I’m a rock star

Yes, I’m a rock star but not the one you already know, a geek one. Today, I’ve seen the best TV ad of 2009; Intel TV ad “Sponsors of Tomorrow”.

So, if I rearrange my top companies having best ad campaigns;

  • Intel
  • Apple
  • Nokia
  • IBM
  • Microsoft

Microsoft needs a new agency, seriously.

Microsoft IE Loses the Battle Against Firefox and Safari

Check out w3school browser stats and see how Microsoft IE is losing market share against Firefox and Safari.  So, why are they losing the browser war?  Remember the old saying “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”

Now let’s quick look at the new IE 8, following sites are not supported by IE 8:

  1. microsoft.com
  2. google.com
  3. yahoo.com
  4. wikipedia.org
  5. flickr.com
  6. wordpress.com
  7. adobe.com
  8. facebook.com
  9. apple.com
  10. youtube.com

A quick look for the new Safari 4; Safari 4 Released, Claimed “30 Times Faster Than IE7″

First they ignored us now Open Source is winning the battles against Microsoft.

The Green Trend

Probably, Web 2.0 era is the golden age of the web with fancy social applications. So, what’s next? Failure !!!  These 2.0 companies already have started to run out of money and struggling to come up with new ideas.

So what will the next round be? Economic crises, energy problems, global warming … etc. centric solutions which points green computing will rule the market.

Some companies already have produced their greenest products like Apple MacBooks. In my opinion more entrepreneurs are going to focus on green technology to make a difference.

From Windows to OS X

A nice article about how one developer migrated from Windows to OS X (and why)

…These things are hugely important in the business world, totally unexciting to anyone else, and the people writing them aren’t really “programmers.” I mean, they are, in the sense that they’re writing programs, but they’re not especially interested in programming or anything like that. They don’t really care about the quality of the libraries and tools they’re using; they just want something simple enough that they can pick it up without too much difficulty. They’ll never write the best code or the best programs in the world; they won’t be elegant or well-structured or pretty to look at. But they’ll work…

The Server In You Pocket

I’ve been dealing with iPhone since I bought it but I’ve not mentioned it before. I don’t have a mac so I don’t have an iPhone SDK too. I was using cross platform compilers to compile an application on windows and put it on iPhone. It is really painful. Today I got my first server up and running, it is django development server. Also, a crud application running on it.

A tutorial is available about it.
