Only 20% IE and Firefox on 1st place?

That’s impresive guys.

PS: I’ve switched to Chrome. Firefox 3.0 was depressingly slow. Maybe when Firefox 3.5 is out of beta I’ll give it another try.

When I’ve heard that Apple sales a hand mirror as a Video Conference Kit I thought: That’s a joke.

Imagine yourself (a man) walking around, with a mirror in your hand.

Aarggghhh! Soooo, gay!!!

Very good joke indeed.

Here is my geeky solution, that you can use w/o being ashamed ;-)

I would use a spring clamp, covered by rubber. The spring clamp will continue  with a flexible arm.

The video conferencing software could correct a little bit the image distortion.

Here is – as an example – a Video Conference with Milton.

I’ve asked him if he can give me his RED stapler ;-)

And… well… here is a lousy prototype with my RED spring clamp:

I didn’t even used a fisheye mirror and it worked.

I’m pretty sure that I’m not the first one having this idea, but why the hell nobody does it?!

At least the guys from ThinkGeek should do it :D

There is another alternative I found on YouTube, but I consider it not so “mobile” and a little bit bulky:

Feel free to comment on this topic.

In other news… Since a while, there is a Windshield Wiper available for iPhone.

It keeps your screen clean and it’s fully patented.

Since a few weeks Silverlight drives me crazy. It crashes Google’s Chrome bigtime.
I was searching for disabling it, but no success. Still searching…
Meanwhile I found some “about:” pages for Chrome.
The nicest one is “about:internets”. Yes… It made of tubes :D

Update: I found a solution. Add/Remove Programs -> Microsoft Silverlight -> Uninstall. Sayonara!

De ce Lexus IS200?

June 11th, 2009 | Posted by deCoder in Misc - (0 Comments)

Motor de 2L, 155 CP, tractiune spate, 6 viteze. Are aproximativ acelasi motor ca si BMW320i.

BMW-ul are putin mai mult torque dar e si mai greu, asa ca pe undeva se compenseaza.

Masina asta m-a costat acum un an jumate ~9.500 Euro. Asa cum o vedeti.

E din 2000, avea 80.000 Km. Inca nu am ajuns la service cu ea. Pe forumurile din Germania am citit ca service-ul este asemanator unui BMW 320i.

La acelasi pret, cu aceiasi Km as fi putut lua, spre exemplu, un Ford Mondeo din 2003 sau un BMW 320 din 1998.

Nu sunt genul de om care se da in vant dupa masini sport. Am vrut o masina discreta, sigura, putin exotica, puternica si fiabila. 

Pur si simplu mi-a placut cum ma simt in ea si cum se comporta la drum.

Dupa 1 an jumate de mers cu ea nu regret ca am ales-o.

Cam asa se comporta motorul la o intrare mai rapida pe autostrada:

Despre siguranta?

iPhone Update (2.2.1)

Am gasit ceva timp sa-mi fac update de la 1.1.3 la 2.2.1.

3.0 e inca in beta ptr. curajosi (am auzit ca a “rasuflat” pe torrent). Cica o sa fie la download peste cateva zile.

Intai am facut update la 1.1.4 sa-mi exersez nervii si apoi cu QuickPwn la 2.2.1

Procedura e simpla:

 

Procedura a durat cam o ora (cu tot cu download-uri). Insa research-ul premergator m-a costat 2-3 ore :D

Acum, de ce am facut update? Pentru Cydia si Installer bineinteles. Aditional si pentru AppStore.

Ce applicatii utile am gasit? Iata o lista:

De pe Cydia

  • Bookreader
  • WinterBoard
  • SMSCounter si CallCounter
  • OfflineMaps
  • dTunes
  • Cycorder
  • File2Mail
  • MPlayer si VLC
  • MxTube
  • BossPrefs
  • Vibrus
  • Pysl

De pe AppStore

  • Skype
  • SHOUTCast
  • Free Wi-Fi
  • Google Earth
  • MeinStadt
  • TV Select
  • Shazam
  • DarkRoom
  • Wikipanion

Comerciale

  • WordRoll DE (un dictionar foarte bun la numau 1 Euro)

Deoarece nu am vrut sa-mi bag VISA card in AppStore, am luat un iTunes Card de 15 Euro si asa mi-au activat contul.

Cardurile astea se gasesc la toate magazinele de electronice din Germania (MediaMarkt, Saturn, etc.)

Ah… Sa nu uit. iPhone PC Suite e un programel destul de util. E made in China da merge mai bine decat iTunes ;-)

Noapte buna Romania…

Eu cred ca schimb canalul.

Deoarce am indoieli ca cei care vor sa ne cumpere numai pentru 50 de lei sunt prosti si idea originala cu acoperirea stampilei o sa le dea de gandit, am pregatit un scurt tutorial in photoshop.

  • Se face poza fara stampile
  • Se face poza cu stampile
  • Se uploadeaza pozele in PC
  • Se aplica tutorialul (Gimp merge deasemenea)
  • Se uploadeaza pozele din nou in telefon sau camera
  • Se duce pe rand la PSD si PDL si se incaseaza “Cascavalul”

PS: Grija mare la informatiile EXIF. Trebuie sa coincida cu ziua alegerilor ;-)

We wanted today the the RichEdit box where the license and the readme is displayed is a little bit wider.

The only hack we found was to play low-level with Inno Setup’s WizardForm controls.

It is a little bit messy, but at least it works. The idea is to resize the parent of the TRichEditViewer relative to the width of the entire form and just for the License and Readme screens.

Here is the code you need to paste in the [Code] area of Inno Setup script.

If you have better idea let me know.
