Nokia have publicly stated on many occasions that they expect to sell over 50 million Symbian^3 devices
yes, I saw that number too and that number confused me even more as that number is an 'official number' for the investors. And as such it must be kind of truthful statement about the Nokia's view of expected symbian^3 phone sales. If Nokia estimated symbian^3 sales totally wrong (too much or too little) investors might sue them... again.
So is 50 million really a lot? two weeks ago Gartner said Nokia sold 29.5 million (symbian) smartphones during the third quarter of the year (for a 36.6 percent share of the worldwide market). So how long will it take for the Nokia to sell that 50 million symbian^3 phones. Could that happen during the next 6-9 months? And how long is Nokia really looking forward to be selling Symbian^3 phones? I take that 50 million being a semi-hidden statement indicating a drastic reduction of the strategic importance of the symbian platform.
But yes, there will probably be need for the symbian skills for the many years to come. Especially IF Nokia will be announcing more symbian phones.
If anyone is interested in hiring some great developers/build/test people in London, drop me a message.
Sorry about the symbian situation in London, hopefully the EU commission backed symbeose project will widen the industrial interest for the platform. The press announcement told mentioned at least ~26 non-named companies being involved, thus there might be big consumer electronics companies looking for symbian information and expertise. Maybe you can better sell the symbian expert skills as a symbian team, and as such you might also get some EU- funding for the pilot projects. Ask the EU commission for details.
Pentagon is preparing to monitor the coming release with 120 reviewers. Therefore, it appears Pentagon isn't yet convinced about the non-harmful nature of Wikileaks.
For possible future patent trolls and to the all reading professional... remember reading the following as "prior art".
(kind of like marking bad HDD sectors but instead marking bad processors broken)
TITLE: System, method and device for reliable computing applications
CLAIM 1: Computer device, system and failure eliminating method for computer devices k n o w n for the computer systems ability to evaluate each processor's ability to operate without significant errors and if such errors would be detected the system could be capable for marking such processor units broken and thereby eliminate the future use of such broken processor units withing the computer system.
another battle that hasn't ended.... is if Geohot is a reincarnated God as some have suggested (mostly until 10 days ago), or a fucking idiot who ruined it for everyone - well since the Sony's announcement... until now.
The average car will consume during its construction 10% of the energy used during its lifetime.
How many barrels of oil does it take to equal the energy consumed during 10% of a car’s lifetime? Let's see:
In the US, the average car has a median lifetime of 17 years. (Source: Matt Creenson, Associated Press: "Is This the Beginning of the End?" )
On average, a car will consume 750 gallons of gas per year.
17 years x 750 gallons of gas per year = 12,750 gallons of gas consumed during the median lifetime of an American car;
1 gallon of gas = 125,000 BTUs;
12,750 gallons consumed x 125,000 BTUs per gallon = 1,593,750,000 BTU’s consumed during the median lifetime of an American car.
1,593,750,000 x 10% = 15,9375,000 BTUs consumed during the car’s construction;
159,375,000 BTUs consumed during construction divided by 5,800,000 BTU’s in one barrel of oil = slightly more than 27 barrels of oil. Twenty seven barrels of oil (42 gallons of oil per barrel) contain 1,142 gallon of oil.
Michael C. Ruppert, editor of From the Wilderness and author of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of The American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, has estimated the construction of the average car consumes 42 barrels of oil.
I did, and I've had my share of these kinds of patent troubles. I no longer believe so much for (SW) patents and consider most of those waste of time. And I agree showing prior art is tricky, very tricky.
And I hope, if needed, I've got enough both offensive and defensive patent skills if needed. In past I've done inventions, written patent applications and got patents. So I know the formal things. But as I publish the patent details, as you mentioned, using those interconnected patent claims, well chances are I publish something I *could* get a patent self as it described as a real invention. And if I manage to describe a patentable invention then it alone may serve as a defense - if their's isn't exactly like mine.
And what about those offensive techniques, if you annoy me enough changes are I invalidate your other patents and hurt your R & D badly. Well I've done that too (in 2005-2006). Basically It took 2 weeks of HARD HARD HARD patent breaking activity, but it was enough to cause a lawsuit against me dropped - as in those two weeks I managed to make myself just too F*king poisonous to bite. But as said it was rough... very rough... but... it can be done. And no it was not a small entity that was suing me;)
...besides SW patents , who cares... I remember one brave attitude being shown with the in BBC's OS video codec project. They just said: if there would be patent infringement claims... they would just code around those....
So, I don't know what works for you... I just believe publishing SW inventions at the Usenet is an easy non-expensive way for making good quality prior art.
Latest was on 20th juli 2009 and it started like this
Dear all reading professional(;as described in patent regulations)
I would like you to remember reading this text as prior art, when someone
will try to patent a similar method or a device arrangement, that is
using the techniques shown below.
TITLE: Method and device arrangement for creating audio visual designs
now unPatentable claims
1) A method that is using an evolution based approach for improving or
creating audio and / or visual designs k n o w n for it utilizing a
computer software that generates a set of audio and or visual designs for
the user of the system so that the user can select best design or designs
according to his/her liking the properties present or absent among the
presented set of designs.
2) A device arrangement and a method according to claim 1...
bla bla bla
I think more independent software inventors should do the same i.e publish the patentable details, as it will create submarine patent-eliminators against the patent trolls. Ultimately no one will know what really has been published, or if any software patent will hold in court. For example if I 5 years a from now will read about a patent troll suing someone and I know I have the prior art, well I'll be happy to be the expert witness invalidating the patent.
since 1999 finland has been pushing exactly this kind of super-card technology for exactly the same reasons. So far less than 4% of the population has taken the card. Also the widely available online bank account authentication tools, have effectively made the card obsolete. Finally the government seems to be giving up and gladly accepts the online bank authentication methods for the purpose of identifying anyone online. like this
The British super ID card will have exactly the same fate as the finnish Super-card did.
A server with this Intel Atom equipped mobo draws something like 25-35W under full load. And the performance of these D510 dual core processors is comparable to better Pentium 4 processors.

date of death was October 21nd 2010; and it died exact the same moment as Nokia announced the birth of symbian as "one constantly evolving platform".

Internet is badly broken. Maybe the free society just needs, by default, TOR routed internet browsers - maybe.
just choose to be 10 and your personal information will be 'more' protected; according to ... another news
this and this are likely couple of those places. Maybe you also found this PS2 tax court battle interesting :p

Their friends are being shot and killed or blown up on a daily basis,
Yes please, after watching this video, I like the sound of that.
How Much Energy is Used to Construct a Car?

17 years x 750 gallons of gas per year = 12,750 gallons of gas consumed during the median lifetime of an American car;
1 gallon of gas = 125,000 BTUs;
12,750 gallons consumed x 125,000 BTUs per gallon = 1,593,750,000 BTU’s consumed during the median lifetime of an American car.
1,593,750,000 x 10% = 15,9375,000 BTUs consumed during the car’s construction;
159,375,000 BTUs consumed during construction divided by 5,800,000 BTU’s in one barrel of oil = slightly more than 27 barrels of oil. Twenty seven barrels of oil (42 gallons of oil per barrel) contain 1,142 gallon of oil.
Michael C. Ruppert, editor of From the Wilderness and author of Crossing the Rubicon: The Decline of The American Empire at the End of the Age of Oil, has estimated the construction of the average car consumes 42 barrels of oil.

Alien infiltrators were using Sony's "other OS"-feature when building their protective shields. Yep, never trust a Sony.
You could have at least read the summary:
