It says under the table "locations based on projections of delayed data" I would guess that they look at where a flight plan is going from and to and interpolate in between.
I think you're right -- it doesn't match FlightAware's FAA data at at all (at least when comparing in downtown Chicago). FlightAware had many more flights, including non-commercial and cargo.
Doesn’t look programmable, though? That would make it next to worthless for me, unless it’s possible to hack it easily (not that I would be able to do that).
I will happily compare it favorably vs the iPad for two simple reasons. 1. Better screen for what I'll be using it for and 2. more open and thus easier to make it work the way I want a tablet to work.
Will it outsell the iPad? No. To want this device more than an iPad? Very much so.
A lot, but not enough. In place editing of HTML, CSS and cookie manipulation are almost non-existent, especially compared to the way firebug allows it.
Have you actually tried WebKit's developer tools lately?
It has a great DOM inspector (allows editing), network/script/rendering timeline, step-through debugger, profiler, cookie and local database inspector, and Chrome even has a heap analysis tool (see which objects are allocated).
It's far better than Firebug, at least for JavaScript developers, IMO.
The element inspector comes somewhat close, but you can't add css attributes to selectors, only modify existing ones, which really makes the thing useless when doing front end dev
unless you're seeing something I'm not seeing, you can only modify existing attributes. If you could show me though, an upvote will be in your future :-)
Though not as useful as firebug you are able to add a 'style="<custom css>"' attribute to an element by hovering over and clicking the '?=""' that appears.
This is somewhat similar to a site I have been working on. http://www.newsdive.net I am doing filtering based on story content, but this seems to be based on tags and categories more.
At the moment it's pretty simple matching based on a few rules, but machine learning is in development. In the case of google, it appears they are using human editors.
