ANDROID by Google

It's a bit frightening but google seems to be EVERYWHERE! Well, apart from every other project that you run accross - soon you'll meet ANDROID ! It's google's project for Mobile OS - something that will compete against Windows Mobile and iPhone OS. However, the 'plus' of Android is that is uses Linux and i bet soon enough they'll find an easy way to compile linux packages for android - so you'll be able to use software like ThunderBird, Firefox, Pidgin etc natively on any android platform (mobile). That's not a fact - it's a guess. I have already tried some ANDROID builds that run on WM6 devices thru emulation but still they are not stable. Dual booting between Android and WM6 would be a dream since several windows mobile applications are not ported to Android platform yet (for instance - GPS navigators). The first native android phone that came out , is G1 from HTC, but since LG , Motorola, Samsung are already members of Android , i expect soon a huge KABOOM of google's OS into mobile market. Sony & Ericsson are rumored to produce Android phones too. I guess Nokia will stick to it's Symbian OS (which was a masterpiece when i was using the Psion 5mx (SE MC218) but not that good nowdays.

MAC AIR clone from MSI - Slimmest PC Notebook

I was amazed by MSI - it's relative new to notebook business but it's impressive that they came up with a MAC air clone at half the price. The specifications of the system are quite impressive as it comes with all new technologies like Draft-N Networking, bluetooth, webcam, big HDD (320GB) and long battery life due to the ATOM processor. It's not a TURBO system when it comes to image processing (photoshop or similar programs) but you shouldn't notice and signifigant performance difference when using it in daily tasks (emails, word documents, web surfing, viewing dvd's etc). It's highly Recomended because of it's portability and looks :)

Evolving Technologies on Batteries

LI-ION is going to be obsolette soon as new battery technologies are rising. This new type batteries (carbon/air) will last 10 times longer than lithium technology batteries ! So, if that's true - i guess we will have laptops running 10 x 2 hours = 20 hours with a single charge :) That's great news
See for yourself by clicking the link below:

New carbon/air battery stores 10x more energy than li-ion

Η Μαλα*beep* πάει σύννεφο ! (ευρωεκλογές)

Έντελως έλεος ! Μόλις είδα στις ΕΙΔΗΣΕΙΣ οτι Υποψήφια ευρωβουλευτής (της Κύπρου) σκόνταψε και έσπασε τη μύτη της... και την πήγαν εσπευσμένα με ασθενοφόρο στο νοσοκομείο. Αμα την ψηφίσω να μου τρυπήσετε την μύτη ! Άκου, να τραβολογάει τα ασθενοφόρα για την μυτόγκα της ! Αμα θέλεις κυρία μου να βγεις στις ειδήσεις για να σε μάθει ο κόσμος επειδή κατέβαλες υποψηφιότητα για ευρωβουλευτής, να επινοήσεις άλλες μεθόδους απ'το να σπας τη μύτη σου και να φωνάζεις τα κανάλια ! ΕΛΕΟΣ ! ΕΙΣΑΙ ΓΙΑ ΓΕΛΙΑ !!!
Μπήκα στην ιστοσελίδα της για να της στείλω email "ελπίζω να'ναι εντάξει η μύτη σας" αλλα δεν το'χει καταχωρημένο. Κρίμα !

We're just seeing the beginning of a new era !

Hello there dear friends, this is my first post in my bloggo thingy and maybe i should post a few things about me but who cares about reading profiles ???
However, i am glad to report/shout that my favorite super-duper OS (operating system), that is Linux, reached and went over (officially) the 1% of global market share. That is translated to: One of 100 PCs surfing the internet (cause that's what they used to collect the data) is running Linux. That's good news and i am really happy to see that, since Linux is a free operating system, and in terms of usability, configurability, bility, iliti, and ttiliti, is much much better than the windowZzz... GO GO LINUX !
Also , note that microzoft's global market share went down to 87,9% (that's the lowest ever in their history!) Can u guess why ?
Anyway, the data is taken from : http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=8#
I just wonder how many out there know about Linux, what u know about it and if you are interested in giving it a shot :)
