The hardware on the Nexus One was not designed with multitouch in mind. There was a firmware hack released that changes the way it reads the touchscreen hardware, such that it can "sort of" detect two touches. This hack fails when X and Y axes align, and it often loses track of which coordinates belong to which touch. Pinch zoom works because you're not generally pinching exactly down the axes.

No, it's the physical screen.

Indeed, and this is the reason I'm graveyarding my N1 for a Desire HD. Developing multitouch games on a quasi-multitouch device is unfortunately unacceptable. The 3G reception on the N1 is also abysmal.

I'm sorry Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

Reminds me of one of my favourite quotes:

"Atheism is a religion in the same way that 'not collecting stamps' is a hobby."

Someone call Uwe Boll!

They provided me with one of those at work and they're just plain awful to code with. I ended up ordering one of these:

Mechanical with Cherry MX brown keyswitches. Sooooo nice for coding and general typing.

I used to live on "Avenue Road". That always brought a chuckle whenever someone asked my address.

Not much good for an ATM though if you have someone waiting in line.

"Please enter your PIN."
*user types PIN...*
"1...5...7...9"
"You have $500,000 in your account."
*user gets mugged*

Not saying that it would be stupid enough to speak your PIN as you type it, but I wouldn't like random strangers knowing how much money I have in my account.

Seriously. First Person RPG, but a decent remake would be epic. That world was HUGE. Not Minecraft huge, but it'd take you many hours to walk from one side of the country to the other. That's not even including the convoluted procedural dungeons.

I LOVED the God mode in that...
"HRRMMMMM!!!!" *shoots ball of light*

Dog mode was cool too. :)

And if you wanted to remove one of the javax dependencies, you could use SWT instead of Swing.

Lua! :D

Stephen Conroy seems to think they should... :(
Ah but wait, the filter only actually blocks spams and scams.

I lost you at "could".
