Nokia are pushing the JSR-184 Mobile 3D API for J2ME. From the API documents:
The objective of the Mobile 3D Graphics API Expert Group was to provide an efficient 3D Graphics API suitable for the J2ME platform, in particular CLDC/MIDP. The API is targeted at CLDC class of devices that typically have very little processing power and memory, and no hardware support for 3D graphics or floating point math. The API has been defined such that implementations on that kind of hardware are feasible. However, the API also scales up to higher-end devices featuring a color display, a DSP, a floating point unit, or even specialized 3D graphics hardware.
The low level parts of the API are simply a subset of OpenGL. Only the very latest mobile phones support this API. In fact, I'm not sure if any phones supporting it are available to consumers yet.
Sometimes, it will give you a root of x^2 - 7; other times, value of pi or phi. Once it even gave me the answer to the meaning of life, the universe and everything!
I wondered why the word 'radio' is used to describe these buttons for about a year before I came up with this explanation: 'radio' is used to show that the buttons are able to communicate with each other through some invisible medium so that only one is active at a time.
The best uncapped broadband you can get in South Africa is 64Kbps off-peak and 32Kbps peak for R950 ($141). The telecomuinications monopoly of Telkom means that it is illegal to use wifi over public areas (like roads). Telkom do offer ADSL but they limit you to 3GB of international bandwidth per month and charge (I think) about R700 ($104).
This PL = 1000 thing is not bad for p2p. The economy of p2p works differently to that of the real world because data is never consumed or transfered, it is only copied which means that the network will only continue to grow despite freeloaders. See In Praise of Freeloading.

Basically, I invented a simple but mind-blowingly fast algorithm for solving complex equations:
#include <stdlib.h>
double solve(void) {
return rand()
}

I guess I am one of such a 'future generation'...

In high school (at least mine), the number of people worth talking to about computers/programming/open-source is exactly two.
This could be really cool for ad-hoc wireless networks.
A prime example of what I was taught to be impossible at school.
That's Ja well no fine, boet.
Perhaps the DMCA might have one useful purpose...
