History has shown on iOS that web browser developers don't really care about the engine - what they want is the tasty search engine revenue. Its all about the brand these days.

Its pretty easy to make an iTunes account without any payment info attached to it, and that will let you download as many free apps as you want.
Simply google "iTunes account without credit card" and there are a bazillion articles on it, top of the list apple's own on how to do it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
And if for some reason you have given your child your iTunes account then you can go to parental restrictions and disable in app purchases. You have been able to for years.
I personally hate IAP, so i have even disabled them via that method on my own iOS devices. No paranoia that I'm gona get shafted.
So maybe you should do some research before you get yourself into a pious rage.
Like most university projects, the university owns the software that students submit for marking. This is why a fair number of PhDs/masters in the CS sector never materialise as the writers stop their research at the university and sell it to a company/spin it off as a startup.
As a way to counter this, Bristol uni offered students a 30% stake in a business derived from their degree/phd submissions.
If the finnish university followed this model that would leave students with about 23p for every £1 the app is listed at. Probably less after "costs" are deducted. So not great.
And as I said above, the Uni owns it, so the student has no entitlement to anything.
As far as i am aware, the 30% only applies to the .ibooks format. So if you were to save it out as a PDF you would be free to sell it as you pleased.
No gallery widgets etc, but no walled garden either.
No doubt someone will come up with a program that converts the .ibooks format into something for other platforms that preserves the rich features, and no doubt apple will change their eula when that happens.
For example, in safari it will find bookmarks for you (as its in a menu)
Im not sure how useful this unity approach is. Menus often provide visual feedback - for example a list of the IM networks I'm connected to in adium and what each of their status is. In a unity app you would have to take up a large amount of GUI space to display this information that could simply be placed in a menu.
I think in the Ultrabook market, cost and thickness are going to be 2 very important selling points, and adding a touch screen will increase both of these.

Including a touchscreen that doesn't really add much often used functionality to the device isnt going to catch on too quickly amongst manufacturers, except maybe as a build to order option. Unless, of course, Intel puts its food down and strictly mandates it 's inclusion - at which point everyone switches to the AMD spec.
Diablo 3 will be awesome and is an obvious omission from the list.
However Mists of Pandaria is possibly the greatest rape of an game attempted to date. Its the final death knell for most wow players over the age of 12. Im nominating it for worst game of 2012 - along with the slew of forthcoming Olympic tie-ins.
I have no idea of the dimensions of this aircraft, could the author of his article please restate them in the commonly accepted units of double decker busses and football pitches.
I myself will be investing my money in buying up tin foil futures as they price is going to sky rocket when every man and their hamster will want a tin foil hat next year.
Samsung is arguing here that if you write software to use a piece of hardware that has licensed their technology - the buyer should also licence their tech again for their drivers.
Thats samsung socking it to the whole of the industry (and probably itself at the same time)
Their business is constantly declining. They owe more than they have coming by quite an alarming rate. They now have a load of competitors. There is nothing unique about their business model.
And to think they originally valued themselves at $30bn.

Seems slightly extreme to cut your losses so soon after their first webOS product bombed, especially as they are about to release the TouchPad 4G - is anyone going to buy that now knowing its already dead in the water.
The only really annoying bit is that if you want the command line compiling tools on lion you have to install the entire xCode sdk then delete the crap you don't want.

I got a 1Tb samsung sata drive a few months ago for £41.
A few weeks after the flood i checked the price of the drive and it was a whopping £145.
As of today its down to £110.
Reminds me of buying RAM 10 years ago.

Oh well.

Whats far more important is the loss of the custom (and color) icons in side bars.

Remember Darwin, it still exists - kinda?

Surely they got a 3rd party contractor in to do it, and the management/editors will deny all knowledge of any wrong doing...
Not quite as good as they are selling it, evidently.
