Notificationsss

Some comments from a tech-blog:

 
I use both iOS and Android and I really don’t think the notifications experience is better on iOS than on Android..

    
Apple’s implementation is not as good as Android’s. Tell me one thing it does better than Android’s. One.

 
You won’t find one (against ICS).

Dat answer:

   
The ability to view notification center within a full screen app.

And I agree. Can't be that Android-ICS developers have not thought about that and iOS 5 was shipped with a better "Notifications"  feature.

So...

Time for a new OS war!

Apple shows the first screens of its new OS called "Mountain Lion" (feline names are finished :P ) and Microsoft will releases soon (29 February) the Consumer Preview (Beta) of Windows 8.

Improvements, new features and so much on.

It gets interesting.

Enjoy your BSOD

BSOD is the blue screen of death that comes when something goes wrong in  your Windows OS.
This screen is the nightmare for many of us, specially in the 9X version when Bsod reaches its glory (lol).
With NT systems bsod is an old memory, but sometimes comes in the recent Windows versions.


If you are nostalgic about bsod or you want to play some jokes or simply you want a cool screen saver:

BlueScreen (read the article!)

Download the .src file (from Microsoft, is secure) and use it like screen saver (follow website instructions).
If you double-click it a beautiful bsod appears! Awesome.

Don't forget, is fake or you might be scared seriously!

Return to Castle Wolfenstein

After a decade I returned to Castle Wolfenstein with my pc.
In these last days I completed this awesome game... and I built a massive  mosaic with screenshots from the many levels of this game.

Enjoy it.

Next mission? Enemy Territory.

Scale of the Universe #2

Uoooooo!
Another scale of the Universe!  I love that animation.
Yes, in the picture above they compared the maximum map size of Minecraft to the Earth, Neptune etc...  :-)

Windows 8 and Build blog

I'm really appreciating that Microsoft will finally provide some listening to users to improve their operating system.
After all the user's contribution is very important.

And... the Candidate Build of Win8 is out:

Faster than Windows 7? We will see in the final release.
The major flaws of the current Windows are, in my opinion:
- An old file system that supports many features, but has not yet solved the problem of fragmentation (already solved in many other OS from ...  year 2000)  [In b4 solved with SSD];
- The software included in the OS is not complete;
- A very slow startup.

It will all be solved with Windows 8?

An interesting feature to graphically see the web page elements:

Snowing!!

I will pass this snowy Saturday to play something old ...
