I will consider PHP is a good option for building my applications. There are a lot of low cost PHP hosting. Moreover, many many good opensource projects in PHP are in the market. That is so easy to build an application. If I planned to implement some small scale applications, I will choose PHP as the platform.

Google announced they bought Motorola Mobility. I think that is good for Android. Motorola already has Android phone and tablet. I believe they will built more. Thus, Android will be brighter future.

I found I like Winforms Programming more. I felt that is easy to use. I can use TableLayoutPanel to create a complex UI. I know Grid in WPF can do a similar job, but I still think TableLayoutPanel is easier. Maybe, that is because I have been using WinForms for that many years! Moreover, I have experienced WinForms Application is faster. Thus, I like Winforms more.
