Divorce, it happens. How do you manage divorce with Facebook and so many other connections in life? What if you keep finding out things you would rather not know via social networking sites? A simple example, my ex and her family are visible to me through our common children on Facebook. Honestly I would rather [...]
Hi All, If you are going to the event next week in Berlin then let me know about it. Maybe we can meet face to face and if there are enough of us perhaps even a gourp community meeting. This can be a good opportunity to meet the experts. In any case, you are all welcome to [...]
You are a JavaScript programmer. You want to write an application that can access some really cool sensors on the client platform: accelerometer, gps, thermometer, compass, ambient light sensor, etc. There are different ways that such an API might show up. For example, to access temperature on the client,
I just proposed a compass API for the Moblin Sensor Framework. We'd like to eventually make it part of the browser so your web app can use the data (See Andy Idsinga's post). But for now on the Moblin platform, it's a GObject API. Go have a look and tell me what you think. If [...]
What is performance per Watt? Performance per Watt is pretty straight forward when you first look at it. Then you begin to sink in the quicksand you’ve blithely walked into. The panic sets in as you sink lower and lower. Eventually you decide to ignore the whole complicated mess and go back to saying to yourself [...]
One of the big advantages of blogging is that I can write about anything I want, as long is it doesn’t violate any Intel conduct rules, refer to any competitors, reveal any confidential information, insult anyone, compliment people (yeah, I said compliment), and so on and so on and so on. Outside of that, I [...]
If you have been following my blogs, you know that I am porting a DirectX-based demo application to OpenGL as the first phase in the project to play the app on a netbook with an Atom processor. If you’ve missed a few or would like to read all of my blogs pertaining to this [...]
Andy blathers about a cool app he saw at a Portland demo event and how web developers are actively finding ways to connect web apps to the devices we use all the time.
Wow! I’m still counting the number of technical press articles, blog posts, forum posts, and tweets we've received since announcing the Intel Atom Developer Program at IDF on Sept. 22 in Paul Otellini's keynote. The Intel Software Network Article, "New Opportunities for Software Developers" went live during Renee James 9/23 keynote which featured a [...]
As someone that writes about ultra mobile computing for a living, the Intel Developer Forum is quite simply the highlight of my year. Sure, CES brings shiny gadget goodness every January but nothing allows me to analyze or predict the ultra mobile future like IDF. This year was even more exciting as Intel brought me [...]
Everybody is playing IT Manager 3: Unseen Forces now :) Ok, not everybody, but there are many tens of thousands of players, competition is high, and a lot of changes were seen in the LeaderBoard. We have talked about this IT game in previous posts (here and here), but much of the renewed interest on the game comes [...]
Intel Software Network Black Belt Developer, Gaston Hillar, spoke with me on video at the Intel Developer Forum last week about the opportunities he sees for developers to participate in the new Intel Atom Developer Program. Gaston appeared onstage, during Corporate Vice President Renee Jame's keynote, showing his application Gaston's Playground on Windows and Moblin, [...]
