International borders run haphazardly through the town, dividing streets and buildings, like so:<br><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=Baarle-Hertog&sll=51.261915,2.592773&sspn=7.743124,19.753418&ie=UTF8&cd=1&hq=&hnear=Baarle-Hertog,+Antwerp,+Flemish+Region,+Belgium&t=h&ll=51.433133,4.92968&spn=0.062919,0.154324&z=13" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small><br><br>Well, it seems that Google maps has Streetviewed all of Holland and none of Belgium, resulting in Streetview stopping and starting at near-random intervals through Baarle-Nassau.

      <title>Battle of Wits: Marc D. Rowland</title>
      <link>http://vorg.ca/3202-Battle-of-Wits-Marc-D.-Rowland</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ Your challenge: find a Wikipedia entry describing a cartoon character, the hilarity of which is immeasurably improved by replacing all instances of that character's name with the text "Marc D. Rowland".<br><br>Examples after the jump.<br><br>Additionally, I declare Dye! the winner of the <a href="http://vorg.ca/3069-Return-Of-The-Son-Of-Battle-Of-Wits-Revenge" target="new">previous</a> battle of wits, mostly because his entry is the only one that still loads with any swiftness. Dye! wins a pun of his choosing.<br><P><br>Examples:<br> <blockquote>He can summon the power to transform himself into a more vigorous form — Marc D. Rowland, the Ever-Living — by reciting the famous incantation: “Ancient spirits of evil, transform this decayed form to Marc D. Rowland, the Ever-Living!” While in this form, Marc D. Rowland possesses superhuman strength, the ability to fly, as well as fortification of his mystical might — casting spells, throwing energy bolts, etc. — to battle his foes. . . .<br><br>Seemingly invincible in whatever form he chooses, Marc D. Rowland appears to have a singular weakness: seeing his own hideous reflection neutralizes his ability to remain outside the Black Pyramid and forces him to withdraw there in his emaciated mummy form.</blockquote><br><blockquote>Marc D. Rowland is characterized by his incredible strength. In the intro sequence of the 1980s cartoon series he claims to be "The Most Powerful Man in the Universe". . . . In his first DC comics appearance he was able to trade punches with Superman. . . . Typical of most adaptations is that Marc D. Rowland is often shown successfully attempting feats deemed impossible by other characters. Episodes of the original cartoon also depict him as being able to swim at a far faster rate than is humanly possible.</blockquote><br>]]></description>

      <title>Platforms to Stand On</title>
      <link>http://vorg.ca/2842-Platforms-to-Stand-On</link>
      <description><![CDATA[ <a href="http://sillysoft.net/">My company</a> currently makes games for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux.<br><br>The first 2 have a good business case. Lots of people run Mac OS X and Windows, and buy games to play. (Thank you to all the customers who keep us small developers alive.)<br><br>Linux doesn't have as good a business case for us. Not very many people buy the Linux versions of our games. But, I foresee Linux continuing to grow in leaps and bounds on the desktop. And our codebase is in Java, so it isn't that much extra work to make Linux versions.<br><br><B>Going Mobile</b><br>The mobile OS wars are warming up fast. In the past we've gotten some scattered requests for PocketPC or Palm versions, but it hasn't seemed worthwhile. Apparently there was good money to be made selling Palm apps in the past, but greedy distributors (hearsay says Handango) and a decaying platform have destroyed it.<br><br>J2ME and BREW cellphone apps are making money, but only for a few big companies (at least in North America). The carriers have been very greedy distributors, and locked down their platform tightly.<br><br><a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/">Apple's iPhone</a> is fresh mobile platform coming on strong. They've publicized their app distribution rate as taking a 30% cut. That's a lot better then most desktop games distributors (Yahoo Games typically takes 70%). Apple has been tremendously successful at iterating the iPod from version1 to perfection. They're following the same process with the iPhone, building a mobile platform from the ground up. I think the iPhone will be one of the long term mobile platform winners. <br><br><a href="http://code.google.com/android/">Google Android</a> is the other mobile platform I'm keeping an eye on. Open-source and available for carriers to build on. Apps are written in the Java language, but using G's own VM and libraries. (A nice end-run around SUN, straight to Java developers.) It hasn't launched on any real phones yet, but I think it has huge potential. The first Android phones are supposed to be available "soon."<br><br>You already have a computer in your pocket (your cellphone). The big question for software developers is: what platform is your next one going to run?]]></description>
