    Umm..do any of the people "in the know" as you say, have a technical background other than computer science? Ive heard plenty of people in CS refer to a cool programming language a…

    But from what I have read, they just hacked together off-the-shelves technologies. Making new technology in the semi-conductor industry is often very expensive. Besides the skill s…
