Opera going tiny

This is just so incredibly cool. Opera has released a browser that will run on almost any J2ME (Java micro) cell phone with data connectivity. (Sony Ericsson, Motorola, Nokia and others have support for J2ME and GPRS). Norwegian blogger and Opera employee Arve Bersvendesen writes in his blog: Opera Mini Opera Mini is based on two components. First, there is the client component, which is a J2ME application users can download and install on their phones. Secondly, and more importantly, there is the server component. When accessing the web with […]

The Optimus visual OLED keyboard

Its on my wanted list: Optimus keyboard Every key of the Optimus keyboard is a stand-alone display showing exactly what it is controlling at this very moment. Talk about user friendly (not to mention flashy) keyboard. It is actually customizable to the application its used for. Unfortunately its just a design study right now – but the idea is so good and the technology should be there to start producing this. The only question in how soon it will come to market and how much it will cost. Me? I

Todays blog-to-visit: Overshadowed

If you, like me, like good photography, then you shouldn’t overlook overshadowed Overshadowed is the photoblog of Keith Kin Yan. Many of his recent photo entries in his blog are photos shot with Hasselblad and Yashica medium format cameras. There are also pictures taken by his Nikon D2H digital camera. (OK, I officially have equipment envy). The pictures are both from New York City and Hong Kong and showcase some incredible skills on lighting and framework. Especially the medium format pictures are breathtaking. Well worth a look for anyone interested

Making the most of Google Desktop search

I was a little slow to really pick up how cool Google Desktop Search actually is. Even with it installed I really didn’t get to utilize it 100%. Among the things I couldn’t get it to do, was search through content on network shares. And it seemed that the only way to accomplish Googeling those would be to run an instance of Google Desktop Search on the file server. In my case that is impossible, since Google Desktop Search is only available for Windows and the file server in question

CherryOS, Open Source Software and theft

Or how I came to read about Maui X-Stream and their software (CherryOS and VX30), that it appears is more or less based on every open source software out there. This story by Drunkenblog sets a standard for investigative journalism – one that not many of the regular media institutions can live up to – unfortunately. Deconstructing Maui X-Stream. Please be aware that its probably one of the longest blog postings around.

Shocking news: Apple involved in theft of copyrighted material

I would have thought a software and IP-house such as Apple would keep its path clean and make sure not to infringe other peoples copyright or downright steal other peoples creations. Not so it seems. Apple and copyright violations – Virtuelvis The page in question that had made it on to the Apple web site, was a chopped-off version of the rounded corners tutorial, incorporated into the WebCore layout tests for generated content, most likely since earlier versions of Safari exhibited some very funky rendering (screenshot). The short story: Code,

The ‘creator of blogs’ lets out some steam

Probably not the right thing to do, but I just can’t help myself. I think this says a lot about why so many people end up arguing and having problems with Dave Winer: Scripting News: 2/27/2005 A little story. I was at a meeting with potential investors when the Fortune article hit, with all the bloggers on the cover. We had just said I was one of the leaders of the blogging revolution, and one of the investors pulled out the magazine, as if to ask why my name and
