Seriously...long week anyone?
I put up WebOSJournal on the PreCentral homebrew gallery. Still plenty of work to be done, of course...
What every programmer should know about memory - really long article (and it's only Part 1!) but I learned a lot. (and remembered a lot from college classes :-) )
Apropos of net neutrality, How Robber Barons hijacked the "Victorian Internet" (i.e. the telegraph system). The short version is that there was no government regulation and Western Union/AP fixed an election and conspired to keep non-AP newspapers out of business. Less government regulation doesn't always equal more open markets!
Drug-Makers Paying Off Competitors To Keep Cheap Generics Off Market - pretty much what the headline says. It sucks, but apparently it's legal.
No one wants America to be the sole global superpower, but no one wants to share the load.

Does anyone else have this problem?
Usually the way it works with me is this (I'll use the iPod as a case study, since that's what I'm in the middle of right now):
- I hear about an iPod. Sounds kinda neat, but whatever. (wait anytime from a few days to a few months)
- Still thinking I don't want one, I learn some more about it. Wow, this thing has some cool features! It makes toast AND does laundry! I decide that I want one. This is a dangerous phase, as I can be an impulse buyer (lasts a few days to a week or two)
- If I haven't bought it, I convince myself that it's not really that great, and I would never use an iPod anyway (lasts weeks to many months)
- I slowly start learning more about an iPod, and convince myself that it really is that cool, and it would be awesome to own one, and I would too use it sometimes, maybe. Then I either buy it, or go back to the previous step.
I think I'm back to step 3 about an iPod for now. Anyway, I think I'm gonna get a new cell phone - mine has pretty bad battery life at this point, and I can upgrade for cheap (thanks, T-Mobile!).
Man, what a long day. Can't wait to start the weekend!
