Last week I got to know that the Symbian Foundation would be closing their sites and all repositories by 17th of December. As much as Symbian is criticized, it still can do a lot for the community. My post started to raise discussions and I am glad to see Tyson [...]
Airplane! (“Y’a-t-il un pilote dans l’avion”), The Naked Gun (“Y’a-t-il un flic pour …”) are movies that definitely had a impact on my youth. Watching reruns at university, nights after nights. An other page turned on the movie industry, and Leslie Nielsen joins the pantheon of our teenage idols. He [...]
Rafe from All About MeeGo and I were at the MeeGo Conference 2010 in Dublin. We spent some time interviewing the companies presenting their products. Here is ICS presenting their dashboard created in Qml in just 2 weeks. Also available in HD ——————————————————————————————-^
Since the Symbian Foundation announced it was closing, questions remained regarding the availability of the source code of the Symbian platform under open source license. Eyes were turned towards Nokia who is the one now in charge of the platform. Well, it seems that Symbian is getting back to closed [...]
I cam across that video of Kent Jenkins (aka snubbyj) playing for the Lions Loyola Marymount University students. Amazing performance and talent. Kent would like to join the Blueman Group. He already went to one audition, but the jury felt he needed more life experience. Couple years of college should [...]
Couple days ago, I received a text from a friend of mine: “Thursday, Old Abattoirs, 7PM, #DexterLive event.” Was a bit cryptic, but sounded like fun. There was also a link, so I followed and registered. The Old Abattoirs were a perfect location for the event. Here is how it [...]
Starting as a spinoff of O2, GiffGaff started its operation by building a community. A year later, the startup has strong products, a strong community and definitely a good spirit. Watch this video they shot to celebrate their birthday:
You’re in London? You love Angry Birds? Why don’t you join us for the first Birthday Party of Angry Birds?? Here it is, announced today by Rovio: It's been in the planning for a while and we're now proud to announce that we'll be organizing one in London. You can [...]
A bit of background info on that post: Jon Orlin from TechCrunch declares “talking” dead. I just wanted to react to that because I find it completely insane to “promote” that kind of thinking. As much as one can decide that a certain “technology” is becoming useless, we’re now talking [...]
Closing the MeeGo Conference, we got invited to the Aviva Stadium for the Ireland-Norway game. Was definitely a fun time and here are couple videos to testify. aMeeGos singing for MeeGo: MeeGo advert played at the stadium during intermission:
{EAV:11cff48be37d1a0c} It’s been crazy at the Campus Party and I’ve had an amazing time! I was last night at the “Geeks on Beer” event, listening to investors, startups and entrepreneurs discussing about the Brazilian market, the challenges and opportunities. It was a crash course in Portuguese, but it was fun [...]
Since I got to São Paulo on Monday, I’ve been diving deep in the Campus Party. It’s been really fun and I’ve started to feel like a Campusero myself. But it hasn’t been that easy… Let’s rewind and look at how things went! I got to the venue on [...]Once again, I am lucky to spend time with bright people sharing their passion of Technology, Innovation with maybe a bit of geekyness So what is the Campus Party? The Campus Party is the reunion of thousands of individuals, coming together for a week in the same location and doing [...]
When I joined Nokia back in 2007, I had never done much of public speaking and was for sure not looking for that kind of role. After 2 years working on products, I was lucky enough to be brought to Mobile World Congress to be on the floor, “selling” the [...]
Kevin Energy was playing his last set at Sade last night. Had an amazing time with the guys as usual. Hard to explain the feeling, and am sure this video will not give the full picture.If someone knows about pushing the limits, it is Jeb Corliss. His dream has been to land a wingsuit without parachute. He has been practicing flying and has done amazing videos, pushing the envelope. Today the bucket of luck emptied dramatically. Jeb was jumping in Cape Town, at the Table [...]
If 5 years ago, someone would have told me that they were building a new mobile operator in France, I would have though they were crazy. It takes an amazing amount of resource, energy, money and time to build an infrastructure that supports modern technologies. On top of that, you [...]I’m now sitting at a café in Helsinki. It’s -11°c outside, just bought winter tires for my bike and chilling before heading home. It has been 6 months that I have not contributed to my blog… Where have those 6 months gone? What have I done so important and time [...]
Quick update! Last Friday I was invited by a friend to join an event at Premier Park, a driving track in southern Finland. The event was quite interesting as we got a chance to discover the different tracks around activities such as off road driving, emergency braking and traction control [...]
The N9, rumored to be Nokia’s first MeeGo device, seems to be on the verge of becoming public. For once, Nokia has managed to create a lot of buzz behind an event that used to be unnoticed: Nokia Connection 2011 Nokia is known to host its events on the sidelines of major [...]
