Trimming in Public is a series where I go through my list of 293 RSS feeds, 10 feeds at a time, give some detail as to why I subscribed to a particular feed, and then decide whether or not to keep on consuming that feed. In Episode 1, I explained what RSS is and how…
Weekend Videos: Palm Pre in beer, N900 can autofocus for recording video, Samsung Giorgio Armani
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but this is the start of week 42 of 2009, meaning that there are only 10 weeks left until the start of a new decade. Pretty exciting stuff. I can vividly remember when the ball dropped in NYC and it turned 2000. I was there. Something that wasn’t so…
Adobe Photoshop released for the iPhone; it’s free by the way
Adobe has just released Photoshop for the Apple iPhone. I can’t review it since I don’t have an iPhone, but I know lots of you who will probably now spend hours at a time tweaking your images to make that pimple disappear and that second chin a little less obvious. Enjoy playing with this over…
Apple App Store filled with people squatting application names
You’ve heard of cybersquatting, right? It’s when you register a url, such as windows7.com and hope that at some point Microsoft looks up the “whois” data behind that URL and contacts you with an offer of a handsome fee in exchange for transferring rights of the URL to their web team. Domain name squatters suck,…
Giorgio Armani and Samsung copy the Nokia N97 Mini, throw on Windows Mobile 6.5
I had to do a double take when I saw this photo up on Engadget. What you’re looking at is a device with no formal name, I’m serious, it doesn’t have a name, but with specs that are pretty impressive: 3.5 inch OLED display, Windows Mobile 6.5, 5 megapixel camera, QWERTY keyboard, 8 GB storage…
Brief: Confirmed: Maemo 6 to bring support for multi touch and capacitive screens
When the Nokia N900 was announced, mobile phone geeks were split right down the middle. The EU and Asian media were excited that Nokia has finally done something different with the UI, while the USA was a bit pissed the device had a resistive touch screen and lacked multi touch. There were exceptions on both…
Teen kicks mom in the throat, head butts brother, bites father, all because his fone was taken away
In Falmouth, Massachusetts, some little punk bitch teenager kicked his mom in the throat, head butted his brother and took a bite out of his father, all because his mommy took away his mobile phone. Police said his mom took away his mobile phone after he hit his 15 year old brother. The 18 year…
Video: Qt 4.6 running on Nokia’s N900; this is what Nokia is betting on
Nokia currently has three operating systems: S40, Symbian and Maemo. I know S30 still exists for ultra low end fones, but forget about that for a second. If you’re a developer looking at creating a native application, you’re going to have to write three different applications. Nokia wants to make your life easier, and the…
Nokia’s Indian giving: Everyone at the Maemo Summit gets a Nokia N900, has to return it in 6 months
The Maemo Summit is currently taking place in Amsterdam right now and I’m watch the live coverage pouring out of the recently launched All About Maemo website. One thing that strikes me as odd is that Nokia is giving everyone at the show a pre production Nokia N900, but then they’re expected to return it…
All WebKit based browsers should be the same, right? Wrong; they’re all unique, and Nokia’s suck.
The video above is something Ricky Cadden from Symbian Guru and I made over 2 years ago, before the iPhone was even released. Until today, I believed stating your mobile browser was based on WebKit meant absolutely nothing since all WebKit browsers rendered websites in the exact same way. Turns out I was wrong, very…
