MobileTracker:
“Japanese mega-carrier NTT DoCoMo has announced that it is partnering up
with Network Associates to develop an antivirus engine for mobile
phones.

Tim quotes from a
recent rant of mine.

vowe dot net: “You
have seen this before: Somebody gives you a PPT file that is huge. When
you look inside you find lots of graphics, most of them in uncompressed
BMP format, some even scaled down…”

Stretched Out Software has a Mac OS X
driver for the Sierra Wireless AirCard 555. The AirCard can get
some impressive speeds on Verizon’s Express Network. I’ve seen it go as
fast as 12 kilobytes per second on a Windows PC with a 1,490k download
(a zip file, so any compressing proxy should have had negligible to no
effect).

I finally picked up How the
West Was Won–I can be frugal at times, and I waited until my credit card points were enough for
$50 in Best Buy cards. Then I picked up the two items on my wish list; that album, and the extended
version of Fellowship of the Ring. However, my Mac kept spitting out disc two of HtWWW, but my PC
could read it fine, so iTunes for Windows to the rescue, and I’ll have it in my music collection
before long.

Brighthand:
“MobileWizardry and Mobile Digital Media (MDM) will release an official
Atari 2600 emulator later this year… these games will be available for
Palm OS, Windows Mobile, and Symbian Series 60.”

Tom
Hoffman points to a cool hack called Vnc2swf. It does exactly what
the name suggests. Be sure to check out the movie on Tom’s page and
the sample movies on the Vnc2Swf page.

Rael’s
got some more details on doing MIDP development on Mac OS X.

Thinking in
.NET: “the article is about an application that I’ve been working on
with the guys at 3Leaf (aka Early and Adopter) that’s a .NET interface
to Global Positioning System (GPS) devices.”
