There's also a new Flash Gordon movie down the line, and--while not previoulsy a movie--a John Carter of Mars project for 2012; hell, there's even a new Barbarella due out this year.
However, just becuase this is a remake of TOS (and because this is J.J. Abrams) doesn't necessarily mean the movie will be that bad, or bad at all. Granted, M:I III was terrible, and I never cared for Lost or Alias, but I actually liked what he tried to do with Cloverfield, even if the end result was stunted by the awful dialogue and its delivery and some of the behavior of the characters. Revisiting the original Trek characters might be daunting, but the cast, while younger-looking, seems spot on. Time will tell, though. And while few of his movies are actually good, Kevin smith praised both Watchmen and Star Trek after private screenings of both, for what that's worth.
The Register's article begins with:
Microsoft today lifted the lid on 14,000 pages of sketchy versions of tech documentation for core software code. And as you pointed out, even the Office Documents Protocols section in the msdn site you link to opens with:
The documentation provided on this website is preliminary documentation and is subject to change in future documentation releases. Documentation being sketchy and subject to change tells me that microsoft has no intention of letting the code anyone else besides microsoft comes up with be implementable.
More importantly, he's been at this for decades and has seen more misinterpretations, frauds, mistakes and lies than anyone out there. You obviously don't work in Redmond.
This is _exactly_ what most people that wanted Linux pre-installed in their PCs said they wouldn't do: whine about details. Why can't I get a better battery? Why is it only 50$ cheaper? Why is it gray?... We wanted this; now it's time we show we can backup our statements with cash.
Vote. Wallet. Now.
This new series (which looks like a continuation of the previous Clone Wars) will be directed by Dave Filoni http://imdb.com/name/nm1396048/ (Avatar, Dave the Barbarian), and in my opinion is a step down from Tartakowsky. We'll just have to see if the writing staff does as good a job with this as before. Also: Please, George, no more 5 minute episodes! Those were a torture...
I think computer controlled opponents should provide a certain level of challenge without falling into the impossible; and this http://www.nerogame.org/ looks to me like a step in the right direction.

He is a geek, after all.
