AFAIK, they've got no patent in Romania, one of the biggest manufacturers of "unlicensed" AK-47s. So Romania cannot be forced to cease production through legal means. Of course, there's always the gas flowing from the Big Russian brother, but that's another story.
Of course.
From Wikipedia: "Last.fm is an Internet radio station and music recommendation system".
The pay royalties just as any other internet radio station, so they will be affected too.
Use radiobee.com to listen to streaming radio. It's a Java midlet that enables your phone to listen to any station streaming over the internet in mp3 format.
I work for a company that develops games on the JavaME platform. While I am not a programmer, I can tell you that many of our programmers would love to develop native Symbian applications. They say it's much more easier and that they can do in 10 lines of code the same thing that Java does in 10. Of course, what they really hate is the fact that even though java code is cross-platform, they still have to adjust the same application for each device (different device specifications, of course)
However, as a tester, I hate Symbian. It is SLOW. Just turn on a Nokia N93 (the most performant processor on the consumer market, at least until some months ago) and see how much it takes just to start up the system. Then enter the main menu for the first time and be ready to wait again. Do you want to remove some of the installed applications? Just wait for the OS to scan the phone for them (as if it doesn't know what is already installed). Then remove. Then wait again until Symbian scans again.
Symbian usability is a joke. Ever tried to connect a device through a GPRS connection? There are THREE places in the seemingly infinite tree of menus you have to go. Why can't they just place all the internet settings in one location?
Do we need this complexity in our mobile devices? Do we have to turn the mobile phone in a PC? If this is the only way, we should do it better, at least.
And don't, please, don't remind me of Windows CE. Try the 'cool' Sony Ericsson P990, you'll know what I'm talking about.
After reading your comment, I really think you should really read what some KDE developers are saying about the deal.
Who knows, were it for MS to start deciding things in Novell's yard, we might see KDE as the default desktop in SLED!:))
Actually, the next big thing might be the open-source coke, released under GPL. For those of legal age, I recommend the free (as in "free speech") beer.

Did you try using Decrapifier?
... they'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.
I like rule 34 more.
Forgvie him, he was jsut udner the wethre.
That's because Apple computers use single-button mice.
... or lately there's no thinkofthechildren tag tagged on stories that really need it?

Mod parent up for he speaks the truth.
Right, someone should create such a thing. We could even call it Sla... Oh, wait...

That sig of yours...

...welcome our press-monitoring AI overlords! It's just an AI, dammit!
...before some Korean geek will release unde GPL and torrent Bill Gates' decoded genome. I'm eagerly waiting for the forks.
