Does this mean we can create Android and iOS apps with Python (via e.g. PyQt)?

I think they would want you to use QML for that. Code your interface in QML, access your platform libraries in Java/Obj-C. This actually makes a lot of sense, since QML can represent just about any GUI logic and you need your native platform libraries anyway.

If you have not tried QML yet: I used to love Qt because it was soo easy, then loved PyQt because it was soo much easier. Now I love QML because it is soo much easier still. QML really is an awesome way of creating GUIs and interaction logic. Then code your backend in whatever language you like. PyQt works just as well as C++, and since you don't have to wrap GUI logic at that point, the language doesn't matter as much.

Actually QML apps can be written only using QML + Javascript. Performance or platform dependent parts can be written in C++.

Some Qt based frameworks experience. Ubuntu Touch chose to develop apps using Javascript only where possible. BlackBerry apps support both Javascript and C++. There are people who believe that QML must be used only for UI and all logic must be written in C++. IMHO Javascript is good choice as it is fast enough in many cases.

As for Python that's not what you want to use with QML and pure Qt is not what you want to use for mobile apps.

Javascript in iOS is not a good idea, unless you are just prototyping/building a basic app.

Maybe. My experience (not Qt based) with Javascript on iOS is not very bad (I expected worse). While I don't like that Apple created fake problems using script languages in iOS.

Regardless of qt, you can actually already write android and iOS apps in python via kivy (http://kivy.org/#home).

It includes a domain specific language for creating widget trees called kivy language, which I hear is not unlike qml (though I haven't tried the latter), though it all maps straight to pure python if you want to write things that way.

yes, but ATM there is lack of documentation:

Once again RMS is proven right, in all his paranoid delirium. Pretty sad is you ask me.

What are you talking about? You can buy AND sell in coinbase.

If you're in the US and if you don't get denied as a high risk transaction and then maybe a few weeks later you might see some money.

The story of Bitcoin is practically no-one seems able to cash out at the reported rates - you're lucky to get about 1/3rd of that.

Its the "exchanges" and "trade platforms" of BTC that are the driving force of the scam.

That's what coinbase is for. Pretty easy to register and get verified... if you happen to be in the US of A (or own a bank account there, anyway).

Don't be so negative. If you look around, you will see that the game is very playable at this point!

Stupid complaint is stupid.

Nothing to see here people, move on.

Not odd at all. His options were either US-averse Latin American countries (Ecuador, Venezuela, Cuba) or China-Russia. And between those, he took maybe the safest, as said latin american countries may not be able to protect him if the US gov is truly determined to get him.

And Cisco spying for US Gov. As well as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, AT&T, Verizon, and what now. News at 11!

MS in CS here. We all know we did it for the diploma: employers value that MS degree, so it gives you a better negotiating position in pretty much every hiring/selling scenario.

Like your regular XSRF, it relies on the user already being logged in some browser tab.

It probabley has a keylogger too.
