Buy TomTom (people seem to like their app for iOS). Swap the current data for the one used by TomTom in their app. Problem solved.
Re:Azul JVM Now Available For Developers of Open Source Applications

The title is incorrect: Azul are not open sourcing Zing JVM, they make it available for free to open source developers, but only for "development, qualification, and testing". Still nice though.
Re:Is Kickstarter selling dreams?

You should not call them investors: It seems most projects on Kickstarter (actually all the ones I have heard of) are not about selling equity for cash and distributing a part of the profits, but offering a product for pre-order. No matter how well the project you funded is doing, all you will get in the end is the same product as everyone else (although Kickstarter projects usually have some kind of gift to sweeten the deal). However, with the JOBS act and competitors like Fundable, it is likely that Kickstarter will evolve to promote investing as well.

Maybe there is a market in the porn industry? Looks like a winner for shooting POV videos.
Re:Java is preparing to co-bundling and native binaries

Mono apps are allowed on iOS (eg games based on the Unity3d engine) so it is likely there is way to make Java apps acceptable as well. Oracle seems confident it is going to happen (http://www.infoworld.com/d/application-development/javafx-io...)

Because HTML5 is not adequate for complex UI development. It seems Oracle is the only company to see that the current "every app should be HTML5" trend will end in overhype and failure.

Sure. Then he will want to kill himself when trying to use of all those inferior and mismatched technologies for any kind of complex application (achieving crossbrowser support will ensure many nights of fun!). He will then go back to coding server-side where at least you can use sane language and tools so you can be as productive as possible. However, he will be thinking about this glimpse of hell for the rest of his career.

I often hear that but it is no true in my experience. Maybe your run-of-the-mill flavour-of-the-month hipster web 2.0 app has a limited shelf life but most enterprise apps stay deployed for years.

ESRI also has an ArcGIS editor for OSM: http://www.esri.com/news/releases/10_3qtr/openstreetmap.html
Never used it though.
