1. What about the UI elements of Android and iOS? We still have to buy something like Kendo UI to work with Phonegap on Android/iOS.

I believe it will be better strategy for Meteor team to work and integrate their server with native Android/iOS app instead of Phonegap.

2. Also it is difficult to understand how Latency compensation will work. Does local in-memory copy of database work with Sqlite or does meteor install mini-mango on Android/iOS?

3. The author in the blog has written that they have improved the login by redirect based oAuth login in WebView. Webviews are surly not optimized for mobile devices and gives horrible user experience. If webviews would have worked there was no need for facebook to rebuild the HTML app.

Meteor team is far from providing a unified platform which can be used for Web and Android and iOS. It is good only for web.

Debt is the key in the story. You cannot spend the money if you don't have it.

Dropbox guys cannot be trusted therefore I have simply deleted the account.

1. I never said we should redistribute the wealth. I believe that will only create more problems.

2. I never suggested Bill Gates should give away his wealth.

3. All I am saying is whatever caused this (85 richest human have wealth equal to 3,500,000,000 poorest humans) extreme inequality is blocking the progress of poor. For example - In India corruption in government is making problem of inequality worst. If you spend sometime trying to understand the corruption problem of India you will be surprised to see it's extend and scale. Therefore if we agree that we have a problem we may find the cause and finally remedies.

The obvious truth (axiom in mathematics) in the article is Google search is hiding the applications by showing only the search box and not showing lot of icons like windows desktop or smartphone. I argue it is not true, I assume the following is obvious

1. Windows desktop or smartphone usually show 50-100 application 2. Google search has to show billions of web pages

therefore I argue that it is simple impossible for Google to show billion of pages like Windows desktop and smartphone. Hence Google show the search box instead of icons.

Agreed, I made a mistake and misunderstood the fact but my point that we have failed miserably at distribution of wealth remains.

Agreed, I made a mistake. But I appreciate that you agree that we have failed miserable at distribution of wealth and I quote you "The problem is that the bottom 50% also own much less than 1% of the world's wealth."

Lets say we distribute this wealth in a more equitable way. That will mean a little more dollars in the hand of poor and a little less in the hand of super rich. Now if we assume(reasonable as far as I can see) that if you are feed and have home you will spend next dollars into healthcare and education. So poor people with little more dollars would attract more workforce towards providing education and healthcare to their kids (instead of writing code for Bill Gates and make him rich) and thus making this world more peaceful and beautiful for all.

This clearly is a propaganda against MOOC. Sebastian Thrun is talking about improving the course and the journalist is trying to misquote as if he is saying the whole idea of MOOC itself is not working. Also 4% figure without number is as useless as it could be. What is 4% of $1 billion? It is $ 40 million still significant amount. The lobby behind this propaganda needs to identified.
