I am way behind (this mix-tape—his second, after being picked up by Jay-Z and Roc-a-Fella—dropped months ago), but, on first listen, J. Cole may be the best new conventional MC I’ve heard in a few years.

Joe Hewitt is an App Store conscientious objector

My decision to stop iPhone development has had everything to do with Apple’s policies. I respect their right to manage their platform however they want, however I am philosophically opposed to the existence of their review process. I am very concerned that they are setting a horrible precedent for other software platforms, and soon gatekeepers will start infesting the lives of every software developer.

He excellently states my exact problem with the App Store and the iPhone platform model, and why I so desperately want Android, Palm, and anyone else who can to create sufficiently compelling alternatives that Apple’s megalomaniacal senior executives are forced to reevaluate the future they are creating for us all.

The Power of Abstraction

Abstraction is at the center of much work in Computer Science. It encompasses finding the right interface for a system as well as finding an effective design for a system implementation. Furthermore, abstraction is the basis for program construction, allowing programs to be built in a modular fashion. This talk will discuss how the abstraction mechanisms we use today came to be, how they are supported in programming languages, and some possible areas for future research.
