Nokia seems to be pushing ahead with Symbian even though rumors abound of Nokia's move to switch the entire N-Series from Symbian to Maemo. Right now, there's new of Nokia skipping development of Symbian ^2 so that they can go ahead and proceed with Symbian ^3. And the good news is that we might be able to see Symbian ^3 this year, as Nokia is aiming to release v3 by the third quarter of 2010! According to Digitimes: The Symbian version 4 is believed to be based on the Qt cross-platform application development framework developed by Trolltech, which Nokia acquired in June 2008, said industry sources. The Qt ...

goggles_landmark If you need any more proof that Google Android is definitely going to step up to take the iPhone down, Google is coming out with Google Goggles. Okay, that product name kind of reminds me of a website that used to infect unsuspecting users with loads of malware, but trust me, Google Goggles is different. Way different. Google Goggles basically is mobile search taken to a different level. Instead of using words, use your Android phone's camera to take a picture, and Google Goggles will process and attempt to recognize the image, and will return relevant search results. Okay, since Google Goggles is still in its infancy, we're going to definitely run ...

I've made the move of dumping my iPod (at least temporarily until the iPod touch gets a 100+ gig iteration) and put my music on my Nokia E63. It's got a decent playlist maker, a great equalizer (better than the iPod's I must say), it even supports audioscrobbling (with Mobbler), and carrying around one device instead of two saves me a bit of space. One disadvantage to using the built-in S60 player is that it doesn't support gapless playback. This usually isn't a problem, but when I'm playing an album such as Brian Wilson's SMiLE, it can get pretty annoying. Thank goodness there's FolderPlay for the S60. folderplay_001 FolderPlay is an audio application ...

shazam-logo

I've made no secret of my lackluster feelings towards Nokia's Ovi Store, which is supposed to make it easy and pleasurable to find applications for Nokia cellphones like the new N97, but I do think the Shazam music discovery software is worth pushing, so I'll let this one through.

After all, Shazam is available on most other mobile devices, including the iPhone, BlackBerry and Android phones, so it's about time Nokia got some of the love.

Until 30th November, and purely on a first-come-first-served basis, Shazam will be free to download from the Ovi Store.

Laptop yells S.O.S.

Posted by Jim as Software
talklapjpg This is perhaps one of the sensible solutions out there to avoid laptop theft. Sure.. the usual laptop chain would at times suffice, but there are clever thieves who would bring industrial wire cutters to clip away. What is there to do then when you're yards or miles away from your precious machine? A company called "Front Door" has developed a "nuisance" application called "Retreiver" for laptop owners. It works by emitting an irritating alarm with phrases like "help I'm a stolen laptop" or "help I was stolen, bring me back to my owner". This occurs every 30 minutes, just enough time interval to prevent ...

I had always abhorred spreadsheet software; more so basic accounting. But it was not until I had started to live a life of my own did I realize that there is a reason why accounting is a cornerstone in the corporate world. Yet even though I needed to account for my budget, payments schedules, and all that dizzying “adult stuff.” I never, ever, ever could take to Microsoft Excel. Not even OpenOffice Calc could make me feel better about blank cells that would need for me to figure out how to make them tally up my entries.

  The best sync program for Windows Users. I’ve stumbled upon this blog post from CNet blogs, talks about a sync program called “SugarSync”.  Catchy name right?  Well after reading the blog, I feel that it is rightfully named.  For windows users who haven’t really had this easy tool, It does taste like sugar… stress free sugar… zero (!) as Coke and Pepsi would call them. Standard sync programs require both PCs to be turned on.  SugarSync has something like a “clearing house” that accepts data from the online PC.  Once the other PC goes online (even while the host is off-line), it gets the data from the “clearing house”  and syncs it from there.  Too cool ...

I had been doing a lot of twitter account setups because I wanted to have twitter accounts dedicated to the many blogs I’ve put up for AdSense monetization. So since when I was setting up my DummyGeekGurl twitter account, I had reached saturation point for tweaking the design, plus, I wanted the wallpaper background kick-butt in a big way, I decided to put off tweaking the design. That, and I was pretty sick over the past few days, only to find out that I may really have diabetes (type 2) now. But last night, I felt okay enough to make this kick-butt (in my own not-so-humble opinion) wallpaper for my DummyGeekGurl Twitter.

Hello guys, gals, and geeks. :D I had to take a vacation, or else I would really be loopy beyond repair by now. I’ve been noticing something buzzing in the air lately, and it’s not the Christmas anticipation. It’s something related to all things geeky. What’s that? Windows XP SP3? Yes, you heard right. Windows Vista was such a flop that Microsoft decided to develop the pet OS instead: Windows XP.

It’s dead, Jim.

And now, news of the CrunchPad’s demise has reached the blogosphere (twice-over, I must say), we’re here to examine the post-mortem. It was an ambitious project: an internet tablet meant to sell cheap. Everybody was waiting for it with bated breath, but it never came.

Sony reveals PlayStation Move

I have to admit, my mind is officially blown. Sony finally revealed its new PlayStation 3 motion controller at GDC 2010 in San Francisco, and boy is it looking good.

Dubbed the Playstation Move, the advanced motion controls on this baby makes it supposedly more accurate than that other motion controller from that little-known console from [...]
