I was watching a presentation on my iPhone on implementation of MapReduce for multi-core and multi-processor systems…
You can find out more about it at the project’s website.
Before you go.. note the “~christos” part of the URL. In UNIX-speak it means “the home directory of the user christos”. That little “squiggle” is called a tilde and is a common syntax, especially for geeks.
However, the iPhone’s keypad lacks a ‘~’ character!
Rather then enter a relatively short URL, I had to use some searching on Google to get me there. Not exactly the user experience I think Apple would strive for.

Um…what!!!
