BitTorrent Turns 10-> 1

Most P2P protocols have had a rapid rise and then a drop-off as the next best thing has come out, but after 10 years, nothing has bested bittorrent, and it still remains king of the p2p castle. Just when will it be bested?"

Apple has a monopoly on their own platform. It is a nice gamble of Opera, if Apple accepts it then they are on the Iphone platform. If it is rejected, then it will be a landmark case on how the EU will react.
The EU will eventually come with rules anyway. If a company creates an app for the Iphone and Apple decides to create a similar app and removes the competing app, then it is a matter of time before such a company will ask the EU to put up rules against such behavior. This does not only apply to Apple, but for each company that runs an app store.

the most successful female rally driver to date.

You mean WRC rally driver. Jutta Kleinschmidt won the Dakar rally and just as successful of even more successful than Mouton. The Dakar rally is harder and more rallying (no closed down roads) than the WRC and winning the Dakar is quite an achievement.

Android applications are writen in Java, with the shortcomings this brings with it (anybody want to write a game and see how the GC kills the framerate by processing stuff that has nothing to do with your application? it's *really* fun)

When I look at the game Armadillo Roll for Android, I must say that the frame rate is no problem. I was actually quite surprised that my HTC Hero could produce such graphics.

Waking a person unnecessarily should not be considered a capital crime. For a first offense, that is.
