Last 2/3 months I used a bit of my free time studying Android the so called “Google OS”, that is the result of the Open Handset Alliance. In this relatively short amount of time I had the possibility to collect information from the official sources, as well as from very interesting and active forums (like this one and this one). I had also the possibility to meet other experts during the Android Code Day event (here a summary what we did there). It was a very good place to ask important business related questions: I should say that the Google Developer Advocate Jason Chen was very keen to answer my tricky questions ;-) . Spending other words on this here is quite pointless: half of the web speaks about it (while the other half speaks about iPhone ;) ). But I would like to share part of the result of this study: * A Presentation: "Into the Android" [[PDF](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/Into the Android.pdf) | [HTML+Flash](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/Into the Android.html)] * Video #1: MWC - Android running on different ARM-based devices [[mp4](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/MWC - Android running on different ARM-based devices.mp4)] * Video #2: MWC - Android running on E2831 [[mp4](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/MWC - Android running on E2831.mp4)] * Source code of the Application I developed for study (actually, is just the [Tutorial](http://code.google.com/android/intro/tutorial.html) that comes with the [SDK](http://code.google.com/android/download.html) with much more internal documentation ;) ): [VSNotepad.tar.gz](http://downloads.detronizator.org/intotheandroid/VSNotepad.tar.gz). The presentation explains different details of the Development process using the code of this application as an example. The video are also on Youtube and embedded here after the jump. ...

UPDATE Grazie alle “magie” (ehm, “magagne”? ;) ) di cui e’ capace C++, il miracolo e’ avvenuto (e, giuro, l’Elefante non ha subito alcun danno; anzi!). Fare il "Forward-Porting" di questa [en:API] e' come far entrare un [it:Elefante] in una [it:Fiat_Cinquecento|Cinquecento].

C’e’ un coglione collega che lavora con me che si chiama: Capa ‘ianc!!! ovvero Whitehead

It’s incredible. She was here around with us, working with us. Managing the career of people. Of Software Engineer like me. English: controlled, polite but sociable and engaged and enthusiast in her job. Vomiting. Strong Vomiting. Anyone assumed was just a Virus of the Flue a little bit stronger than usual. My Engineering Manager’s email of yesterday: What Suzanne thought was the sickness and vomiting bug actually turned out to be a small brain haemorrhage when she went to A&E last Wednesday night. Martin, Suzanne’s husband, called on Thursday to let me know what was happening and indicated at that time that Suzanne would require an operation. On talking to him yesterday it transpired that Suzanne has had a subsequent haemorrhage on Sunday night…. ...

Sounds impossible? Depends on WHERE you get bored. Please, do do it in the [en:House of Parliament]. [en:LONDON] (AFP) - [en:Queen Elizabeth II]’s speech in the [en:British Parliament] Tuesday may have been routine but at least nobody got bored to death. That would have been against the law. Dying in parliament is an offence and is also by far the most absurd law in [en:Britain], according to a survey of nearly 4,000 people by a television channel showing a legal drama series. And though the lords were clad in their red and white ermine cloaks and ambassadors from around the world wore colourful national costumes, at least nobody turned up in a suit of armour. Illegal. Other rules deemed utterly stupid included one that permits a pregnant woman to urinate in a policeman’s hat and murdering bow-and-arrow-carrying Scotsmen within the city walls of York, northern England. A law stating that in [en:Liverpool], only a clerk in a tropical fish store is allowed to be publicly topless, was also ridiculous, said a poll of 3,931 people for UKTV Gold television out Tuesday. Nearly half of those surveyed admitted to breaking the ban on eating mince pies on Christmas Day, which dates back to the 17th century and was originally designed to outlaw gluttony during the rule of the Puritan [en:Oliver Crowmell]. The laws and other regulations were culled from published research into ancient legislation that has never been repealed although subsequent statutes have rendered them obsolete. Respondents were given a shortlist and asked to vote. Most ridiculous British law: ...

After a lot of unmotivated comments (for the quality of the Movie itself) about my post about Domino Harvey, I finally have another Domino to talk about. This is an ads going on in the UK TV. It’s from Guinness, one of the most strong-tasty (I say “not very much good tasty”), beer that you can find in any pub here. But the advert is very very good ;) Title: Guinness Tipping Point Domino advert Abstract: New Guinness Advert - only previously available to those who solved the puzzles on the Guinness website! ...
