Sorry bro, nostalgia time

I'm fighting with nostalgia in these days...

Do you remember it?

Epic game!

No brain allowed

A very good collection of neuronal (failed) connections from uncle Rick:

Smartphone OS now in one image

Android is sucking c**ck to iOS, in the while Windows Phone is doing nothing, just watching.

Just kidding :P

I'm waiting to see the Windows 8 Phone OS (Apollo) and what is true in all those rumors about the new Android OS (I'm still waiting for an upgrade to ICS for some 2010/11 models).

Android in your x86 PC

Do you have a laptop/netbook/something with the x86 architecture and you want to change OS?
If you have a:

• ASUS Eee PCs/Laptops
• Viewsonic Viewpad 10
• Dell Inspiron Mini Duo
• Samsung Q1U
• Viliv S5
• Lenovo ThinkPad x61 Tablet 

or other device you can put in Android for x86!

Download the latest iso:

There is the 4.0RC iso... let's try it on VirtualBox, I use the Asus EEEpc iso:

Low ram and too much video ram (8 MB Video is fine, 400-500 MB Ram too) to test...

In the Audio section: ICH AC97 doesn't work! Use SoundBlaster16! ;-)

For Network section use PCnet-Fast III (NAT)!

Ok, a decent Metro Start Menu for Windows 8

Hey Microsoft, this is a functional Metro Start:

And wow! Customization! It's clearly not a Microsoft product! (Right click on the Orb)

You can use it like the old Start Menu, but this is with the original Metro.

Download it: http://stardock.cachefly.net/Start8_setup.exe

StarDock offers us a ""beta"", a preview of its program.
I think that after the ""trial"" period (September 2012) this add-on will be available only by purchasing it.
So... other third party softwares for fixing internal problems... 


I think that with only this "big fix" the most issues of Windows 8 are "patched": you can reach apps/programs list, etc... you have everything at your fingertips (and eyes).

Uhm... yeah, my idea of "gadget-abled" apps could integrate better Metro and Desktop...

By the way (I have only Windows 8 in mind in these days :P  Sorry!):
Ah,.... Metro Apps section could be better... Ms think about it!

Valve and its new console oh wow

It's a rumor but...

Metro Apps in your desktop PC: useful?

I think Metro Apps and the Desktop can live together.
Now we can (only with high resolution... Ms, oh you...) dock apps with the Desktop and dock them with another app.
But...  if we can use Apps in different ways?

•  Immersive way, fullscreen like now;
•  Docked way, with other apps or with Desktop;
•  floatable way?

With "Floatable way" I means Apps could be like gadgets (old gadgets can be dropped), you can put them in the Desktop with the "Snap" action (in the center of the screen could be) and the App could be resized or moved.

So, we could have 3 different ways to use Apps.

And in a desktop computer there could be a "visual multitasking" with those Apps (now you can put side by side one app to another app...  two "windows"... a bit limited)

and with the Weather App (tiled, expanded mode and actions):
