Once you go Black...

Things have changed over the past two months in which I haven’t posted any blogs.  It is an exciting time: I found out I am to enter the working world next year, I produced and edited material I never would have dreamt of doing 12 months ago, the watertank in our residence burst (wasn’t too overly joyed about that), and I became the proud new owner of a BlackBerry.

What a difference!

Google and OS

Google is taking over the world one application at a time.  What you might not know, is how significant their contribution is to open source. 

Google has released well over 15 million lines of code and over 500 projects.  Click here to see for yourself.  This makes them the largest open source-based company on the planet.

Mobile goes Symbian

The world we live in has massive insecurities.  We want what we don’t have and when we get what we want, there is a better version already out.  It’s a win – lose situation.  A win, for the companies spawning these new ideas, and a loss for us, the eager, naive and gullible consumer.

People are living in a state of mind where – well, Freddie Mercury said it best – “I want it all and I want it now”.  So many insecurities.  I want what you have, but better, faster and cheaper. 

It is the way the markets are being driven today and cell phone manufacturers are jumping on that seemingly endless bandwagon.

Yes, the mobile world is here.  I know it’s been around for quite some time, but only now are we fully benefiting from the original idea that was the ‘mobile cellular phone’.
