Windows OS in A Phone
24Feb09
Nope its not a Windows Mobile, not Vista not XP not even 98.(click link below for pics and full story)
Its Windows 3.1! The OS that made Microsoft what it is today has been ported to run on Symbian OS. How? Via DOSBox, it has been available for quite sometime but only recently have we seen it run on a Nokia N95. Some Polish dude was brave enough to do this. Hmmm makes me jealous, now to find someone who knows Polish so that we can duplicate what he did.

Can Omnia HD Make Iphone Bleed?
21Feb09Click link below for full story
The original Omnia was a beacon of multi-media goodness, would the additional HD on its new sibling dethrone the Apple Iphone. This time, good old Samsung is ditching Windows Mobile for the unproven Symbian Series 60 5th Edition(I’m pretty sure that the problems related to the OS would be resolved by a firmware upgrade.) If you don’t mind not experiencing the brand spanking new Windows Mobile 6.5 then the Omnia HD would be a perfect phone for you. Why? because the monster can play 720p videos(hence the HD name!). For a look on how the phone looks and runs watch the video above.

New Simpsons Opening Clip
16Feb09Who does not love the Simpsons? If you don’t I hate you man! The animated series has been going for more 20 or so years now and it does not show signs of faltering. To go with the changing times(and the mandated change to digital signals) the show is now on high def! To blend with high def, the opening sequence has been changed and it was a great change. They have added and updated the characters shown in the sequence from the Comic Book Guy to Apu’s octuplets. This has been a welcome change for the Simpsons fan in all of us(most of it is just me, heck I even bought the Simpson’s album during the 90s).
Old or New?
12Feb09
Hey guys! Which is better the new Devastator or the old one? Although the old one looks sleek and intimidating the new one is just plain scary. Remember the Transformers 2 trailer where Optimus was fighting a huge Decepticon? Now imagine if him and 4 of his friends merge into a freak of All Spark. You will get a gorilla like creature capable of mass destruction. Watch out for the fugly Devastator in the up coming Transformers 2 Revenge of The Fallen.
