Windows … in a phone. How can anyone live with such a travesty? I’m sorry, but its awfully ugly. Is this the best you can do, Microsoft? Sorry, I’ve lost interest already.
Microsoft has just concluded its February 15 press conference at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where company officials showed off a demo unit of a Windows Phone 7 Series phone. But there are still lots of things we still have no idea about, after Microsoft’s hour-and-a-half mobile-strategy presentation.

I thought I’d find it hard to be disappointed with nokia anymore. This came as a surprise to me. Nokia is the assistant of dictators.
Nokia has been helping the Iran government with surveillance technology to track mobile phone users since this issue became known by the media in June of 2009.

Giant Corporation Bitch Fight! Google ups the ante on Apple, enabling multi-touch on the Nexus One after industry reports of Apple CEO calling Google’s philosophy a bunch of bulls**t

Multitouch just got multi-interesting. We all knew that Google was working with HTC and T-Mobile for a fix to the pesky 3G stability issues on the Nexus One, but the update is getting a wee bit more. Actually, a whole lot more when you consider that multitouch isn’t typically supported on the Google apps in Android. It is now — or at least, it will be when I get my over-the-air update. Engadget caught the news on the official Nexus…

yeahp. Don’t be evil. How is that a motto? It should just be a matter of fact. Evil will soon be exposed. Google has done plenty to change the game on many fields in technology, especially with their massive clout enabling them to give away software or services for free. Nothing evil or moral about it, except that they’ve pretty much been competent at their game. It just so happens to have, in bringing the game up a notch, enabled people along the way. Am I being ungrateful for saying this? Perhaps; I certainly do owe google a lot. I suspect good and evil may be more subjective than can be expressed in a single…

i have nothing but contempt for flash. as a company, adobe has been unforgivably tardy in getting compatibility and performance issues sorted. I believe flash single handedly killed the netbook user experience. Shut the hell up, adobe, until you get off your ass, no one’s on your side on this

One of the more disappointing (if unsurprising) parts of Apple’s launch of its iPad tablet computer today was the absence of Flash, Adobe’s technology for web video and other media. Now Adobe has responded in two blog posts — one that’s diplomatic, and another that’s not.

In the first, Adobe says it’s excited about the iPad,…

i have nothing but contempt for flash. as a company, adobe has been unforgivably tardy in getting compatibility and performance issues sorted. I believe flash single handedly killed the netbook user experience. Shut the hell up, adobe, until you get off your ass, no one’s on your side on this

One of the more disappointing (if unsurprising) parts of Apple’s launch of its iPad tablet computer today was the absence of Flash, Adobe’s technology for web video and other media. Now Adobe has responded in two blog posts — one that’s diplomatic, and another that’s not.

In the first, Adobe says it’s excited about the iPad, and it reminds developers of its Packager for the iPhone announced last year, which allows someone to export an application built for Flash into a format that works on the iPhone. Like other iPhone apps, those apps created by the Packager will work on the iPad, and Adobe says it will also add features to support the tablet’s increased screen size.

Flash content still won’t work in the iPad’s Safari web browser, but it sounded like Adobe was trying to put a happy face on a situation it can’t be satisfied with. The tone changed in a second post by Adobe’s Adrian Ludwig, which went up a few hours later. There’s a bit of throat-clearing, once again about how the iPad is really exciting, but then he gets to the absence of Flash:

It looks like Apple is continuing to impose restrictions on their devices that limit both content publishers and consumers. Unlike many other ebook readers using the ePub file format, consumers will not be able to access ePub content with Apple’s DRM technology on devices made by other manufacturers. And without Flash support, iPad users will not be able to access the full range of web content, including over 70% of games and 75% of video on the web.

If I want to use the iPad to connect to Disney, Hulu, Miniclip, Farmville, ESPN, Kongregate, or JibJab — not to mention the millions of other sites on the web — I’ll be out of luck.

Okay, Ludwig doesn’t exactly tell Apple to go to hell. But there’s a real confrontational tone, or at least one that’s openly frustrated. That contrasts with Adobe’s previous comments on the issue, which tend to be relatively diplomatic statements to the effect that the ball is in Apple’s court. For example, Adobe chief executive Shantanu Narayen said last fall, “I’d love to work with Apple to make it happen.” Now the tensions between the two companies, which were visible if you looked for them, have moved to the surface.

And for what it’s worth, I think Ludwig has some good points. I know there are plenty of complaints about how Flash taxes hardware, about how it leads to crashes, and about the fact that an important technology powering the web is controlled by a single company. But as a consumer, the fact that when I turn on the iPad browser I won’t be able to view most of the video on the web is a big drawback, especially for a device that’s supposed to provide “the best” movie-watching experiencing.

stephen fry says it all. Its hard to explain an ipad, just like how it was hard to explain the iphone, but it doesn’t diminish the pure perfection of it. It may not have battery that lasts weeks, or storage that’ll hold an infinity, but that’s not the point.

Now the joo-joo (fka crunchpad) internet tablet can roll over and die.

Signs of a fading “Old IT company”. Are your IT company keeping up with new and easy way to do things? or you still sticking with traditional stuffs? In the world of IT its “keep up” or “drop out” no such thing as merely existing

Today, Yahoo posted its fourth quarter results, marking the end of CEO Carol Bartz’s first year with the company. Yahoo reports revenues of $1.732 billion for Q4 2009, decreasing 4% from Q4 2008 but up 10% since last quarter. Year over year, search is down 15% and display ads down 1%. However, the company has seen a rise in each of these metrics between Q3 and Q4 2009.

google vs china? call me skeptical, but it seems unlikely that this is going to end well for google. well done, google, for playing the underdog role perfectly, in the one region you can pull it off in.
