In other words: they expect Flash to ship with 53 pct of the predicted 300 million smartphones shipped in 2012.
300 Million smartphones, most of those in the hands of a young, tech savvy demographic with money to spend online.
Now let’s see, would I want to target 50% of them with a Flash site or 100% of them with an HTML-based site? Tough choice.

The guys at iFixyouri managed to break the screen on the new iPhone after dropping it from 3.5 feet.
Two questions arise:
- Where’d they get an iPhone to test on?
- Shouldn’t the gyro stabilize the phone in mid air?

In reaction to Matthaus Krzykowski’s article Yesterday, Google shrank the feature phone market with Android 2.2
Matthäus, you do realize that
a) 450% speed increase is in computational heavy code only? GUI calls and image compositing was native before, it won’t be accelerated
b) the only thing that is being accelerated is the Dalvik Java VM. Dalvik runs interpreted Java Code as opposed to modern Just-in-time compilers. “Modern” is relative of course JIT for Java has been around since 1997.
c) the old Dalvik VM was horribly slow. It has been measured to be as much as 100x slower than native C Code.

Also, the lack of speed isn’t what makes a feature phone cheaper. It’s the whole package, especially the screen.

Da sage noch jemand, mobiles Internet sei eine Spielerei. Ohne iPhone hätte ich nie erfahren, dass dieser Pilz ein Gesäter Tintling (Coprinus disseminatus) ist.

Anscheinend hat ein Update für Kaspersky Anti-Virus 6.0 for Windows Workstations / Servers am 22. August einen Fehler hervorgerufen, auf mehreren Rechnern konnte ich diese Fehlermeldung beobachten:
Die Anweisung “ox78144dcc” verweist auf Speicher “0×00000007″. Der Vorgang “written” konnte nicht auf dem Speicher durchgeführt werden.

Kasperksy stellt inzwischen ein Supportdokument zur Fehlerbehebung zur Verfügung. Ein Einspielen des Patches per Administration Kit von Open Space Security hat problemlos funktioniert.

CakePHP convention requires tablenames to be plural, for example “customers”, “orders”, etc. But what about a model called “Category”. I thought I’d be clever and call the table “categorys”. But CakePHP is more clever than that, it ecpects the table to be called “categories”:

Unter Mac OS X 10.4 “Tiger” konnte man auf deutschen Tastaturen mit “Apfel-<” zwischen den einzelnen Fenstern eines Programmes umschalten. Laut Apple (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75459) ist das korrekte Tastaturküzel hierfür allerdings:
Command-` : Cycle through windows in application or Finder (if more than one window is open)
Unter 10.5 Leopard ist die Funktion auf deutschen Tastaturen verlorengegangen, Wechsel zwischen Fenstern ist aber über Apfel-Shift-´ weiterhin möglich.Ich schätze mal, daß vergessen wurde, das Tastenkürzel für andere Sprachen zu “übersetzen”. Mal sehen, wann Apple ein Update nachlegt.
