Wow, sometimes I miss the obvious. Now that I’m using wordpress I thought I’d upload a test photo using Picasa, Google’s decent linux photo software (f-spot, my everyday photo app, doesn’t have a blogging option). However, their “Blog This!” button only works with blogger.com…apparently google bought blogger.com some time around 2003. Wow, where have I been?!

There seems to be a lot of confusion around Bubblet, Bubblets, Jawbreaker, and Bubble Breaker. Namely, because some people have copied the game and not even had the common decency to change the name. One developer/copier even refused to change the name of his clone after repeated requests based on documented customer confusion. I suppose it’s always easier to trick customers into buying fakes of a well-known brand than to legitimately interest them with a new product. Sigh.

The original version of the game and all other legitimate versions of the game come ONLY from oopdreams software. This includes Bubblet for Palm OS, Bubblets for Windows CE, Jawbreaker for Pocket PC and Smartphones, and Bubble Breaker for Pocket PC and Smartphones. The latter 2 ship built-in to all recent Windows-powered handhelds and smartphones.

Here are links to the “real deal”:

Bubblet for Palm OS

Bubblet / Bubblets for Windows CE Pocket PCs and Handheld PCs

Bubblet / Bubblets for Windows Desktop

Please do not purchase or support the fakes!

I have grown a bit tired of blogspot so will be trying wordpress.com for all my blogging needs.  I like the default look quite a bit.
