Really looking forward to seeing this.

I had no idea how useful marijuana could be until I had cancer at age 20. At first I avoided it, as I was trying to go to school full time during treatment, but eventually it got the point where I would wake up with every muscle in my body in pain, and the pills the doctor gave me stopped me from vomiting, but did nothing about the nausea; my stomach would do back flips every time I tried to eat. Smoking just a tiny amount of marijuana (I live in Canada were medicinal marijuana is legal nation wide) would make my muscles relax and the nausea disappear. I was shocked at how well it worked.

If any of my relatives in the States were to be diagnosed with cancer, I would not hesitate to encourage them to try it. Sure you're a bit stoned, but would you rather be slightly stoned every now and then and able to live a somewhat normal life during treatment, or spend the whole time in bed, in too much pain to do anything?

Guess everything depends on your definition of "open".

I saw a talk given by a Nokia engineer last week at an open source geospatial conference and his whole thing was making money by leveraging the built-in GPS in select Nokia phones. He kept pushing proprietary Nokia APIs that will pretty much ensure that porting your app to a non Symbian S60 device will be hell. Not quite "open" in the way rest of the conference was.
