Nokia77 is used in Live Free or Die Hard by hackers. Good to see something different then MacBook or Sony Vaio.

Last week I upgrade my Fedora Core 8 to the latest stable kernel 2.6.24.3-12. As result the compilation of VMWare module vmmon gave that error:
Solution is to use vmware-any-any-update116.
In my case I manually copied patched vmmon.tar, vmblock.tar and vmnet.tar to the /usr/lib/vmware/modules/source because script from vmware-any-any-update116 crashed by some reason.
Maemo Team recently released a set of plug-ins for Maemo Eclipse integration. It allows developers to use Eclipse IDE to develop and test Maemo applications. Actually, the set contains following parts: maemo PC Connectivity, maemo ESBox plugin for Eclipse IDE and maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse IDE.
Maemo PC connectivity makes connection between developer PC and Internet Tablet. Maemo ESBox plugin for Eclipse IDE integrates maemo SDK Scratchbox based development environment to the Eclipse development environment. So, developers can do all their work from Eclipse IDE. Maemo Pluthon plugin for Eclipse IDE allows to develop and test Python application directly on Internet Tablet without using maemo SDK and Scratchbox.
As I see that set of plug-ins will make the process of Maemo development easier and more suitable. I’m going to install Eclipse IDE on my fresh Kubuntu 7.10 and use Maemo PC connectivity with Maemo ESBox plugin for LinuxMCE Orbiter for Nokia770/N800/N810.

Google Gears was ported to Nokia’s Linux-based Internet Tablet platform Maemo. This port allows you to install the Gears extension to devices like Nokia’s N800 and N810:
The code is in a SVN repository with vendor branches. The changes should be relatively easy to spot (svn diff). The changes are not well- engineered, rather they just indicate the difference between gecko 1.8 and 1.9. This is to keep the delta as small as possible. In practice, if these modifications are wanted in the main codebase, the changes should be done a bit differently (==build abstractions around thread queues).
For more information, please, read this.
This is not fresh news but still. I like idea of Google Gears to work with on-line content without Internet connection and then synchronize the results. And I like the idea to port it to Maemo platform (especially taking into account that my N810 was shipped today from UK to Cyprus). So, let’s see and help to Kimmo Kinnunen to tune Google Gears for Maemo.

The name of a wireless hands-free communication and entertainment system is Sync. For $395 you get possibility to connect various devices such mobile phones, portable media players etc to your car audio system. Additionally Sync includes integrated diagnostics system, which gives vehicle health report to the driver, and, of course, navigation system.
In my opinion, it’s really good and useful. The number of mobiles devices grows very fast and people want to have possibility to connect them to their cars. This is a wise decision of Microsoft to expand its zone of dominance.
