Heck, they had a holiday when he was elected, but they prefer to kill each other when they have their own elections…

Bergamot – FOSS Software for the Symbian OS

I’m a big fan of Symbian and UIQ3, so I was very happy when I found Bergamot.

In their words:

The Bergamot Project produces high quality free and open source software for the Symbian mobile phone platform used by Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Samsung.

Unfortunately:

As the Symbian environment is presently undergoing significant changes, we are shifting the project’s focus from the UIQ user interface towards S60, which will be the basis for the coming Symbian OS.

Still, I’ve been using Escarpod (a podcatcher) under UIQ3, and it works really well.

Transparência na AP

É uma excelente iniciativa da ANSOL, baseada no Base – Contractos Públicos Online. Esta ferramenta pode muito bem, e deve, ser o ponto de partida para investigações jornalísticas sobre os ajustes directos mais ou menos transparentes que se avizinham.

New Star Trek trailer

It’s not really fresh news, but there’s a new trailer for the next Strar Trek movie (guess what… it’s a prequel…). What I really liked was the the teleport efect. Check it out.

R.I.P. UIQ

It’s a sad day for UIQ

UIQ has announced that it’ll lay off their employees, as SonyEricsson and Motorola are no longer developing mobile phones based on that interface (UIQ3).

Basically, since Nokia bought Symbian, and they want to push their own version of the user interface (S60), UIQ didn’t have other choice. I do know that it had a much better product than S60, and you can see their prototypes here. I daily use a SE P990i with UIQ3, and I’ve compared it with my sister N80′s S60, and it’s much faster, easy to use, intuitive and pretty.

A manada

The herd

Passei há pouco pelo primeiro Starbucks em Portugal e havia esta fila à porta. Salvo haver net à pala, como é bom exemplo na Polónia (qualquer restaurante de esquina tinha wi-fi à borla), não sabia que a ânsia de beber água com cheiro a “café” era assim tão grande.
