samsung galaxy s gets no Android 4.0 ICS update, as promised

NoICSforSGS

my brother who has a galaxy s2, got his ICS update from samsung’s own “kies” software.

with excitement I connected my galaxy s and got “this is the latest firmware” message, but I kind of read it like in picture.

here is the full one in case you didn’t already experience it:

so facebook buys instagram, deal with it

Courtesy of cbsnews.com

after the news of facebook splashing cash on instagram,
I realised that there were still romantic fanatics of software, applications and services…

that’s cute and that’s so 90s.

probably they either believe that the service or application belongs to them, or that they are a part of something bigger and greater.
and the problem with it is that neither of them is true.

Cast Away Review by Omer M. Mozaffar

Cast_Away_Tom_Hanks_Wilson

The argument here is that there is a greater hand of Fate, with an optimistic future for you in this life, while on the other hand your drive to seize control of your world will be frustrated. Rather, let go, and let the hand of Fate open its arms for you, in this life. But, when it does open its arms, then you will have to make choices.

A very nice review for a very nice movie…

how social media can harm unpopular kids even more

there is an interesting piece on teenvogue (don’t ask how i found it) and it has a rather interesting point of view on social media websites. if you are a loser, and somehow your class-mates friended you on facebook, you followed them on twitter and whatever else the kids are doing nowadays, now there is the technology to feel being left-out to the max.

things like the one below is probably seen pretty much:

jquery responsive web

what is it?

it is a simple jquery plugin helping design more responsive and adaptive websites and web applications with almost no setup.

what does it do?

it adds dynamic classes to the <body> depending on the operating system, browser and resolution.

why?

because for ideal responsive web design css is just not enough. it chokes at some point, or has cross-browser and cross-platform issues much more than the wonderful jquery framework.

and also mobile websites don’t have to be ugly, or boring with bulky iphone buttons and very trimmed content, a similar mobile version of the website can be done with this plugin easily. check out the New York Times Global Edition example in the zip or after the jump.

compatibility

I have tried it with microsoft internet explorer v7 and v8, firefox, google chrome, safari, opera on windows, and also with an android device. works perfectly on all of them. on the android device (samsung galaxy s) handles the orientation change nicely too.

concept:
twitter voting. that is the concept. as easy and fast as possible. no membership no settings, no mumbojumbo. login with twitter, ask a question. define two answers. send it to your friends, let them vote. so you can’t decide which dress to wear to prom, ask your friends on twitter. they tweet the link of the answer (with a strong point on their defense) and you decide. tagline is simple, “can’t decide? ask others!”

concept:
as I’ve mentioned here, my wife loves doing crafts. especially with crochet, knitting, beading she became quite the artist. she is kind of expressing her enthusiasm for crafts and her creativity by them. as we had more and more items stacking up at home we thought it would be logical to make them online for people to buy. (that and my wife forced me to do so)
