Blizzard recently talked to videogamer.com and spoke about the industries shift towards DRM and their stance on it.  Basically it seems that Blizzard realizes that DRM will simply disallow honest gamers to access their content during glitches while pirates play cracked software (ie the whole Assassin’s Creed 2 fiasco).

It is hard, sometimes, to realize that Adobe makes any product other than Flash, but yesterday they launched Adobe Reader for the Android platform.  This ended up replacing a different app for me though.  I had been using Aldiko for my ebook reading and it worked excellent, but had one major problem.  All of the ebooks I have are in .pdf format and Aldiko only reads epub.
