Build something brilliant. Make it great. Price it sensibly. Be honest and proud in describing it.

Cheap app. Shows your nicked Mac on a map. Takes mugshots of the person using it. Let's you lock/wipe the machine.

Bit late now of course, the horse has bolted.

The Poor Standards agency are also looking into MS Office.

Our secret service is just one big trailer for the forthcoming Johnny English sequel.

Not going to happen. They've thrown their hat into the Touch arena, and are favouring track pads now. I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually ditch the mouse altogether. Fortunately there's plenty of quality mice on the market from 3rd parties.

1) What was it like being in Baywatch?

and,

2) Do you ever get mistaken for other actors?

I'm not sure putting the icon in Desktop Manager is going to solve the problem. Most phone manufacturers seem focused on 'cutting the cord' as it were, and ditching the need for PC software at all. If RIM's heading in the opposite direction then they're in more trouble than I thought.

Last time I checked the App World it was a little sparse to say the least, and the apps that were there werent what I'd call exciting. I'm just not sure they're engaging enough developers like you. When was the last BlackBerry WWDC-equivalent?

I think that's part of the reason, sure, but not the only reason.

There's a 'App World' icon on every BlackBerry nowadays - yet despite the popularity of BlackBerry's, RIM's App World hasn't been successful.

New chapter. Flash failed because it was nothing but annoying for the end user. Buggy, crashy, annoying ads, and battery sucking. You'll find that most humans couldn't care less about 'open' vs 'closed'. If it works well, and is customer focused, it will generally fly, so long as innovation isn't stifled by a monopolist.

You're right of course, it's just Apple were the first to make it successful. Perhaps because of the 1-click purchasing they licence from Amazon. Perhaps because searching for apps is easier. Perhaps because developing apps is easy. Perhaps because the app is guaranteed to work on the handful of appliances it's designed to run on. Perhaps because of all of these things... I'm not sure.

I knew it - Tom from MySpace does have a Slashdot account!

It's country's, not countries.

How do I get this vital security update for my iPhone?

Beavers, pussies and goatses will be just some of the things on offer.

Indeed you are right sir. The game was included in the purchase price, regardless of it being marketed as 'free'.
