iphone app I want

I'm futzing around the bay area this week, and for the first time using the cool features of Google Maps on the iPhone.

Works great - shows me map of each step of the trip. It will even track position in real time using the GPS (merrily burning up the battery, but hey...)

So what I really need is this app to speak to me so I don't have to squint at it in the same way a regular car GPS does - "turn right in 500 feet at Hooha Street" or whatever.

You're only supposed to jump the shark once...

Given that JavaFX is Sun's multi-year, all-in, double-down, bet-the-farm attempt to compete with the likes of Microsoft Silverlight, I'm utterly flummoxed as to why Sun would ship Silverlight.

With strategery like this, anyone still wondering why Sun's market cap is now probably darn close to or less than the value of their real estate and cash on hand?

Go Vote

If you can't do it tomorrow, get to your local town hall and do it absentee.

Just do it. No excuse not to. Every vote is needed, and every vote counts.
