I was true when I said Windows Mobile wasn’t dead yet after the coming of Windows Mobile 6.5 but the mobile OS is bound to suffer a death blow with restrictions. Presently the Windows Marketplace has put out restrictions on developers and any app failing to meet those will not get an approval. A few of those restrictions include (you can read more here): Applications that link to, incent users to download, or otherwise promote alternate marketplaces. Apps that enable VoIP services (forget Skype). Applications that run code outside Microsoft runtimes (native, managed, and widgets).

I drink tea, never coffee, a habit I picked up as a young boy from my grandmother and great-grandmother. They liked to gossip while sipping their brews, elbows propped on their kitchen table, and afterward would push their chairs away, sit back and place one warm, wet tea bag atop each of their closed eyes. Once I asked what they were doing, and my grandmother assured me, “It’s good for you,” then proceeded to hold forth on the value of various home remedies. It turns out that the caffeine in tea can restrict the blood vessels under your eyes, thus reducing puffiness, so Mama Nor and Rari were on to something. But I always wondered, how did they know? The answer, of course, is that they had generations of trial-and-error results handed down to them; the best methods survive and evolve. By industrializing this process of investigation and experimentation, pharmaceutical companies have dramatically expanded and accelerated it. In just the past couple of decades, drug p
