Preferenze di Sistema, come creare dei collegamenti ai suoi contenuti

Vediamo come rendere possibile creare dei collegamenti (alias) a tutti gli elementi contenuti nel pannello "Preferenze di Sistema".
Per poter ottenere questo risultato ci serviremo del Terminale e del comando In-s.
Ora facciamo finta di voler creare il collegamento sulla Scrivania dell'elemento Bluetooth.
Apriamo il Terminale e incolliamo questa stringa:

ln -s /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Bluetooth.prefPane ~/Desktop

otterremo questo risultato:

in pratica abbiamo creato un alias sulla Scrivania all'elemento Bluetooth delle Preferenze di Sistema e come tale lo potremo anche spostare in un altra posizione.
L'operazione effettuata, come detto, è applicabile a tutti gli elementi delle Preferenze di Sistema e presenti nella cartella /System/Library/PreferencePanes/, cambiando solo il nome nella stringa con quello di cui vogliamo creare il collegamento.

ln -s /System/Library/PreferencePanes/nome applicazione ~/Desktop

Questa è una lista dei nomi degli elementi da utilizzare nella stringa:

Safari, piccolo trick per i pannelli e le finestre

Safari è sicuramente, insieme a Firefox, il miglior browser per la navigazione in internet e permettendo la navigazione per pannelli o schede, consente di non intasare la scrivania del Mac con decine di finestre del browser aperte.
Esiste un piccolo trick, che ho scoperto involontariamente, per rendere la navigazione con Safari e Firefox ancora più completa e comoda, soprattutto a chi come me fa largo uso dei pannelli.
In che cosa consiste.

Niente di eccezionale, ma è comodo sapere che, semplicemente trascinando un pannello all'esterno del browser, questo verrà automaticamente visualizzato in una nuova finestra.
Mentre per inserire una finestra separata, tra i pannelli del browser, magari per liberare spazio sulla scrivania del Mac, basta trascinare il suo URL nella "barra dei pannelli" del browser stesso.
Tutto qua.

NOKIA 6303i classic

GAMBAR|FITUR NOKIA 6303i classic

NOKIA 6303i classic REVIEW

Nokia today announced the Nokia 6303i classic, a sophisticated and compact device that follows in the footprints of the Nokia 6303 classic and builds on the proven formula that made Nokia the world leader in mobile phones. The device is great value for money with its amazing feature list and an estimated retail price of EUR 105, before taxes and subsidies.

The 6303i classic now comes stomaching enhanced battery talents, enabling you to make up to 8 hours of calls. It’s also capable of letting you listen to around 30 hours of music via its built-in music player and FM radio, and will sit tight for over three weeks on standby.

Extending its rack of communication tools, the 6303i supports instant messaging for enhanced social savviness. It also features a 3.2-megapixel camera with dual LED flash, geared up for easily sharing your sharp snaps online.

We touched on the topic of refinement a few weeks ago and it’s place in mobile innovation and development cycle, and the 6303i classic is certainly another example of this to sit alongside the likes of the similarly honed E72. What do you think?

The 6303i classic begins shipping in selected territories this quarter.

The 6303i uses the S40 6th edition user interface. The interface is simple and intuitive. There is not much change in the UI over its predecessor 6303. The home screen has got slight make over, which features usual status reading like signal & battery status, caller ID. When the keypad is locked, if you press end key, it shows time and date. The menu system also got some renovation. The new mode displays a single icon at a time. The interface is boring as the icons lack the animations. Since it lacks multitasking, you can’t minimize java apps like Opera browser and do other tasks.

The Nokia 6303i Classic offers connectivity in the form of GPRS and EDGE, both of which are class 32. Micro-USB and blue tooth are also included as standard and offer additional connectivity options. The handset comes with an internal memory capacity of 55 MB, with a 2 GB card included in most packages, whilst for further memory capacity the existing microSD card slot and relevant cards can be used to increase capacity up to 16 GB.

The handset offers an impressive 2.2 inch TFT display screen which offers impressive levels of colour variance by virtue of its 16 million colour options. The handset offers the alternative of either ring or vibration alerts as well as the ability to utilise existing MP3 files as ringtones. The phone also comes with a speakerphone which provides effective hands free communication in addition to a 3.5 mm audio jack which offers the option of personal listening, should this be desired or required.

The Classic Nokia 6303i is an impressive handset, styled in a popular style with a range of functionality that makes it a viable option for many.

Spring Break + My Mama = Hiking!

I've been totally MIA from all things internet and blog related during my mama's visit, but that's A-OK cause we had so much fun! We probably walked 20 miles while she was here, most of which occurred in gorgeous locations . . . here's the rundown:

Friday night: Picked her up from the airport and went to Burma Superstar (yum!). During the wait, we ran to Marc 49 and had a glass of wine (i.e. she had a 3 wine flight and I had San Pellegrino). We ate samosa soup and rainbow salad and greens and it was delicious!

Saturday: Woke up and went to the Berkeley farmers market, had some coffee, hiked at the Lafayette Reservoir, bought some books, came home and cooked some ridiculously good fresh hand-made pasta (Meyer Lemon and Chili linguini) from the farmers market with swiss chard, broccoli, red pepper, garlic, and onion (whoa), and then entertained several of my fabulous friends.

Sunday: Made a quick pit stop at Bakesale Betty's for some scones/cookies/banana bread and headed up to Casa de Milo & Family (where Jeannette & Freeman met us) so my mama could meet the babies I love so much (and their parents!). JJ (Milo's dad) made us a wonderful breakfast, which we ate on their back patio overlooking a lake and Mount Tamalpais, and my little baby friends were as cute as ever. I love how Freeman says "Miloooooo." After brunch, we went to Muir Woods and did a rigorous, beautiful redwood hike, stopped at Mollie Stone's to pick up some veggies for dinner, and then came home and ate while watching the Sex and the City movie. A pretty dang perfect day.

Monday: Woke up early and met Gaela at Land's End, hiked down to Sutro Baths/Cliff House and back, then had lunch at Calzone's in North Beach (where Cathy's brother hooked us up with all kinds of scrumptious food from the kitchen). I had a swiss chard calzone, which in combination with the pasta from Saturday and Sunday nights, meant that I probably ate 3 heads full of chard over the weekend. After lunch, Mama and I went to the Marina and walked allllllll over, peeking in stores and enjoying what turned out to be a lovely, sunny, breezy day. Around 4:30 pm we drove to Golden Gate Park and walked to (and around) Stow Lake, which is always beautiful, and then were thoroughly exhausted when we got back to the car around 6. We stopped and picked up some burritos (to complete the Northern California experience) and headed home.

Today I drove her by Balboa on the way to the airport, which rounded out the trip . . . I'm sad to see her go, but it was such a fun time!

Here are some pics:

And now back to my normal, superbusy schedule.

Can Cell Phone Radiation Stop Alzheimer's Disease?

We usually see electronic gadgets such as mobile phone as gadgets that come with dangerous side effects. I posted about the dangers of radiation from cell phones for seniors. Many people also believe that cell phone use can cause major diseases such as brain cancer. However, a recent study shows that mobile phone radiation may be the key to stopping an illness that plagues seniors.

A study led by Gary Arendash of the University of South Florida in Tampa shows that cell phone radiation can prevent Alzheimer's disease.

Mice that were genetically altered to develop the rodent equivalent of Alzheimer's disease were exposed to the cell phone radiation. The results show that the mice exposed to radiation did better on tasks requiring memory than those not exposed. Amazingly, an impaired old mice regained memory after the treatment.

Apparently, the radiation broke up plaques of beta amyloid protein in the mice's brain cells. These plaques, which are found in the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease, cause the brain cells to degenerate and produces memory loss and other symptoms.

Obviously, this study has significance with seniors. Alzheimer's disease is generally diagnosed in people over 65 years of age.

Hopefully, this study can lead to a medical device that replicates the cell phone radiation's benefits for humans.

It's interesting to know that cell phones for senior citizens have other useful benefits other than connecting the elderly with family and friends.

That's it for this interesting bit of mobile phones for seniors news. Tune in to this blog for more senior friendly phones, news and updates.

Svuotare velocemente il cestino

Questa è semplicemente una scorciatoia da tastiera per velocizzare lo svuotamento del cestino.

In pratica, dal Finder, basta premere cmd+shift+delete (il tasto che si trova sopra "invio").

Frequência 450 e a Moeda de Troca Eleitoral

Confesso que 2010 estava sem graça até agora para mim, pois não está mais.

Acabo de fazer um achado no Idg Now, em uma excelente reportagem de Fabiana Monte sobre o Plano Nacional da Banda Larga

Reproduzo e em seguida comento, dois trechos da reportagem

...diz o presidente da consultoria Teleco, Eduardo Tude.

Segundo ele, o principal enrosco ligado ao plano nacional de banda larga - e que tem impedido sua criação - é a falta de consenso de diversos representantes do próprio governo. De um lado, está a proposta do Ministério do Planejamento (que prevê a recriação da Telebrás), do outro, a do Ministério das Comunicações (que defende a participação das operadoras). "O problema é se chegar a um consenso. Se o governo quer criar uma estatal da banda larga, por que recriar a Telebrás, que tem passivo trabalhista, especulação em bolsa?", questiona Tude. "Fica difícil para Lula decidir sem ter consenso", completa.

Eduardo Tude não foi ao ponto, porem eu vou.

Evidentemente que fica difícil recriar uma estatal em ano eleitoral com a candidata oficial do governo não decolando, principalmente se há um grande escândalo envolvendo as ações da Telebrás, algo que será lembrando pela oposição caso o governo tente colocar a idéia em prática.
um mês depois da revelação do escândalo das ações da Telebrás, as ações despencaram 44% como apontado pela Folha de São Paulo na reportagem de Marcio Aith e Julio Wiziack (Somente para assinante aqui).

Evidentemente que essa não é a cereja do bolo... Ao segundo trecho, com o final em negrito por mim.

Outro especialista, que preferiu manter o anonimato, diz que as propostas divergentes estão caminhando, com, inclusive, solicitações de estudos, junto à Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel), sobre a destinação da radiofrequência de 450MHz ao plano de banda larga. "Não sei se vão chegar a anunciar um plano detalhado, mas em algum momento vão anunciar a intenção do plano. Isso é sexy, vira moeda de troca eleitoral", afirma.

Confesso que o número 450 me recorda a data de 7/12/2009 quando fiz o post CDMA a 450 Mhz? Não! Obrigado.

No mais tenho que agradecer a excelente reportagem de Fabiana Monte pelo serviço de utilidade publica que ela realizou em dar mais uma razão para que eu diga não ao CDMA.

Despedida de Claus do Mundo GSM

Com muito pesar, venho anunciar o afastamento do meu grande companheiro Claus do mundo da telefonia celular.

Ele deixou a sua despedida nesse post.

Quanto ao futuro do GSM E CIA? Ele ainda vai receber os meus artigos que publico também no Allgsm, e se necessário ainda será utilizado para denunciar bobagens do mundo GSM caso seja necessário (espero que não).

App updates: gPodder 2.4 and MaePad 1.5

This week, it's once again time to update two of the more prominent apps in my collection: gPodder 2.4 "The Pants Alternative" for both Diablo and Fremantle and MaePad 1.5 "Productive" for Fremantle.

With the installation of PR1.2 on the autobuilder, MaePad can once again be built on it, so I've resumed uploading of MaePad releases to Maemo.org.

So, what's in it for you? Let's start with gPodder:

• Progress bar for loading episodes (and optimized episode list loading)
• "All episodes" view is not grouped per-podcast anymore (all episodes are now sorted descending by date)
• Faster download resuming on application start (with progress dialog)
• Automatic clean-up of finished downloads
• Simplified layout of progress indicator dialogs (e.g. deleting episodes, unsubscribing from podcasts)

And now for your favourite productivity tool, the MaePad:

• "w" in the checklist/sketch view now saves the database
• Fullscreen mode of checklists uses portrait mode (for shopping use, etc..)
• Node type displayed in overview (there's a themeing issue here with the highlights and the secondary text color.. suggestions welcome)

Now it's your turn: Please test the new packages and then vote for the packages here: MaePad QA page and gPodder QA page. Any bugs that you will find should be reported here: new bug against gPodder and MæPad t.m.o thread.

The PR1.2 SDK on the autobuilder adds a dependency on a newer Hildon version that cannot be fulfilled in earlier firmware versions, so I'll build a package compatible with pre-PR1.2 firmware soon and publish the package on the MaePad homepage for manual installation during this transition period until PR1.2 becomes available for end users.

Mac OS X, far funzionare a dovere il tasto + delle finestre

Nel Mac in ogni finestra in alto a sinistra sono presenti i tre classici tasti x  -  + a cui sono assegnate le funzioni di chiusura, riduzione a icona, ingrandimento e rimpicciolimento.


Mentre le prime due funzionano come dovrebbero, la terza, stranamente, fa un po quello che gli pare e non si capisce con che criterio funzioni.
A risolvere il problema e quindi far funzionare il tasto + come ci si aspetterebbe, esiste un software freeware, RightZoom.


Una volta trascinato il programma nella cartella Applicazioni lanciamolo e da questo momento in poi il tasto + effettuerà l'ingrandimento a schermo pieno e il rimpicciolimento parziale delle finestre, proprio come ci si aspetterebbe che facesse...finalmente!

Per accedere alle opzioni del programma basta fare doppio clic sulla sua icona tenendo premuto il tasto cmd.

Nel menù opzioni spuntiamo "Activate RightZoom" e nel tab "Applications" consiglio di spuntare la seconda voce in cui decidiamo noi quali programmi non dovranno usufruire delle correzioni di RightZoom.

Il programma inoltre dovrebbe avviarsi da solo ad ogni login, ma se così non fosse apriamo Preferenze di Sistema>Account e trasciniamolo nella finestra "Element login".

Se volessimo chiuderlo per un qualunque motivo, senza entrare nelle sue preferenze, possiamo velocemente farlo da "Terminale" digitando:

Next stop, Glasgow!

Elite models Samara, Sylvie and Eden showing off some Spring warehouse looks!

Mac OS X, lista dei comandi utili all'avvio

Durante l'avvio un Mac mostra semplicemente una mela con la classica rotellina di progressione su schermata grigia, ma durante questa fase e dopo il suono di avvio, esistono tutta una serie di comandi che si possono impartire.

Questa è una lista con i più utili.

• eject   forzare l'espulsione di un disco bloccato nel drive
• alt   scegliere il sistema operativo da avviare anche su HD esterni
• C   effettuare il boot da CD
• T   attiva il Target Mode, trasforma il Mac in un disco Firewire
• N   tenta avvio dalla rete
• shift   Safe Boot, disattiva le estensioni del kernel ed elementi avviati al login
• 6+4   in Snow Leopard effettua un avvio a 64 bit
• cmd+V   Verbose Mode, mostra le operazioni effettuate dalla console all'avvio
• cmd+alt+p+r   Reset della PRAM (aspettare il secondo suono di avvio)
• cmd+s   Single user, a line di comando

Clipboard, come controllare cosa si è copiato prima di "incollare"

Durante il normale utilizzo del Mac capita spesso di effettuare svariati "copia/incolla" e quindi potremmo facilmente trovarci nella situazione di dimenticare il contenuto dell'ultima "copia" effetuata.

Una preview degli "Appunti" sarebbe, in questo caso, molto utile prima di incollare il file.

Ovviamente OS X offre anche questa funzione, poco conosciuta ma utilissima per dei controlli veloci nella clipboard.

Come fare.

Dal Finder seguiamo il percorso

Composizione>Mostra gli appunti

Si aprirà così una finestra in cui ci verrà mostrata una preview della nostra "copia" e in basso a sinistra anche il tipo di file.

Portachiavi, come recuperare facilmente le password dimenticate

Portachiavi  è un software del Mac che si occupa di memorizzare tutte le nostre password di login e di sistema.
Detto questo è evidente la sua utilità.
Ora facciamo finta di aver dimenticato la password del nostro account Gmail, come la recuperiamo?

Apriamo Portachiavi da: /Applicazioni/Utility/Accesso Portachiavi.
Facciamo doppio clic sulla voce Gmail, apparirà una nuova finestra.

Mettiamo un segno di spunta alla voce "Mostra password".
Ci verrà richiesto di autenticarci (basta mettere la password di Login del Mac).

Clicchiamo su "Consenti" e la nostra password ci verrà così rivelata accanto alla voce "Mostra password" della finestra precedente.

Safari, come tradurre una pagina web con un semplice clic

Mentre navighiamo nel Web prima o poi incappiamo sicuramente in qualche sito straniero, inglese, francese, tedesco o altro in cui, "casualmente", è contenuta l'informazione o la notizia che stavamo tanto cercando e che quindi una bella traduzione istantanea sarebbe come "manna dal cielo", senza dover ogni volta aprire in un altro pannello GoogleTranslate, incollarci l'URL del sito e aspettare la traduzione e così via se i siti stranieri che ci interessano sono più di uno, un vero spaccamento...
A questo proposito ci viene in aiuto un piccolo script.

javascript:location.href='http://translate.google.it/translate?u='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&sl=auto&tl=it&hl=&ie=UTF-8';

Basta solo selezionarlo e trascinarlo nella "barra dei preferiti", dargli un nome, magari "Traduci" e il gioco è fatto.
Adesso, in pratica, quando vogliamo tradurre un sito nella lingua nostrana, facciamo clic sul nuovo pulsante e questo verrà tradotto immediatamente, sempre tramite il servizio di "GoogleTranslate".
Da installare al volo!

NOKIA 2330 Classic

GAMBAR DAN FITUR Nokia 2330 Classic

Nokia 2330 Classic REVIEW
The Nokia 2330 Classic is an entry level Nokia phone with a classic design. With smooth rounded edges and a stylish flat keypad, the 2330 Classic features a VGA digital camera which can also capture video. Share your photos with friends using the 2330's built in Bluetooth or MMS and Email capabilities. The Nokia 2330 also features a built in FM radio so you can tune in to the latest hits and supports MP3 ringtones so you can choose your favourite track and set it as your ringtone.Presented to us in two colour choices, the Nokia 2330 classic will be available in black with the silver keypad trim, as pictured, or Deep Red. Weighing in at a polite 90 grams and with dimensions of 13.8mm x 46mm x 107mm, this handset fits neatly into most pockets. Offering a 1.8” TFT display with 65k colours and 160 x 128 pixels, the integrated VGA digital camera can be used with ease to create images and videos. These can be stored easily in the 32 Mbytes of memory. For those who like to listen to their favourite FM radio station whenever they can, the dedicated FM Radio key allows easy listening supported by the internal antenna. Once fully charged a talk time of 4.8 hrs and standby time of 540 hrs can be expected. Also offering all the usual suspects of SMS and MMS, Bluetooth® technology and a built in web browser, the user will be able to use the Nokia Xpress audio messaging service to share audio messages with compatible contacts. The Hands Free and Conference call features, audio recording and a good selection of ring tone formats also help to round off this elegant edition to the Nokia Classics range.

In summary, the Nokia 2330 Classic is an elegantly crafted handset which delivers all the minimum aspects we have come to expect in our mobile phones with the quality we have come to expect from Nokia. It is a lovely little phone, ideal for all ages, particularly those who don’t want to be blinded by science but want up to date basic applications. Calling, texting, gaming, web browsing, taking pictures, making videos and listening to music, all from a classy little handset

iPhoto, velocizzare l'apertura riparando i permessi

iPhoto, è sicuramente uno dei programmi più utilizzati (e maltrattati insieme ad iTunes) sul Mac e dopo che gli abbiamo dato in pasto un bel po di immagini da gestire, potrebbe anche fare dei capricci.
Apertura lenta (anche se con migliaia di foto potrebbe essere normale), miniature non corrispondenti alle immagini che abbiamo modificato, eventi scomparsi, insomma segni che qualcosa non va.
Una possibile soluzione è quella di effettuare una bella manutenzione mirata.
Come fare.

Clicchiamo sull'icona del programma e subito dopo premiamo cmd+alt, apparirà un menù nascosto che ci permetterà di effettuare le dovute operazioni.

Normalmente per risolvere la maggior parte dei problemi basterà effettuare le operazioni selezionate come in figura. Ovviamente più immagini ci sono più tempo ci vorrà.

5th Period Today in 3 Parts:

1.

I walk into class to see two students throwing a condom back and forth at each other. Said condom is not in its wrapper.

2.

As I'm reading the journal question aloud:

MP: "Ms. Kiefer, can I step outside? I need to fart."

me: "Seriously? Fine, hurry up. It takes about 2 seconds."

GM: "I need to too."

ZT: "Me too."

me: (wtf?)

3.

A conversation:

me: "Listen up, I have an update about our fundraising project . . . see, San Francisco Unified School District has a policy about nutrition, so we aren't going to be able to sell cupcakes to raise money. We got an email today about--"

MP: "Ms. Kiefer you go to the club?" (commences dancing in his seat)

me: "Ummm . . . so the SFUSD policy mandates that we only distribute healthy food. Obviously cupcakes don't qualify. So either we have to--"

MP: "Naw fo real you go to the club?"

me: " . . . I'd like to focus on our Children of Incarcerated Parents Bill of Rights event. We either need to have our bake sale outside of school, or we need to sell something really healthy."

GM: "How about we sell yogurt parfaits?"

me: "That's a great idea, G. And we could actually probably make a better profit from yogurt parfaits if we buy the supplies at Costco."

ZT: "Or we could could just get Larry from 33rd St. to steal them for us."

Uh, yeah. That's a fantastic idea.

But after I left the little monsters today, I got to come see two of my favorite little boys, and guess who's on my lap right now?

baby Judebug, 3 weeks old

And my mama comes tomorrow, yay!!

TextEdit, come selezionare porzioni di testo multiple

Questo è uno di quei trick che potremmo non usare mai oppure, una volta conosciuto, non poterne più fare a meno. Mi spiego meglio.


Quando vogliamo selezionare una porzione di testo da un documento, di solito ci clicchiamo su e scrolliamo fino alla parte che ci interessa. E fin qui niente di nuovo.
Ma se volessimo fare delle selezioni tipo questa?

Facile, basta premere alt+clic e fare la selezione.
Per farne altre consecutive premere cmd+clic.
Ora possiamo effettuare il classico cmd+c (copia) cmd+v (incolla) del testo selezionato.

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

GAMBAR DAN SPESIFIKASI Nokia 5630 XpressMusic

Nokia 5630 XpressMusic REVIEW
Nokia has first ensured that the new 5630 XpressMusic ticks the musical boxes. Comes with Music enabled in selected countries, it’s ready to soak up to 3,000 songs into its slender shell via a 4GB microSD memory card that comes in the box. Likewise, its tuneful talents extend to the ’say and play’ feature (first debuted on the 5320 XpressMusic last year), letting you speak the name of an artist of track to automatically play it. Plus, the Nokia 5630 comes loaded with a 3.5mm headphone connector, stereo Bluetooth, FM stereo and Internet radio to wrap up its music credentials. Now here comes the twist…

Alongside those core talents sit some unusual but welcome suspects on the features front. For starters it’s a full blown S60 device with fast HSDPA connectivity, meaning it’s primed to be loaded with apps and able to exploit many of the best Internet services out there, such as widgets (a la the 5800 and upcoming N97), Ovi Share and Nokia Messaging.

Similarly, it throws N-Gage gaming into the mix – only the second time Nokia’s premium gaming platform has been available on a non Nseries device (the 6210 just got there first). However, at just 12mm slim and weighing only 83g, this makes the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic the slimmest and lightest N-Gage gaming device to date.

Another smart addition is the home screen, which features a new Contacts Bar that has a definite widget feel to it – smartly animated, you can scroll through icons for up to 20 contacts and interact with them directly from the home screen.

The 5630 XpressMusic from Nokia comes with a complete N-Gage experience with an N-Gage shortcut on the homescreen. N-Gage offers an entire catalogue of mobile games from leading game publishers, a multiplayer game feature, and the ability to track progress, as well as add friends to play games against. In addition, the Nokia 5630 cell phone comes with a full focus 3.2 megapixel camera with flash function. Pictures or videos can be captured and shared via a favorite online community, such as Share on Ovi, Flickr, or Facebook.

Mac OS X, visualizzare il percorso di una cartella del Finder (2° metodo).

In questo Post abbiamo visto come visualizzare il percorso di una cartella nella finestra in alto del Finder utilizzando il Terminale.
Per ottenere un risultato analogo, ma visualizzato in basso alla finestra, possiamo anche fare così.

Apriamo il Finder e selezioniamo: Vista>Mostra la barra del percorso.

Fatto.

MaemoPad+ ported to Desktop Linux

Some weeks ago, a user of MaemoPad+ asked me if it was possible to port MaemoPad+ to the Desktop, so users of Tablet PCs can make use of it. Apart from that, this can also be useful for users of MaePad to copy their "memos.db" file from the N900 to their PC and edit the file (or just view the contents) on the big screen. The file format used by both MaemoPad+ and MaePad is the same, so users of the mobile versions can share their database files with the Desktop version (and vice versa), which by the way looks like this at the moment:

Most of the Maemo 4 libraries are readily available in Debian (hildon, libosso, hildon-icons, etc..), so the initial port has not been too difficult, even though proper Desktop integration obviously needs more work, and there are some ugly crashers still hidden inside the code ;)

I wonder if it's possible to also package Maemo 5 libraries (Hildon 2.2, etc..) for Debian and upload them to the Debian repositories - this should make it easier to port Maemo 5 applications to the Linux Desktop without having to re-write the whole UI layer. Another cool thing would be to have Hildon 2.2 for Diablo, which would allow us to "backport" Maemo 5 apps to Maemo 4 - again, without the work of having to re-write the UI.

Packages for Ubuntu are available from the MaemoPad+ PPA, and the source is available via Git. Please send backtraces of crashes or (even better!) patches against the "desktop" branch in the Git repo.

Guidez votre balle avec le jeu « Labyrinth Lite Edition » sur iPhone

Il y avait eu une époque où les jeux de poche sont venus sans écrans LCD et les batteries. Un de mes favoris personnels comme un gosse était celle où vous devez guider une balle d'un labyrinthe de bois sans qu'elle ne tombe vers le bas l'un des trous.
Labyrinth Lite Edition recrée ce défi fascinant sur votre iPhone et le prouve en fait d'être l'un des jeux les plus agréables sur la plate-forme. Comme dans l'original, l'objet de Labyrinthe est de faire rouler la balle dans le labyrinthe pour atteindre l'arrivée.

Il y a dix cours gratuits inclus dans Labyrinth Lite Edition, chacune offrant un défi unique. La grande chose sur le jeu, c'est qu'il est contrôlé par l'inclinaison de votre iPhone d'un côté à côte, ce qui en fait une alternative vraiment naturel sentiment à la vraie chose.

Snapfon Ez One Cell Phone for Seniors at CTIA

I have to say that I'm pleased to see cell phones for seniors being displayed at major wireless shows like CTIA. Emporia phones were showcased at MWC and Doro phones got some action at CES so I hope this trend will continue.

This the time the Snapfon Ez One cell phone for senior citizens was showcased at CTIA Wireless 2010 in Las Vegas. This handset looks very similar to the ZTE S302 and the iNO CP09. I guess it's the same model under different names. The device is being sold for $99.99.

Here's the video captured by the folks at Butterscotch.com:



The Ez One cell phone for seniors is an ideal device for senior users. Like other senior-friendly handsets, it has big and bright keypad buttons, large fonts, and a built-in SOS button.

This handset also has some interesting bonus features such as the LED flashlight, built-in digital FM tuner, and included Hi Fi headset.

I hope you enjoyed the video. I think it will tell you much moe about the Ez One than any text I cn add.

That's it for this post. Tune in to this blog for more information on services and cell phones for seniors.

I Guess I Have a Type

but most of us already knew that. I just can't help it, I love this guy:

Andrew Garcia from poptower.com

(For those of you not in the know, Andrew is one of this season's American Idol contestants). I love his sweet croon, his bad-ass-nice-guy swagger, and the fact that he cries when he's overcome with emotion. :) My friend Jason thinks he looks like a furby, which I guess is pretty true, but that just makes him all the more adorable. No one loved last night's rendition of Heard it Through the Grapevine, but I voted for him like a zillion times so he'll be cool, I'm sure. ;) Who is everyone else rooting for?

In other news, I'm getting geared up for my little mama's visit this weekend. Super psyched to pick her up from the airport on Friday, albeit a little bummed that I'll miss Balboa's "A Black and White Affair" dance. Nothing like bustin' up some teenage grinding with a flashlight and a menacing grimace . . .

What would y'all do with your mamas in San Francisco? So far we're planning on several beautiful hikes, some farmers market browsing, a couple dinners with friends (one of which will definitely be at Burma Superstar!), and a Sunday brunch with my little babyloves. What else, people?!

And now I'm off to finish writing my poem that's due at the Cobraz meeting this evening, even though it's a little excruciating to look at my computer screen thanks to my scratched cornea. Pray that I'm not going blind, folks!

Happy middle-of-the-week, and wish me luck with the hardest poem assignment I've received in years . . .
