Short answer: I wear wrist braces to sleep (I just use some weight-lifting gloves with velcro wrist-straps).

Back story:

About a year or two back, I was working long hours and started to develop wrist pain. At the time, I 'asked' google the same question and came upon a recommendation (can't remember where to give credit) to wear wrist braces when sleeping.

I didn't really think about it again until a couple of weeks later when I woke up with my head resting on my hand and my wrist bent back underneath it. I started wearing braces to bed and the problem I'd been dealing with for a couple of months was pretty much gone in a week and a half.

I'm guessing children's names.

A quick check of popular baby names in the US (here: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/) shows Michael and Daniel to still be quite popular. All four names mentioned appear several times in the top 15 baby names for years between 1979 and 2000 or so. Nicole averages around the 7th most popular name for the 80's.

As nickaugust says below, the hardware and the OS support multi-touch. It's just that Google's bundled apps don't use this support.

As to the 190MB limit, this is true for executable bundles, but apps and games are free to use the rest of the storage for resources (datastores, textures, models, etc.). Also, at the Nexus One event yesterday, it was noted that Google is working on the ability to use the SD card for app storage.

It should probably be noted that the Python implementation currently works much differently than the C++ and Java implementations.

The C++ and Java versions generate code for each message type defined in a your proto file (in fact there an option that let's you specify to optimize for speed). The python version on the other hand creates an object representing the proto file, and reflects upon it for serialization/deserialization.
