If Google could tweak their language a tad, maybe they could coerce handset makers and carriers to either more frequently approve updates or allow customers to bypass the vendor and carrier and self-install. This might also require rules designed to keep handset makers and/or carriers from de-standardizing Android so much that updates can't be applied or are onerous to create (which gives them an excuse to not create them...)
I have to admit, this is really my biggest problem with my Android device. It's a Motorola Milestone running 2.1. It's capable of running 2.3, but I doubt it will ever see an official update.
It stands for Defense of the Ancients. Basically the game consists of two teams of player-controlled heroes defending their own team's base while attacking the other's.

They have decompiled source code and have posted it on GitHub.
What the hell is a DotA?

If you read the developer's FAQ page you see that the go-oo patches will be merged with LibreOffice.
Alas, gaming slashdot is not actually a game.
With just about any DX10 GPU, she could have GPU-accelerated flash. Firefox wouldn't have needed the Farmville tweak on her machine.

Did I just see a link to Encyclopedia Dramatica on the Slashdot front page?
I'm glad to see this level-headed decision coming out of my own home state of Ohio. I hope eventually similar rulings will be made regarding laptops.
I love you guys.
As long as they don't get any ISP level laws passed, let them have their minor victories.

How about "Play games on your xbox."
