http://gamersgate.com/ is another good alternative to GOG and Direct2Drive. The nice thing is that they're having a *massive* summer sale right now :) Like GOG, it's re-download all you want.

That being said, mobile developers would be a heck of a lot happier if Android devices would run J2ME/JavaME apps out of the box instead of needing to port & recompile apps for Android/Dalvik.

How much would it cost for Google to pay Oracle a license to bundle the JavaME VM on Android? If anything, hopefully that's one thing that comes out of this as porting for different platforms is a $%@#$^. The less steps needed, the better.

But hasn't Java been doing a good enough job splintering and fragmenting the platform with J2EE, J2SE, J2ME MIDP 1.0/2.0/3.0, JavaFX on its own?

Adam Savage's talk on the 2008 Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference on why Mythbusters was forced to not do the "how easy it is to hack RFID tags" episode is very, very interesting.

Weight gain is a common side effect for *many* anti-depressants. Increased appetite and hunger is common.

There are already a bunch of touchscreen netbooks out there. Check out the: ASUS T101MT, HP Mini 5102, Gigabyte Touchnote T1028M, and MSI Wind U150 nebooks.

Steve Jobs is deliberately destroying the web and trying to remold it as he sees fit. He would rather that content creators only build native iOS apps that work only for iDevices rather than use already-existing channels & platforms that work perfectly fine.

His war on interpreted code/runtimes and (WORA) Write-Once-Run-Anywhere is a big headache for content creators everywhere.
