I hadn't noticed this when the original story broke. But this change also apparently disables Physx processing on Physx dedicated physics cards, i.e. the things Agiea was making before Nvidia bought them out. I know those weren't the most popular addon, but I happen to know of a school with a computer lab full of those Physx cards, and the majority of them have ATI/AMD cards for graphics. For them at least, this update renders all those standalone cards useless.

If I was concerned about people snooping around on my phone, I would set it to lock, so it requites a password if you want to fuss with it. Pretty much all phones can do that.

Even the smaller birds can do this, my cockatiel can perfectly imitate the whistle we use to call the dogs, as well as imitate the noise that the squeaker in a dog toy makes.

Design patterns, by the "Big Four" has pretty much been the bible of software design thus far for me. It pretty much covers the methodology of all the popular patterns with examples. It has been the book I reference most, after language and API specific books. http://www.amazon.com/Design-Patterns-Object-Oriented-Addison-Wesley-Professional/dp/0201633612/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230057965&sr=8-1
