Flash Platform Camp Wellington presentations

by kai on 13/09/2010

Flash Platform Camp Wellington 2010 is over and it was good fun. I'm going to write a larger post about it (also covering the night activities of speakers and sponsors). This post is really just to push out the page where the presentation materials e.g. slides, code samples, videos etc. are hosted. At the moment, 7 presenters have supplied me with their content, I've got another one or two emails…

Google Nexus One: Why there's no Froyo (Android 2.2) for the European Vodafone version (EPF30) yet.

by kai on 01/07/2010

When I was living in Germany (back in the days) - Vodafone Germany used to be the most annoying mobile services provider ever. They basically took any phone they were selling, disassembled the firmware and the OS and rebranded the whole bloody device with their Vodafone corporate red, Vodafone live! and all sorts of other sh*t (yes, I mean it exactly this way).

Apple vs Adobe vs HTML 5 vs Apple vs Flash vs whatever

by kai on 30/04/2010

I'm fed up. It's enough. Thx. I don't care who started it; I don't care why Steve and Shantanu don't want to play with each other's companies anymore and I'm seriously fed up with everyone talking about nothing else.

You all have an idea what a data center is, right? Quite large buildings hosting a vast amount of technology such as server racks and servers, air conditioning, diesel backup generators and much more. A data center is pretty much the…
