Erik is not feeling well hope you get better soon Erik! I've been fighting a cold for the last week, but I've kept it at bay. Hopefully going uphill now. Anyway, here's a mini-list of quick links, Erik-style. Paltry compared to the deep-wide filtering Erik does. It's good I don't do this every day. :-)

• Russ posted a great analysis of piracy in the mobile industry. Must read. He also posted some thoughts on a mobile all-digital PTT app.
  
• Jim has posted a table of mobitopia postings per user. *Shame* *Shame*. I've been completely inactive in November. In fact, in the last couple of weeks I've barely logged into the #mobitopia channel. I miss it! December looks better though.
  
• From James Gosling: The Peter Principle, software developers' version. Heh.
  
• (Via Erik, Alan) A new site for promoting Java Web Start applications has been launched.
  
• From Carlos: Open Source under the Microscope
  
• James mentions a Looking Glass demo. Looking Glass is a 3D GUI system, a research project by Sun (I mentioned it a sometime ago when I was talking about Sun's new strategy). I wonder: when are we going to move beyond the demo phase and see some binaries? (Or code, Schwartz mentioned it was going to be an open source project).

Ok. That's it for now. Back to work. :)
