Google.Sergey Brin on Android Platform

13 Nov

So far, we have Android SDK at Google Code page and already some integration Plug-ins for Eclipse. An interface is nice and simple.CrunchGear also some videos on the architecture structure of Androids’ internals. How soon will iPhone OS X be replaced by Android, and will it be better then Mac mobile solution?..*/me will wait*

 

Add remove problem in Win XP

08 Nov

Finally, I’ve got time to fix this bug.

After upgrading my Internet Explorer 6 up to the seventh version, Add/Remove window in Control Panel wasn’t loading. After a bit of googling the problem was solved:

1.win+r, load "regedit32"
2.Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
3.SOFTWARE -> Microsoft -> Windows -> Uninstall
4.Find "ie7" folder and in the right side menu look for for "Uninstall string" row
5.Follow the Uninstall string and extract .exe file which will handle uninstalling IE7.
6.Restart your PC.

After it, everything loads fine now. The only disadvantage – you’ve got your Internet Explorer 6 back :)

 

Web.Outdated arguments

02 Nov

However, every time I surf through various popular sources, IT portals, and so forth, around 30% of the posts are just trolling on some outdated topics:

  • What’s the best Operating System?
  • What’s cooler: Windows/Mac vs. Linux?
  • China/Russia is an evil country: discussions about firewalls, rockets, nukes, and oil/democracy conflicts
  • Opera Browser is rubbish or why do you like Firefox so much? What about IE7?
  • Microsoft vs. Open-Source: they buy, we sell. Who’s true open-source and who’s not?!

So far, that’s what came to my mind. If you got other trolling topics to add, be my guest!
