Sigh.
In the past week, I've now seen at least three unauthorized
reproductions of our Palmgear submission, including incorrect screenshots,
incorrect descriptions, and completely misleading text. I've contacted them
all directly, so we should see corrections soon.

The last one appears to be a direct mirror of the Palmgear entry..
almost. When I update the Palmgear one, the one on
palmcomputing.palmgear.com is not updated, which means it must sync with
another database (i.e. a replication of our Palmgear submission).
What's funny is that they literally (with a mouse in a browser) did
a cut-and-paste of the description that showed up and pasted it into their
own submission forms, because the raw html I submitted included the
<HR> style syntax, so that it wouldn't show a raw <HR> in the HTML
page itself. Apparently they neglected to see that bit of code, and now
their description of Plucker includes a horizontal rule right in the middle
of it.
Hrmm... I wonder if their forms parse Javascript as well..

Have a good weekend, everyone, Mike, myself, and probably Bill
Janssen (?) will be at Linuxworld next week. I'm working the booth, so stop
on by.
