My particular issue with the new maps is when I search for a new unknown city and zoom out to see bigger area - pointer is gone!
Try searching for city Kazan in Russia and try to quickly get an idea where the city is. Pointer or any mark of fhe city is gone when you zoom out enough!
It is a killer combination and I'm doing it for a while with Nexus S and CSipSimple App while roaming abroad.
I'm from Europe. And best part is that my mobile operator has SIP gateway, so wherever abroad I am, I always get myself local 3G data SIM card (it's 10 EUR for 1GB on average) so I can use data as much as I want, and I can call and being called (with my own number) with prices just like I would be back home - cheap.
Even better is that I can also send SMS with same app (again from my own number). Classic way, when abroad it can be anywhere from 0.15 EUR to 0.40 EUR per SMS when roaming.
Sending SMS works on EDGE, but for calling it needs to be 3G. Sound can delay from time to time, but it's a small price for keeping home-network-prices wherever in the world I am.

While there is no way to run Flash on iOS devices, accelerometer works only with iOS.
I belive that's what Steve was talking about in his Thought on Flash where he concludes:
"Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short."
Kudos to html5 and guys creating this experiment. It's awesome!
H5 visa is good option too. You have all rights as normal USA citizen and no restrictions.
It lasts for 3y and can be extended for another 3y (I'm not sure what happens after 6y total..).
If you are unemployed for 45days visa will terminate (and you need to leave USA), but renews automatically when you get a new employment (in 3y period).
Implementation is shiny yup - for now;) I did it as fast as possible to get feedback and see if it's worth putting extra effort in.
Agree on /new issue. Hmm.. perhaps I shall try publishing everything from /new that gets at least a comment or an upvot... will ping you on twitter when done (prob not tomorrow but by the end of the week).
In video it's explained like "valuations are high, but it's not a bubble".
Would that mean their growth will stop at certain level for a longer period? I guess realization will need to meet expectation at some level. Expectation for Facebook are sure high, but I doubt it can go go for trillion valuation without multi^2 billion revenue.
