It depends on the device's form factor, but to protect things like phones, PDAs, tablet PCs, etc. from humidity, water and sand you can use a Foodsaver and cryovac it.
This is what I did because of my Sprint AIRRAVE and Sprint did not waive the monthly fee. They did, however, credit $240 to my account (actually, it's $20 a month for two years) if I agreed to renew my contract.
The first thing I'd recommend is to get the Software Project Survival Guide. It doesn't apply to all projects, of course, but it's an invaluable guide and source of best practices for team-based software development.
Another science video site is SciTalks, which I helped launch last week. Users can vote videos up or down, submit links and videos, and create (and share) playlists. It's a pretty cool site.
Drupal's custom content types, powerful taxonomy system and modular addons turn it into whatever you want. Your assertion that it's "overgrown blogging software" makes it clear you haven't used it.
DrupalEd is a new distribution of the Drupal CMS. While I haven't used it in an educational environment, I have at one time or another used all of the contributed modules included in it. Installing DrupalEd -- as opposed to installing the Drupal base and then all of the contributed modules -- saves somewhere between 10-30 hours, depending on the skill of the person installing it.
Drupal can be made to do just about anything you want, so adding more functionality like ERP, PubCookie, LDAP integration, etc. isn't a problem. CiviCRM is, in my opinion, a must-have for most organizations and small- to mid-sized businesses.
There was a demo last night of GH2 at the postmortem usergroup's "Harmonix party" (in Central Square, Cambridge) close to where Harmonix is based). I didn't know it was happening until about an hour before I went, or I'd probably taken a camera and a bottle of water (the minibar was selling them for $2 [but the pizza was free!]).
The line was pretty long, even with people going up two at a time (the multiplayer co-op mode was pretty interesting). Unfortunately, there was only one venue to play in the demo. One of the speakers from Harmonix said that they finally got to do with GH2 what they originally wanted to do with GH1. He said "not a lot" has changed in the gameplay, though, although he sounded really happy with the "revolutionary" additions such as pull-offs.
I'd say more, but I don't know how much of what I learned from the developers is public. It didn't sound, though, like they've started development on PS3 hardware yet.
Apparently, postmortem has these meetings once a month. Ask around if you're in the Boston area.
ScanZoom is probably the most "complete" solution and sounds like what you're looking for. It runs on Palm and Symbian camera phones.
You can also scan barcodes with Barcode/13 and look them up yourself. Hold down a button for a while and Barcode/13 "scans" and copies the barcode to the Palm clipboard. Unfortunately, the pictures that my Treo 600 takes are too saturated for it to work. I've heard that it works really well with the 650's camera, though.
I havent used it myself but Ive heard good things about CallShield, a utility I came across when I had a Treo about two years ago. It sounds precisely what youre looking for.
I'd probably be using Workrave if I could but there's no version for OS X. I use AntiRSI instead, which has a smooth, minimalist interface. (It's open source freeware, too, and is a universal binary.)
AntiRSI keeps its onscreen graphics in TIFF format in/Applications/AntiRSI.app/Contents/Resources/ and I've replaced the small 300x300 images with widescreen versions. Now the AntiRSI overlay "dims" my entire screen and prevents any attempt to click out of it.
I installed it and rolled the system clock a few years and it still seems to run. Section 2 of the license agreement, however, says:
2. Term. THE SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN A TIME-OUT FEATURE THAT DISABLES ITS OPERATION AFTER A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME OR AFTER A DATE SPECIFIED IN THE SOFTWARE (the "Expiration Date"). The term of this Agreement ("Term") shall begin when you download or install the Software and shall continue until the Expiration Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Zimmermann may terminate this Agreement immediately if you fail to comply with any of the limitations or other requirements in this Agreement. Upon any termination or expiration of this Agreement, you must immediately cease use of the Software and the Documentation and destroy all copies of the Software and Documentation.
It may not even matter. The installer package (for version 0.0.1 build 27 on OS X) doesn't have the license agreement - it's the website with the download link that does.
Meanwhile, is the name zFone or Zfone? It may be trivial, but from a marketing point of view I believe it matters. The application's "zFone" menu doesn't even seem to know (there are two menu items that say "zFone" and two with "Zfone").
Thanks to Gmail, Orkut and Dodgeball (their recently acquired mobile phone-based social networking service) being under one roof, Google not only has the ability to know who you know, they also have the ability to know where you are and who you're with.
I don't want Google (or Microsoft or Yahoo or anyone else) to know that much about me. For this reason, I deleted my Dodgeball account immediately after the acquisition (and in general I've asked people not to email me using Gmail).

I'm working with the MIT FabLab in Boston, Mass, on Fabuntu:
The Fabuntu Project is built ontop of the Ubuntu operating system and inherits the ideas enshrined in the Ubuntu Manifesto: that software should be available free of charge, that software tools should be usable by people in their local language, and that people should have the freedom to customize and alter their software in whatever way they need. We are in the process of altering the Ubuntu distribution to fit the needs of FabLabs throughout the world. Our aim is to put usability first. We believe that the tools should JUST WORK!
I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned Benetech's Martus, a free, open source and multi-platform for encrypting and anonymously distributing information about human rights violations.
Why can't the news media use something like this?
Frankly, I'm even more surprised that nothing turned up when I searched/. to see if anyone had mentioned Martus in the past.
The login window in OS X uses the system administrator's layout, which is QWERTY by default (unless, I guess, a language other than English was chosen when OS X was installed). To change it, open System Preferences as root and then select Dvorak in the Localization panel.
sudo open/Applications/System\ Preferences.app
I prefer having Dvorak enabled by default, but there's also a "Show input menu in login window" option in the Accounts preferences panel (it's listed under Login Options).
I rearranged the keys on my PowerBook G4 in about 10 minutes. I did this when I switched to Dvorak, but I decided to clean my keyboard (top and bottom) at the same time. The keys were remarkably easy to move around, especially compared to those in the keyboards in the original iBooks.
Now I'm looking for a way to change the default keyboard layout in the loginwindow...
As an aside, I referred to the onscreen Keyboard Viewer (found in the Localization status menu) extensively during my transition to Dvorak. I found that this was much more practical than the physical hard copy recommended by DVzine.org.
