Why the Nokia N900 is fundamentally better than an iPhone and will remain so.

I love this blog man, but I'm just wondering? What are the advantages of a basic user? I'm sorry but I just love the iPhone and I can't really see how the n900 is THAT much better, I just see it in terms of choice? I did enjoy the blog and if the n900 is that much better, I'd really be interested in getting one. Is it for more programmers and stuff? Sorry...rookie question

Not my article, but an excellent read all the same

http://fabiensanglard.net/anotherWorld_code_review

This bloke posts some great code reviews and has open sources his own iOS shooter engine. I really like his coding style, it takes a lot of cues from Carmack's concise, well structured style of C. This style extends to the C++ source for the Another World VM interpreter he talks about in this article.

The guy also posted a guide on how to get Doom 3 building in OSX about a day after I figured it out!

Someone's done a followup to Patrick McKenzie's Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names, this time talking about time - Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Time.

Both are well worth the read.
