that's going to be affected by this.

I'm a user of one of Apple's "pro" applications, Logic Pro 9, a top music recording software (or DAW). I started using it long before it was put in the appstore, and was surprised when they moved it there, as it was a 5 DVD install.

Anyways ... the tool interacts with plugins written in a Logic Pro independent standard, VST. It burns CDs. It manipulates midi through wifi, usb, and firewire. It reads third party provided sound samples and loops. It manipulates analog instrument interfaces through firewire ...

Is Apple going to cripple Logic Studio? Or will they also have to take their "pro" software out of the appstore?

One point the author may be missing, is that smart people do not learn to ask question. Instead, asking questions is a side-effect of being extremely curious, which is a core characteristic of smart people.

Similarly, how can someone learn to ask questions without being sufficiently curious, or at least sufficiently motivated to learn about a particular subject? I guess the answer is: with a lot of work.

For those stuck in Java hell: http://akka.io/

It expands upon Scala actors—supposedly will replace them—and provides a native API for Java.

As would be expected, "Design and lab exercises are also significant components of the course." Sadly there is still no information on how this is going to be handled. Are you going to take pictures of your breadboard and multimeter readings to show you did your homework?

What do you guys think?

Spatial reasoning is indeed correlated to mathematical talent, but from this study you cannot really conclude that running == better math. In any case, one more datum to the tons of evidence showing that exercise is good for you :-)

You can experiment yourself. There is an open source implementation of the tool, written in Python: http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/

At least it will definitely help you with short term memory and focus.

Because that would contradict their political ideology.
