Nintendo released a new console @ E3 named the Wii U. I looked @ the online video which was more about people acting up in a white room than games that looked fun. Iwata apparently said that they should have done a better job at presenting the console than they did. I think that they [...]

Bad news for RIM
Posted in Tech, tagged RIM Blackberry iPhone on 2010-11-20 | Leave a Comment »
http://www.intomobile.com/2010/11/19/iphone-satisfaction-survey-motorola-rim-blackberry/ This is definitely bad news for RIM and it is bad news for me since I’ve been betting on Blackberry making inroads into the smarphone market. Losing market share to iPhone is one thing but coming in the 5th place in a customer satisfaction survey is horrible. Even worse is the fact that Samsung [...]
Playbook Air Application cockups
Posted in dev, games, Hobbies, Tech on 2010-11-19 | 2 Comments »
Well hello world. That’s all I was trying for a moment. It ended up being quite a long process. I got interested in the Blackberry Playbook apps around 2 weeks ago and since then I’ve had one headache after the other. Fear not since my definition of an expert is someone who’s committed all the [...]
Optimisations on 5800

I updated my Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and lo behold the whole thing is slow as a snail now. What’s worse? Their own DRMed (Digital Restrictions Management) concked off and won’t allow me to play the songs preloaded in the phone. That did not bother me anyway because they had a terrible set of songs [...]

Java and Yahoo
Posted in rants, Tech on 2008-07-14 | Leave a Comment »
I tried to upgrade the Java VM because it insisted on doing so (red icon in my tool bar). I noticed that the VM wanted to install Yahoo! toolbar. Why on Earth would a language/VM want to install a toolbar? Since when did languages start doing advertising? What’s next? Sun will release an ad-supported Java [...]

childhood – fun adult life – no fun technology/gaming in nascent stages - fun technology/gaming when it is “mature” – it is business. avoid risks, keep the revenue stream … blah blah Will everything that WAS fun become business and eventually lose the fun factor?

Internet Explorer is Jailbait. Why? It’s barely legal.
Of DRM and my favourite company. Mass Defect in Mass Effect.

http://www.shacknews.com/onearticle.x/52618 I love Bioware don’t get me wrong. I’d work for them if given a chance. Inspite of that, I am taking a chance and writing this article. I don’t spend a lot of time on companies that I don’t care about. So it should tell Bioware how much I respect them and how much [...]

Specs: Compaq V2000 AMD Turion ML-32 1.8GHz 768MB RAM, ATi 200M, 100GB HDD, glossy screen (14″ wxga widescreen). I like the screen a lot. I got rid of the windows xp that was pre installed on it and installed Ubuntu 8.04 … sweetest thing of all – named my laptop “Deathnote” Still to do: get [...]
