Olous is harmful?

They always host the best DOTA games, sad for them to be distributing malware.

I loved MPlayer

It was my favorite social network, long before there was a myspace, it competed well with Battle net, but had lots of strong casual games.

I want it back, and on my Droid :)

Regular people want smart phones

Everyone wants a smartphone. Even Apple users.

No one wants what was a smartphone last year, 2 years ago, or even 6 months ago.

Everyone wants a new smartphone. It should do everything their current phone does... just as well.

Some want them bigger, some want them smaller. Some want keyboards, some want touchscreens, some want trackballs, some can not understand what purpose a trackball could possibly ever serve.

The form factor isn't important.



My favorite definition of smartphone is also the one I consider most rigourous. A smartphone is a little computer, and it's a phone.

I am glad that they update old blog posts, crossing out sections that are no longer relevant is very good practice. I like seeing what it used to say, because people repeat it, and seeing the line through it clearly shows that its no longer true.

Auspicious Moral Thought: 嘉仁念

auspicious moral thought: 嘉仁念

I figure now that I work at Sony I should know these things :)

Microsoft needs to try and "Embrace and Extinguish" Android.

Trying to stay backwards compatible is Windows Mobile failed.

Reducing backwards compatibility with Windows Mobile 7 would be a sign of taking a huge step towards raising the quality of the Windows Mobile platform.

The old platform was not good.

Microsoft should go out of it's way to help WinMo developers port their code to the new platform.




But what I want is for Microsoft to try and "Embrace and Extinguish" Android. There is no reason Microsoft couldn't build a phone that is "Windows Mobile 8" and also runs most Android apps. They already started putting good JVMs for J2ME on WinMo, and it helped keep the platform alive for a couple more years.


The biggest drawback to running your own Android distribution is you don't get the Google Apps. I don't think Microsoft would mind :-)

Some companies are their 3rd party ecoystem

For all the big players in technology it seems to one of their real assets is the 3rd party developer ecoystem they foster, and often depend upon.

Been thinking about the iPhone appstore, enjoying my Droid, and then I thought again about Palm and Flash.

Flash could really help save Palm, and I think the reason why is Flash has an army of 3rd party developers who have created simple flash apps, and content providers already proving their content through flash.


I've had the opportunity to talk with some people at Flash in the past, and I've watched their mobile efforts closely. It's still fascinating to watch.

I read a comment recently someone made that talked about how Nokia allows you to use all sorts of 3rd party verticals for application development. Their native symbian, or java, or flash, or silverlight, etc. The same is true of Windows Mobile.

It's not remotely true of the iPhone. It's not especially true of Android yet either. There are some phones that support flash in the browser, but the HTC is the only phone I'm aware ofthat supports such, and I believe that Flash is one of the reasons the Hero is stuck on the 1.5 Android firmware. That could be business reasons though, for all I know.

If I was a professional blogger I'd have a point here. Perhaps someone else can provide one as a comment? ^_^

SVN branching problems

I'm trying to take my recent work, which has been against trunk, using SVN, and check it in to a branch. I made a bit of a mess of it, and now I'm getting this error:

"
svn: Entry for FILENAME is marked as copied but is not itself scheduled
for addition. Perhaps youre committing a target that is
inside an unversioned (or not-yet-versioned) directory?
"

Google turned up too few hits, so I thought I'd post it.
