What is a similar but better choice than an iPhone?

Q. I want to get a new phone but I'm guessing there might be cooler choices out there than the iPhone. Some of the features I'm looking for:
1) Ability to zoom in on photos as much as possible.
2) If there are any that can view PDF files, that would be great.
3) A lot of storage space.
4) A realistically affordable plan.

A. Google Android phones. Right now there are not many phones out there running it, but once it takes over (Which I predict it will (Well, they are google...)), it will make development for mobile platforms much easier, and thus allowing for a much better device as a whole. However, you can already get a lot of features on an iPhone, and more (by jailbreaking). just to give you some examples of awesome jailbreak apps, you can download youtube movies and play them while offline, customize pretty much everything, play Quake (If you don't know what it is, you need to play it now! (Awesome old video game alert!)), and play games from various consoles from the NES to the PlayStation. See! If you use it other than the way than Apple intended, it actually becomes an actually useful device! (Otherwise, you are confined to Apple-controlled apps.) Basically, what I'm saying is that you should get an iPhone and jailbreak it. It does everything you've described with some free apps you can find on the app store (And probably jailbreak apps too)... (Except I don't know about the affordable plan thing, because I don't actually own an iPhone, but I do own an iPod Touch.) (They're just about the same, only the iPhone can make calls and record sound and pictures. Otherwise, there is absolutely no difference.) Hope this helps somewhat.

Can you make profit with software under the GNU license?
Q. I am an aspiring game developer. I'd like to know if the following situation is legal:

I create a game using software that is published under the GNU license, such as Code::Blocks, The MinGW Compiler, etc.

After creating this game, I post it online and sell it for profit.

Can I do this, or can't I? Furthermore, am I allowed to make money from ad revenue?

A. That depends if the software you create is a derivative of a GNU licensed program. If you link your program to an object library that is licensed under the GPL, your program becomes a derivative of the GPL library and you must therefore release it under the terms of the GPL. Otherwise your license to the library is terminated and you are effectively pirating the library as soon as you release the derivative work.

If you use the id Tech 3 (Quake 3) engine or the freshly open-sourced id Tech 4 (Doom 3) engine to create your game, your game is a derivative work of the engine and you must therefore license it under GPL or buy a commercial license, which costs USD 10,000 but permits the release as proprietary software. This is called dual-licensing because id offers its product under two separate licensing conditions.

The code a compiler creates however is not considered to be a derivative of the compiler itself. Therefore you can use the GNU compiler (which is the basis for MinGW) to compile proprietary software. In fact many other platforms use GCC as their default compiler (and few bother replacing it): Commercial games for iOS, Android and Playstation 3 are usually built using the GCC. The same is true of course for pretty much all the remaining tools you use to create the game (IDE, Editor, Graphics, Sound, whatever).

No you don't need to assign copyright to the FSF. This is only the case when you contribute to one of the projects maintained by the FSF, not to GPL software in general.
