One discussion that came up last night was the Proprietary companies locking
out community developers and hence forth missing out on increased popularity
etc..

eg.  games companies  kill off game mods, instead of embracing the
modding community and increasing there popularity.

this kinda reminded me of that.  the fact that id software released the
source code to quake 2 & 3 and hence its been ported to almost any
platform.

quake 3 on android phone.

You should by now be well aware that there's no
shortage<http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/28/50-android-games-demonstrated-in-one-video-who-says-android-c/>
of
games one can play on one's beloved Droid, but just for the FPS old
schoolers out there, how's about a nice *Quake 3* port to pass the time
with? Yup, the game that defined the term multiplayer before *World of
Warcraft* came around has been enabled on the Android OS, finally finding
another mobile home after residing on Nokia

for
so long. For its short development time, this looks a very well refined
translation of the software and offers you customizable controls to go with
thoroughly playable frame rates. And if you have an older Android phone,
don't despair -- Quake 2 has also been ported over, so once you've had an
eyeful of the Droid, why not hit the source link to find out how to get in
on the action?
