A prestigious brand is giving us the farewell ...
This is the price you pay if you can not innovate.

OS trends

I found this interesting website for analyze the trend and the share of the most important operating systems:

http://marketshare.hitslink.com/operating-system-market-share.aspx?qprid=11&qpcustomb=0

in which Windows Vista and Xp  give way to Windows Seven.


There is the mobile OS chart too:

Motorola Milestone (Droid) Froyo, some little works to do

It's time to put something new on this old Motorola Milestone (Droid in the Usa).

So, what do?

First point, a new launcher, the Froyo's launcher is *blearhg*.
For me the best is Go Launcher Ex for some reasons:
- better app drawer
- creation of directories in the app drawer and in the desktops
- gestures (if you want)
- possibility to hide dock bar and status bar (notify bar)
- multiple desktops (like original android home launcher)
- multiple docks
- widgets scaling
- choosing the grid dimension on the desktops
- choosing how icons appear on the desktop (black label, alpha label, no label etc...)
- tons of other stuff

This launcher works great in this phone (that has low ram)

Second point, rooting phone.
With the "root" you can use your phone as a super user, with this utility you can choose to grant SU permission to an App (Titanium Backup, etc...).

This link is very clearly:

Third point (I'm in this point), trying the overclocking.
Poor battery! But, it's only for testing purpose.
This link is very helpful:

(There are many overclock utilities in the market)

PS: Use at your own risk, I do not take responsibility for your actions!

Next steps? A custom rom I suppose...

...and a list of the MUST HAVE apps...

Broken Sword, play it on your mobile phone

These great adventure-games finally on your smartphones!
I played them on my Playstation (the first) in the 1999/2002 (I have skipped the school for some days to play them).
Ops! I discovered that they were free few days ago... :_(

Ok, these are for iOS, but for Android?
Take a look there: http://myhtcdesire.com/tag/broken-sword

The iOS versions are remastered and optimized for a better mobile experience (big dialog baloons, etc), the ScummVm version is not (but you can survive to this).

PS:
if you have a Win Pc you can play the Broken Sword 2.5 game, search it in this blog, no, I link it:

Are you Rorscharch?

Are you a fan of Rorschach?
No, not this guy:

Hermann Rorschach looks like Brad Pitt

and no, not his test.
I'm talking about this Rorschach

Ok, you are a fan and the Halloween is coming (yeah, just 10 months), so... there is a website that sells his mask in 5 different versions with the motion blur of ink.
