The Technium: The Maes-Garreau Point

http://www.kk.org/thetechnium/archives/2007/03/the_maesgarreau.php

The theory that futurists predictions tend to cluster within the futurist's lifetime. Unfortunately this is a terrible page. 1) Awful sexist ramblings about 'biological duplication' in the middle; 2) the data as presented hardly confirms the theory; 3) the data may even be intentionally misleading: fact-checking the first futurist I discovered that he gave a large date range spanning over 100 years; these guys have picked the lowest point on that range.

Initial report on bypassing Android's licensing verification. Newer games have ways of avoiding this particular technique, but overall bypassing remains easy as the design itself is flawed.
