Maps on Android, Security Laws, Trough of Potential, and Enterprise Gamification

OSMdroid -- The OpenStreetMapView is a (almost) full/free replacement for Android's MapView class. Also see this tutorial. (via Simon Gianoutsos)
10 Immutable Laws of Security (Microsoft) -- an oldie but a goodie. Law #1: If a bad guy can persuade you to run his program on your computer, it's not your computer anymore.
What's in The Trough? (BERG London) -- as a predictor or similar tool for action, the Gartner Hype Cycle is comically useless. As a tool for brainstorming, as BERG point out, it's fantastic.
JP Rangaswami's Enterprise Gamification (Livestream) -- video of JP's "Enterprise Gamification" talk. As Kevin Slavin points out, the introduction is cheesily bad but the talk is pantswettingly good.

It's interesting that you quoted Law #1, which is certainly not immutable. Sandboxing is possible; if Microsoft can't figure out how to implement it that's their problem.
