Native User Interfaces and controls

Jul 27, 2009
Today I was reading the comments on the article "Opera: Apple, Ubuntu should include browser ballout screen too" and like always, everyone was commenting about how unsuccessful Opera is, hence the article. It really is and anyone that works on web development will know how good Opera is, but at the same time knows why it's not their main browser.

wrong

I don't want to find _the_ cause why Opera fails to get a piece of market share, I just want to give my personal opinion on why Opera and any other software that doesn't use native controls fails to impress me.

My hopes on the Android device

Sep 27, 2008
Right now I have an iPhone 1st gen and while it was a really good device at the begining, right now is really buggy and to be honest the lack of multitasking between applications or a decent notification system makes it an awesome phone with iPod capabilities, but not a computer. Not to mention the crappy apps you can get from the App Store. In the other hand Android looks good, more like a computer than the iPhone. It reminds me the blackberry I used to have, connected to Gtalk and Twitter and a few other applications at the same time.

Ok, after I made the big mistake to update my 1st gen iPhone to the 2.0 OS, I've been having TONS of problems with the device: Safari crashes, call crashes, Map crashes, etc.

My hackintosh rig

Jul 22, 2008
I recently bought a PC for two big reasons: Playing AoC which I didn't like much and for playing around with Mac OSX in a PC. I tried to choose my rig parts based on the list at the OSX86 Project. This is what I got:
  • Motherboard: ASUS P5K-VM $114.95
  • Ram: Corsair 1GB x 2 800Mhz $59.95
  • Case: Cooler Master Elite 330 Chassis: $49.95
  • CPU: Intel Core™2 Duo Processor E4500 2.2GHz w/ 2MB Cache : $129.95
  • Hard Drive: Hitachi 160GB Deskstar 7K160 SATA II $52.95
  • Video Card: THE FAIL! nVidia EVGA 9600GT Superclocked $159.95
  • DVD Drive: I had one.

Not getting the iPhone 3G (for now)

Jul 10, 2008
It's just not worth the money and the plan for me. I already have a 1st gen iPhone ulocked using fido month-to-month plan and I want to keep using that. I need a data plan for sure, but first I want to try the new 2.0 firmware and AppStore. So, no. GPS is not vital for me. $30 for 400MB... Sorry, I pass for now.
