It finally happened to me! I accidentally dropped my phone in water the other day and completely freaked out because as soon as the phone hit the water, it turned off and would not power back on – kudos to the manufacturer for that. It may have been what saved the phone. This is a very expensive phone and I was already bemoaning how I would have to shell out the money to replace it.
The internet, however, came to the rescue and I got a few pointers that I added to what I did to revive my phone.
Technology is improving at an amazing pace and it’s all we can do to keep up. So it angers me to no end when I encounter what I term “lazy development” in terms of content delivery. Let me explain.
The Symbian Foundation has announced the availability of its web application development toolkit for the open-source Symbian^3 mobile platform. The new platform allows programmers and web developers to augment their skills with the use of “just a few more JacaScript APIs” in order to access capabilities like contacts, camera, location etc. on a symbian powered handset.
According to a statement from the foundation, anyone who can create a web page can create an app for Symbian^3, as coders only need standard development tools including HTML, CSS and JavaScript.
So I received an email from a very perceptive user the other day. The request was to look into a suspicious e-mail that accused this user of copyright infringement:
“To whom it may concern,
It has come to our attention that you have made an unauthorized use of my copyrighted work in the preparation of a work derived therefrom. We have reserved all rights in the Work, which was first published in 2008, and we have registered the copyright.
For Joomla! users, I am sure it is a little frustrating sometimes when you write an article and try to reference it with simple URL-friendly titles only to be greeted by a 404 not found error.
Apple Computers (yes, that is what it originally was) recently announced a new iPhone-like mobile computing device called the iPad. Unless you live in the most remote of Islands, I’m sure that is all you’ve heard or read about in the past week.
