But at the end of the day, what is life and death anyway? Merely a self repeating pattern of some atoms...maybe consciousness is just a collection of concepts which our brain uses to reinforce its self identity? Maybe consciousness is just as valid as religion and our existence really holds as much meaning as the existence of a tree in an infinite universe? and considering the fact that the majority of people would value a nice diamond more over a tree, a well sculpted rock might just have more meaning than "life" itself.

maybe intellect,in itself, is merely a small bump in the fractal nature of the universe itself, after all...there is a universe in everything and nothing is everything.

Only with that in mind before i die, would i upload my mind...


To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

yep agree 100%. i have been thinking a lot about high quality responsive hardware accelerated layouts myself and have actually been thinking and experimenting on how to make something like that on a primitive level with the technology at hand for making responsive apps.

I honestly believe you will be able to see something like that in the near future as device gapping technologies gain more momentum.


>3 minute installer with possible malware

>a url

pick one


You forgot

>a url with a JavaScript exploit

>a url with a img/css browser buffer overrun

>a url with cross site scripting

I see no difference.

EDIT: Actually I do. I is easier to exploit users that can't wait 3 minutes.


this. i think the future is all about code flexibility. if your code is responsive and performs via stable hardware accelerated animations it will win because you only have to write it once. web will take over the mobile industry eventually, i can feel it.


sounds interesting. not a fan on reacts workflow because i use jade templates w/ backbone that get compiled to html for me and its much less code, but separating javascript and native components into different threads is a great idea.

i believe we should be able to see javascript being used as a responsive language portable across all devices and being used to control native components as a separate layer.

im actually working with a flexbox xml/html wrapper framework for iscroll that i might use to build a responsive app that not only does pc animations but performs alot of nice mobile slider animations that seem to go at 60 fps on modern handhelds, but its up to emerging gapping technologies like cordova and this to make the use of future "responsive ui kits" which i believe should be emerging soon.


this is a bit late reply but im drunk and that was glitch from the very start and is fixed now its just one url.


thanks for the comments everybody! also thanks to the guy who posted this. I will keep all of your awesome advice in mind when making my next web app. In this project, I wanted to focus heavily on creative concepts i felt where neat. Also i'm very OCD about making things look pretty and artistic. I will fix the url history problems thought, did not think of that one.
