About Android
Finally, I had a chance to play with Android SDK and develop something. Something called Istanbul Guide, yes the Android version of my first iPhone App. It’s available both in Android Market and Community Markets for free to download.
I’m interested in Android because it’s open, it’s linux, it’s java … etc. If you look at end user point, no doubt that iPhone is the killer. iOS is its limited, there are boundaries and rules you have to obey. I want freedom. Why? Recently started a new project (still in design phase), which aims to make disabled people’ life easier. Resulted application supposed to modify underling operating system to replace existing user-device interaction like replacing standard keypad … etc. That’s impossible for iOS but not in Android.
I’ll be still working on iOS but I believe innovation happens when it’s open.
Best Reactions to Microsoft Windows Phone 7
Microsoft announced next generation Windows Mobile at MWC in Barcelona. We don’t have much information about the product (just something new in UI) but there is a buzz around and here is the best user reactions to Windows Phone 7 Series.
How do you ctrl+alt+del?
Does the it comes with antivirus, antispyware, anti-malware?
I guess 7 is their lucky number !
Yes, I’d like to see HOW it works as a phone.
Horriable interface with too much animation. Animation is the first and last crutch for designers who can’t design a usable interface.
WTF is a a Zune?
Nothing to see here. More of the same, Microsoft collapsing under its own internal incompetent congestion. Innovation? These guys have no freaking CLUE what that is.
I’m just glad I don’t have any Microsoft stock.
Going down!
Down!
Worst product name ever.

Windows 7 + Family Guy = Horror. Here’s the proof
Just another Windows Ad Camping, guess how awesome it is !!! And this is the reason why I prefer South Park.
Augmented Reality
By definition
Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery – creating a mixed reality.
I have already selected some AR research topics that would be useful for educating kids or making life easier for disabled people. Planning to discuss this issue with my adviser tomorrow, If he agrees what I’m thinking that’d be great.
Tonight, I downloaded the ARToolKit, built and got working my first simple AR application on Snow Leopard. Proof:
Best South Park Episodes Part 2
I have shared some of my favorite South Park Episodes and now, here is the rest of my list.
- Season 6 Episode 7 “Simpsons Already Did It”
- Season 8 Episode 8 “AWESOM-O”
- Season 10 Episode 8 “Make Love, Not Warcraft”
- Season 11 Episode 2 “Cartman Sucks”
- Season 12 Episode 9 “Breast Cancer Show Ever”
- Season 13 Episode 2 “The Coon”
I think South Park made really good start to Season 13 with “The Coon” which I have blogged about the mysterious hero “Who Is Mysterion?”. I still seek the identity of the Mysterion Kid. If you know something about it, please share it with me. May be we have to stay and wait and see what will happen in the following episodes.
Who is Mysterion?
South Park made a cool start to Season 13. Episode 2; “The Coon” is awesome, watched twice and still don’t know the true identity of Mysterion Kid. Made a quick research by exploring south park forums and fun sites but I couldn’t find the right answers to the question “Who is Mysterion?”
In my opinion Kenny or Clyde could be Mystreion Kid in the episode. My clues;
- When Cartman speaks about “Who is the Coon?” only Kenny and Stan pay attention to Cartman but Clyde sleeps in the class (may be tired whole night?).
- Kenny is poor and he doesn’t have enough money to have a nice costume.
- When Mysterion fights Professor Chaos, he dies and wakes up again. Kenny does it always.
- Kenny’s and Clyde’s voice are so close to Mysterion’s deep voice.
These are my thoughts about Mysterion but it is South Park anyone could be him. I think directors have future plans about super heroes.
Because Twitter is Down

Microblogging: A Semantic and Distributed Approach
We (I and him) usually talk about microblogging and its issues in the both web 2.0 and semantic web. While I was searching some articles I found this paper which addresses some issues encountered about microblogging. Unfortunately it doesn’t mention all the problems about microblogging, that’ s why we still have the chance to start a cool research.
