in ada yonath droid gamers google links motorola nexus one smartphones
- Shakesville takes down a Kotaku post called “Five Steps to Total Pwnage of a Gamer Girl’s Heart.”
- An interview with Ada Yonath, Nobel laureate in chemistry
- Geek Feminism posts an open letter to Motorola about the for-macho-men-only ad they’ve been running for the Droid, and Ruby developer Mislav weighs in on the ads’ ineffectiveness
- And on the subject of smartphones, the big news is Google’s upcoming new unlocked smartphone, the Nexus One. There’s an interesting discussion in the Lifehacker comments about the possible impact on phone prices of having a popular unlocked phone available. (Any thoughts on either the Droid or the Nexus? I’m a woefully late adopter of smartphone technology — I’m getting a G1 in the mail this week, on the grounds that it’s free software [at least compared to the ultraproprietary iPhone!] and came free with plan!)
There are also always more links to blogs we like on the main posts page.

Gamasutra just published an article on the psychosexual development of video game culture. The author also links to Border House “[A] blog for gamers[,] a blog for those who are feminist, queer, disabled, people of color, transgendered, rich, poor, middle class, gay, lesbian, and others who belong to marginalized groups, as well as allies.”
