The French government has a long history of using speed as a pretext to tax consumers. Close to 0 tolerance on speed limits, fixed speed cameras with automatic billing (you have to pay before you can defend yourself, removing your rights of innocence until proven guilty) and more. Wednesday, the [...]
Gaming has for me almost always had a mobile component. Let it be from my first Game Boy, the Neo Geo, Game Gear or other handeld consoles, I’ve always enjoyed gaming on the go. With the evolution of mobile phones towards smart phones, there has been several attempts to merge [...]
Here is an interview I made while at Mobile World Congress 2011. Ville Heijari, Bird Whisperer at Rovio, gives us some insight of what’s happening in their world.
Last year at Mobile Monday Summit, I was interviewed by techistan.com to give an introduction to what Agile & Scrum are about.
In my previous post, I mentioned that Qt would still be part of the Nokia strategy. Although it was not clear on the initial announcement, Rich Green, Nokia’s CTO, made sure that the message was picked up at MWC. On the same note, Nokia has been said to “disengage” from [...]
Alright, so there has been a lot of complaints from Symbian. Most of it is down to Nokia’s lack of UI/UX leadership and execution, but that’s what most of the consumers see and complain about. So let’s NOT talk about that, shall we? What am interested in right now, is [...]
Myriad announced before Mobile World Congress that they had managed to get Dalvik running on the N900, giving the opportunity to the ecosystem to use Android applications on the Maemo platform. Here is a quick video I grabbed from Myriad’s hospitality suite.
Finns and scandinavians will be familiar with that concept. Plunging into freezing water after spending 20mins at 120 degrees in Sauna is a good way to tighten the body and wake up the mind. This is pretty much what I went through as I got pushed of the burning platform [...]
{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.

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.

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’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.
