Gosh, there it is in related links. That'll teach me to search for him by name and not by the name of the book he wrote.

Unless you are running the google voice app on you phone, In which case you get a nice nice little "you have a new voice mail popup"

If your phone is incapable of running the Google Voice app (e.g. iPhone) you can set it up to email or sms you when a new voice mail arrives.

Let me improve that analogy for you. It's like replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket model that makes use of the GPS and Onstar-type hardware for which I already have a lifetime subscription

When I bought my G1, I bought the rights to use the google experience apps. I have the rights to backup and restore those apps. Cyanogen was effectively performing that task for me. The apps he distributed were identical to the ones I could have backed up and restored myself. Indeed, that is how we will have to "work around" Googles C&D.

Busshy writes "Tmbinc has posted a video showing Snes 9X as the first homebrew for the Xbox 360. This coincides with the upcoming release of the Free60 project, which will turn the 360 into the most powerful console for homebrew to date, hopefully with emulators for the Dreamcast, Gamecube, PS2, Xbox and possibly even the Wii."

In a scathing response to Ballmer's remarks, Red Hat's IP team said the reality is that the community development approach of free and open-source code represents a healthy development paradigm, which, when viewed from the perspective of pending lawsuits related to intellectual property, is at least as safe as proprietary software. "We are also aware of no patent lawsuit against Linux. Ever. Anywhere," the team said in a blog posting."
