spending 3 years searching for 0days and writing fixes full-time (previously I wrote code on Apple platforms for 20 years). By the end of that 3 years I had found many major issues and wrote many major fixes, such as a proper encryption class for their android app. I was getting great reviews from my manager, but suddenly they decided to lay me off saying that I hadn't written enough code for the *old team* I came out of - something that my manager had never even once asked me to do.

Playing games on a phone is appealing for several reasons: 1. unique content you can't get on the PC or game console, 2. the games are much, much cheaper, 3. you can't play games on your console when you are waiting in line, 4. some games don't require a large screen to be played, 5. you can't find a lot of games which use an accelerometer or a touch screen outside of iPod Touch/iPhone. games on the wii perhaps, but a wii controller is drastically different from an accelerometer.

I wonder what percentage of slashdot readers *actually* didn't know about wearable computers. Probably less than 20%. The means of taking a gumstix, attaching a bluetooth twiddler, and a kopin eyepiece and looking like one of the Borg is pretty widespread knowledge. Or just mounting a smartphone on your waist and using it with a bluetooth keyboard and an audial interface.

Why do you need to *collect* tribbles? Once you get infested by them, they crawl all over the ship like rats.. :/

Aww c'mon. Kirk resolved *plenty* of conflicts without throwing people across the room. :D

I highly recommend this book. There are so many amazing things one can do with ruby, and knowing them can save a lot of time and make the code easier to read too.

It will still be an amazing device nonetheless. Not just because of what it can do, but because of the thousands of awesome apps that can run on it.

Good job on bringing this out in the open. Maybe with enough visibility, AT&T will finally do something about this.
