What discrimination? Eich exercised his right to donate to political causes. OkCupid (and others) are exercising their right to protest. Just because you have the right to your political views does not mean you don't have the right to be criticized for those views.
If anyone is interesting, I wrote a proof-of-concept Android implementation of this UI. Not as polished as this though. I didn't make any attempt to ensure the scrolling time was consistent for different image sizes, and left out the scrollbar. But this code would get you started.
This looks fantastic. It sounds like it uses a similar setup as Lastpass, but with a service for startups to manage accounts. They should offer a free tier for end users to store and manage passwords ala Lastpass, and then keep the team focused features as a premium upgrade.
Thanks for the suggestion Jason. Our free tier actually covers up to five users, so it works great for both individuals and small teams. We knew that Meldium would be useful for large companies, but we've been surprised to learn that even very small teams love it too.
I do Android dev full time and it's pretty rare to actually need to look at the source. The only time is when encountering a strange bug that you suspect is caused by the underlying implementation.
Google has generally been good about releasing emulator images prior to releases, though usually it's only a few weeks. Luckily, it takes time for Android versions to achieve large market share, so any bugs can be squashed before it's a big problem.
Sometimes when I'm in a bad mood, the API and online doc are not cutting it - I start wondering why it doesn't work the way I'd expect it to, and from there I have multiple options, from StackOverflow to Google Groups to ordering a book on Amazon.com, and this is the true productivity killer because of, you know, the internet.
The definitive and fastest answer will always come from reading and understanding the source code, as I don't have to hope that someone had the same problem I'm having and someone else had an answer, or that someone will reply to my question before I give up. Eclair, Froyo and Gingerbread sources were enough for 99% of my needs though, but there was always this shadow of doubt for Honeycomb-specific features...
For the most part, having the latest source readily available will greatly reduce the amount of open browser tabs, and for that I'm thankful :)
