Handful of Nothing

I’m almost five days late, but there’s one update in this new Symbian version that must be noted here: Over The Air Firmare Updates.

Sweet. sweet!

It seems that some clever chinese developer has cracked Skype’s protocol and was able to make some voip calls between an oficial skype client and a custom made one.

Looks like we’re going to see some third party applications skype ready very soon. Who knows when a port for Maemo can appears, if the protocol info becomes available? =) via engadget

Good article from Symantec about this subject that is always a good start point for some security flame wars =).

When I saw this I realized why I can’t be a creative director: I would approve that. Nasty, gore! Should be on rotten.com LoL.
Copy says: “Seek revenge”. The Ad is for a seafood Restaurant called Goa Portuguesa.

Looks that the microsoft secret mp3 ipod Killer is going to be called “zune”. Everyone is talking about this new device by microsoft as the IPod Killer. Xbox integration, Wi-Fi, and for sure a good dose of M$ style bugs.

What I have in mind for the last couple of months: Microsoft biggest problem is that the company is trying to be everything possible in the tecnology field. They want to be the best game platform (at least not the best but the most popular), they want to be the best(or more visited) web search site, and now they want to make the best music player.

Shot first, aim later. This strategy of doing everything, and doing it on a regular, not outstanding manner, is what I think will make Microsoft becomes weaker in the long run.

Let’s wait and see this new revolucionary device. Just like the Origami was. Pretty revolutionary.

This is to announce the link to our games already running on the new Maemo 2.0 beta final software.
You can download .deb packages for x86, ARM and also the source.

Just follow the link :
www.marceloeduardo.com/maemo2.0/

the Sdl net files are available also, for those with product firmware.

Updated: link now is correct. Text was right, url wrong! tested in the product, all working

updated 2: packages for lib sdl net now works (it was missing some silly info on the package)

If you’re into office mobile (support for microsoft’s formats : .doc, .xls etc) don’t miss this nice review of Office Suite on All About Symbian website. click here

This is a great tool for form building. I tried the demo several times and the UI they developed is just great. So well polished that made me fell envy as I never felt before =)

For me, a Brazilian, the business model/pricing is kind of heavy but I really wish this guys a great success.

Try them out

Sad news, France has beaten the Portugal team by 1 x 0. I was really cheering for Scolari’s team.

Yeah, I’ve been expecting this for some time! Tekken for the PSP has gone gold and now we can enjoy those brutal, well done 3D fights on our PSPs. It’s an update to the Arcade version with 2 more fighters and some levels. hope to put my hands on this one soon!

Now waiting: for Def Jam fight for NY for the PSP. I just love the brutality in this game (played in the Xbox) and now is coming to the PSP. Hell yeah!
