I love my Kindle2 and this concerns me a great deal. I would love to see a class action lawsuit against Amazon and the Publishers to put a stop to this practice immediately. They canÃ(TM)t pull this stunt with a physical book so why should they be able to pull it with a digital book.

Beeing a passionate gamer i hate controllers/consoles for what they have done to gaming: dumbing games down, resulting in awfully bad user interfaces. especially deep menu trees are a sign of console limitations: unbearable at the pc. e.g.: bethestas fallout 3 pipboy stat / item/ quest management. while the idea is nice, the usability is bothering. for fps there will never be a competitive use for controllers. i really think that gamedevs need to develop multiple user interfaces if they really want to release games for multiple platforms (which i understand for economical reasons). dumbed down interfaces due to consoles are cutting the game experience.

People have other phones than the iphone, its not the end all and everywhere machine you think it is. Android is googleâ(TM)s phone, its natural they would come out with the app for their products before others. Also, Blackberrys (RIM) have more marketshare than iPhones (Apple) too

Veracode has provided an analysis of the spyware source code. The spyware apparently is designed to encrypt messages it grabs from a BlackBerry before it sends them back to the server so that anyone intercepting the data en-route would not be able to read it.

Does that mean if we chip in to buy them some PS3s or some 360s we might get rid of these ridiculous console-exclusivity deals?
