I am so glad this is impossible here in Germany. But good to know and look out for if I happen to get a job in the USA.

The reason is that Google has control over the XMPP server. They do not need to send you presence notification if your gtalk client is not in foreground. Just staying online is not the problem. The problem is that usually with XMPP the serv

You can already do that: http://code.google.com/p/live-android/ I tried it with VirtualBox 3.1.6

What makes it even "more worse" is that the app was accepted but the update was rejected.

Neofonie is not the maker of this tablet. They're only making the flash-app to read magazines with it. The designer of the hardware is 4tiitoo. Don't hold your breath it will be available at the earliest in August :-)

>I don't see them deciding to drop cross platform game engines. Would you bet your company on this? The wording of section 3.3.1 could not be more clear on what will be tolerated and what not.

I'd recommend maven and the maven-android-plugin ( http://code.google.com/p/maven-android-plugin/ ) to be IDE-independent. I would recommend an IDE (Eclipse, Netbeans, IntelliJ IDEA) because you then have the advantages a statically typed l

The dev phones are fine unless you want to install "copy-protected" apps. They do not appear in the market if you use a dev-phone. At least not for the ADP1. The reason is that you can easily gain root access and copy "protected" apps off t

My Motorola Milestone (European version of the Droid) actually is user update-able. I did the 2.0.1 and the 2.1 update myself. I had to use Windows and RSD-Lite to do it. I got my 2.1 image from here: http://and-developers.com/motorola_mil

I disagree about Objective-C being a pain. When I was doing osx development. Desktop and iPhone, I liked it. You do not have to use Eclipse at all! I use maven and the community edition of IntelliJ IDEA. But I could also use Netbeans. Or a

I, too recommend the books by Mark Murphy. You can get the uptodate PDFs/mobi/epub versions at commonsware.com. Real books on Android (or any other fast moving technology) tend to be outdated when they reach the bookstore. For the price of

Governments protect companies all over the world. Why shouldn't they protect consumers (or in this case companies against other companies) as well?

If it comes to that, Apple will ban it's use. No biggie. As long as Apple thinks they have no competition to fear they can limit developers as they wish. So let's all hope Android (or any other mobile platform) is very successful. Yes, you

I had three different therapies for my back (exercise machines, acupuncture and something that hammered the muscles so they would relax, does not hurt as much as it sounds but it hurts) they all lasted for a few month. Two Years ago I start

Here in Berlin I use car sharing for that. The next car is as far away as a parking place for my own car would be. It's 1.50€/h plus 0.2€/km. The biggest problem is that I have to put the car back to where I took it.

It seems high but they are not hosting this information on an easily rented server. First they have to anonymize the data but keep it as authentic as possible. Second (and this is directly from one of the operators of WikiLeaks) they have t

I am not sure it will cost them long term, but I hope that they are forced by something (maybe Android) to open up.

I did a hello-world in Scala for Android (without this toolkit) shrinking it with proguard and the apk increased by 800kbyte. Installing on a real device or the emulator is noticeable slower.

Let's hope Adobe is as interested in this device as they should be and help keeping the power consumption as low as possible. I am a bit puzzled about the combination of Android and Air. I did not yet see any device doing both.

The minimum one month notice does not mean you see your desk again, it just means you will be paid at least for one more month (plus what is reached in the settlement). But an employee that really wants to stay can be on payroll for quite s
