I am sure it means something. Just not sure what it means and to whom this is understandable.

As much as I generally like to tell class action trolls to go elephant themselves, in this case I think a lot of its self inflicted on Apple's part since they don't provide any easy way to revert to previous major iOS versions.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

The average human attention span – how long we can concentrate effectively on a single task – was recently reported by Microsoft to have dropped below the level attributed to goldfish. I was going to look to see if I've posted something like this before, but... Candy Crush Saga!

OS.js is a free and open source operating system that runs in your web browser. Based on Javascript, this operating system comes with a fully-fledged window manager, ability to install applications, access to virtual filesystems and a lot more. Repeat after me: Just because you can, doesn't mean you should

As much as I despise Javascript, this looks like it could be exactly what I need to bring the concepts of HOPE (see sig for those that haven't heard about my pet project) to the browser, something I've been struggling to figure out.

Well then. Looks interesting enough. I'll have to try it later.
But I still wonder what made the developers think 'hey, let's make a JavaScript based operating system!'

A long, long, time ago, Intel had the idea of producing a three-chip processor that executed Java bytecode natively. The project was shelved due to technical problems, but I wonder how difficult it would be to produce such a processor today.

I've had this same idea once in my career. Then, I delved into the JRE source code and saw my hopes and dreams burn up.

Java != JavaScript. The two have nothing to do with each other.

I know that.
What OS.js is apparently doing is to use a high-level language's Virtual Machine as the basis for an operating system. I thought it worthwhile to mention another case where this was tried.

Ah, got it. Thanks for the clarification.

There's ARM Jazelle® DBX (direct bytecode execution) now, which is a fun idea, but cutting the JIT compiler out of the picture means the code runs without optimization.

Lively Kernel has accomplished a similar feat for years, including a built-in Self/Smalltalk-like live-programming IDE and various other features. It targets JS and is associated with Dan Ingalls, one of the original authors of Smalltalk.
But the wheel needs constant reinvention, I suppose.
