Ние сме все още в шок над това, което току-що окаже. Twitter ипотпал е само рязка рана. А група, които твърдят, че е “Cyber иранската армия” пое Twitter и остана своя текст, лога и изображения на сайта.
Сигурност Twitter на резюме е силно повреден през юли, когато хакери откраднал секретни документи компания изобразяващи неговите операции. Но дори и това не е взел за определяне на сайта. Това е също имаше своя дял на сигурността експлоатира и не ипотпал китовете.
Малко да се сравнява това, което се случи тази вечер. Дори и ако е гражданин на трета страна DNS атака, Twitter все още получава насинено око.
Това е неприемливо за една от световните топ 20-те най-посетен сайтове. Необходимо е да се отговорността за тази ситуация (без значение дали това е в рамките на нервна възбуда или в рамките на трета страна), както и по-подробно обяснение е оправдано. Twitter също трябва да намери начин да се уверя, че това никога не се случва отново.
Ние сме достигнали, за да не само нервна възбуда, но на самите хакери за коментар.
Гениална идея: routeRANK може да ви помогне да сравняват възможностите за пътуване от вас показването на различни избори маршрут, както и чрез изчисляване на общото пътуване време (включително допълнителни форми на ипотпал транспорт като кола или влак), цена и емисии на СО2. По този начин ще мога да го разбера, ако шофиране в къщата на баба си е много по-евтини или по-енергийно ефективни от вземете бърз полет.
Това не винаги е лесно да се разбере най-добрият начин да се придвижвате от точка А до точка Б. Понякога си възможности за пътуване са ясен: като да се пътуване от Ню Йорк до Сан Франциско – тя просто прави повече смисъл да се лети, а не карам кръст-страна . Въпреки това, ако сте като един рейс, че има няколко опции за маршрута, като определя колко време всеки един вариант наистина се е не винаги е толкова ясно, както бихте си помислили.
A fan of the game series – WORMS? Have a N900? You’ve got to try Wormux!
This is a free touch/keyboard-combo game to download and it has all the game play aspects of the original Worms franchise.
But instead of worms, you’ve got [15] teams based on open source software (at least that’s what Wikipedia says ) i.e.. Gnu, Tux, PHP, Firefox, OOo, Spip, Pidgin, Snort, Wilber, Konqi, SuSE and Workrave, Thunderbird, Beastie and Nupik.
If you don’t know what they are, it doesn’t matter (I’m only familiar with half of the teams). Just pretend they’re just random animals.
Below is a short 4 minute video just to demo some of the settings, controls, maps and weapons of Wormux for the N900.
It’s a really good game but it does suffer from random lagging. Sometimes the load takes a while or some animations don’t play out properly – other times it’s fine.
Something to try: it is advisable that you restart your N900 after installation – mine performed slightly better (quicker loading).
Last week I received a Nokia N97 mini review unit from Molly & co at Nokia Blogger Relations! As the name implies, it’s basically the Nokia N97’s little sibling…
It’s smaller & thinner, with less screen (3.2″ vs. 3.5″), less built-in storage (8 GB vs. 32 GB), a better keyboard (same layout as the Nokia N900), a nicer battery cover (stainless steel vs. plastic), no camera lens cover, and no FM transmitter…
Yet despite the reduced specifications, the N97 mini somehow feels like a more solid and more premium device than the N97 – and despite similar versions of S60v5 (with widgets & kinetic scrolling), the N97 mini feels faster and more stable than the N97
I’ll be putting the N97 mini through its paces, but for the time being, take a look at my pictures and video:
BTW, I snapped these pictures with my Samsung T929 (Memoir) in low light on a rainy day – notice the lack of noise. Also, I no longer have an N97, but here is a size comparison.
First launched in September 2009, Nokia Messaging team has released the second beta of Nokia Messaging for Social Networks and guess what? It now supports Twitter as well, making tweeting way more convenient from the homescreen if you are using an N97 or the recently launched N97 Mini.
Apart from Twitter Integration, many other things such as uploading pictures and video, viewing upcoming events on Facebook, importing birthdays to the device’s calendar, searching friends and Click-to-call / click-to-SMS / click-to-FB Email etc has been added.
This is a quick 4 minute video to show the game “Super Tux” on the Nokia N900.
This game uses the N900’s QWERTY keyboard, with arrows for navigation and predefined letters for jump/power/duck.
Now, the N900 doesn’t have a D-pad like the N97, but you can change the controls so you can still have your “D-pad” on the left and other action buttons on the right, like most traditional gamepad controllers.
Some might prefer to use the arrow-buttons on the right others might want to have a reconfigurable d-pad going on in the left. I’m in the latter, and I’m glad Super Tux gives you the option (which I hope would become standard in future games using the keyboard/arrow buttons)
And in general, Super Tux is a fun game that you can download really easily and for free from the App Manager in the N900.
In terms of gaming prowess, the only game at the moment[in the catalogue] to demonstrate what the N900 is capable of is Bounce Evolution.

I am now an owner of a Nokia N97 for about four months and to be honest I’m quite disappointed, as many other N97 users. Since some weeks the touch screen is going from bad to unusable. A few weeks before the major firmware update (V20) the touch screen was already working poorly (sometimes Id touch and nothing would happen or other fewer times I was touching one point and it was selecting another).
Just after the firmware update it didn’t get much better, I was having the same problems besides the scrolling that would sometimes get into a loop or move the entries to out of the screen and make it impossible for me to select anything. I must admit that I have installed a bunch of applications and maybe thats one of the reasons for having a poor response from the phone. But in the other hand, I never heard of any friend that owns an Iphone complaining about the phone after installing applications. I’ll soon try to make factory reset and install everything again, but I really do not want to do this every 3 months…
In what it comes to applications, I haven’t been amazed with the current options, but I guess it is because so far I’m not yet amazed with mobile apps in general (even the ones that some friends that have Iphone have shown me). At the moment I have the following apps installed:
- Spotify for S60: I’m a fan of spotify and I am very happy with their app (except when the N97 itself fails). It is very useful, nice gui. The guys really though about what the user would need of a spotify app.
- Nokia Maps: I wanted to use google maps instead, but I enjoy the compass functionality and the last version of Google Maps for S60 I’ve tried didnt integrate the compass. The nokia maps is quite decent, and it has been greatly improved after the last firmware upgrade. Now it can “correct” misspelled addresses which is extremely useful, moreover the walk to options now seem to be free for use (why did they want to charge for that). Still, the handshake for starting the compass is annoying and I’d prefer to synchronize my points of interest without needing an OVI account. Overall, a mapping application is extremely useful and it is between the top 3 I use most.
- Opera Mini: I have installed both opera mini, opera mobile and the regular nokia browser. Opera Mobile is indeed very powerful but I was often having problems of memory full (though it was the only app open) and I havent used it lately. I have been mainly using Opera Mini which is very fast and very nice (thought selecting my emails in gmail can be quite challenging as the selection box is incredibly small and N97 touch screen is awful). Nokia’s browser doesnt seem bad, but Opera mini is faster, had a google search toolbar and has a nicer look and feel.
- Calendar and e-mail: As I use a lot google calendar and it is possible to synchronize google calendar with N97s calendar, it has been very useful for me. The e-mail with mail for exchange is not bad, but I noticed on moments I was online, that it was not synchronizing with e-mails I have received a few minutes before the synch. By the way, the whole process of installing the mail for exchange and configuring this synchronisms was not so straight forward, but this blog helped me quite a lot.
- Instant messaging: I have used installed and tried both Nimbuz and Fring, but to be honest I dont use that much instant messaging and I haven’t really seen if the applications are good enough.
- Facebook application: either I like or not, I’m a bit facebook addicted and hopefully N97 facebook application is really good. It provides a smart interface to check and reply incoming messages, friends request, wall and status updates.
- Twitter: I have the tweets60 tweeter client for the N97. I heard it is the best free twiter client for S60, but I dont like it that much (I guess thats the price you pay for not paying =D). It is quite slow (even when my N97 was working ok) and I dont like so much the interface.
- Camera: The camera of the device itself is awesome. I’m really happy with the resolution and any effects the camera may apply or correct on the pictures. Moreover, it is quite nice that it allows you to geotag, directly upload to facebook, send by email, etc.
I havent had much interest in other applications I heard about but I’d like a rss feed reader that I can synchronize with google reader. It would be awesome if google could provide an app for that, as the one that the people from nokiapp.com website have done still needs a bunch of UI improvements for my personal taste.
