Howard writes about how text messaging is changing the face of world politics
TheFeature :: Political Texting: SMS and Elections
From the article:
Texting and electoral politics are the strange bedfellows of the 21st century. The use of SMS for political action is only in its infancy, but has already enabled citizens to topple governments and tip elections from Manila to Madrid. The electoral power of texting could be an early indicator of future social upheaval: whenever people gain the power to organize collective action on new scales, in new places, at new tempos, with groups they had not been able to organize before, societies and civilizations change.

Encode Windows Media on the Mac
Windows Media Format for Mac
Doesn't Cleaner do this? This seems to integrate with QuickTime and therefore it's capabilities should be available in any QuickTime app. This would be better than only being able to use Cleaner. Anyone have experience with it?

Run MIDP 2 on your Mac
mpowerplayer
From the site:
mpowerplayer is a MIDP runtime written in pure Java.
Think of it as an appletviewer for midlets. If you know why that's useful, then this tool is for you.
With mpowerplayer you can run J2ME applications on your desktop computer. If you like, you can play the same games that run on your phone on your desktop.
