Mr. G. on Post I/O Thoughts : "Post-Google I/O, there's not much room left to see iPhone-vs.-Android as anything other than an all-out war. What we've got here is a good old-fashioned epic rivalry."

I wonder if the "Big Rivalry" is more than a bit planned out to benefit both companies and mobile platforms...

Andrew Sullivan on Jesus and Christ, Ctd : "Christianity is in crisis - and in a deeper crisis, in my view, than many Christians are allowing themselves to believe. I start from a simple premise. There can be no conflict between faith and truth. If what we believe in is not true, it is worth nothing. The idea that one should insincerely support religious faith because it is good for others or for society is, for me, a profound blasphemy if you do not share the faith yourself. I respect atheists and agnostics who reject faith; I find it harder to respect fundamentalists - of total papal or Biblical authority - because of the blindness of their sincerity; but I have no respect for those who cynically praise religion for its social uses, while believing in none of it themselves."
