What I find depressing is the enthusiasm over Tonchidot when all the pieces have been waiting to be put together for years. The only new element here is the iPhone, which is a mobile phone that can actually be programmed (as opposed to Symbian, which pretends to be programmable). Why does it take a not very good implementation of something to fire off these excited messages, rather than us being excited about what we could do? I know that some of the people here are doing interesting things, but they (and me) are individuals who can't do as much as a group of people. Then again, I also find it depressing that Microsoft have wall to wall PhDs and produced Clippy as a result. Google have wall to wall PhDs to write copies of Office in a browser.
