Symbian? Ha ha, who cares. I’ll never write code for a phone that hardly anyone owns.
I downloaded the Microsoft embedded Visual C++ development system for free, then got the free registration code from Tech Republic and right away I’m coding C++ apps for my 200 MHz Windows Mobile based CECT M88 phone, a phone that cost me only $230 and is a quadband unlocked GSM phone so I can use it anywhere on the planet.

PS: What the RIAA practices is correctly referred to as “corporate terrorism”.
John your “squarespace” link in this article is broke it is just missing the second s “squarepace”
cheers
Got the Palm SDK and got started. The emulator runs under the VirtualBox VM. The dev environment is either command line and editor or through Eclipse. Therefore everything runs on Linux, Mac, or Windows. Very smart.
So far everything seems pretty straightforward. Of course, there are no Pre’s in Canada so all this is moot. 😉
They didn’t lose the tape. It was worse. They did what everyone did once or twice – they accidentally recorded over it.
Hmmmm. Office 2010 Online is all Javascript. Not one little hint of Silverlight anywhere. In fact MS is bundling JQuery into asp.net.
Must snicker to myself and savour a scotch.
NASA: #4 you really believe that?… The only rational explanation is not in the realm of insane mistakes or conspiracy theories: No official organization quickly claimed the tapes for whatever bureaucratic reason (possible) -> some private individual took home the treasure (in that era completely possible). NASA doesn’t know what really happened (read detailed report, they are just guessing that the tapes were recorded over, no hard evidence).
John – all you had to do was ask – my Dad worked on the Apollo mission – off to email mom right now.
I was given access to Popfly two years back.
Supposedly one could mash up sites and webservices. I couldn’t mash up an external webservice and frankly found it to be a sandbox to highschool-esque development/techy people to be a different facebook. (IMHO)
Short story, Logged in a few times two years ago and never looked back.
If the Russians think we went to the moon you can be sure we went to the bloody moon.
Besides Apollo left a laser target which people on Earth have been bouncing laser off of for decades to measure small changes in the lunar orbit.
If it wasn’t there I kind of think people would notice.
With all the real conspiracies, scams, and out right cons out there it amazes me that Adam has go for the crap ones.
