Η Apple επιτρέπει πειρατικό λογισμικό στο App Store ?

Προχτές υπέπεσε στην αντίληψή μου ένα tweet που ανέφερε ότι κάποιο open source λογισμικό έχει εμφανιστεί στο App Store της Apple να πωλείται απο κάποιον “ασχετο”, έναντι κάποιας αμοιβής για την λήψη και εγκατάστασή του σε iPhone, iPod touch και iPad. Στην αρχή απλά διάβασα το blog post που αναφέρει το γεγονός και έπειτα το παρακολούθησα το ζήτημα για 2 μέρες. Τελικά είναι πιο σοβαρό από ότι φάνηκε αρχικά. Η ιστορία έχει ως εξής…

ESET Nod32 Linux

ESET NOD32 Antivirus for Linux Desktop

Dear Android Linux,

Any Linux user will have a ROFLMAO attack and instant brain aneurysm, if a Windows user tells him that Linux needs antivirus protection ! Ha ha ha ha ha LoL LOL !

Whew! … that was close

Any way, apparently the most obvious reason to have an antivirus protection on Linux is when you have or work in a mixed environment. Lets say, you have a Linux PC/Laptop/Netbook for the real life stuff and a Windows PC for gaming that are connected to each other for file sharing.

History repeats itself: IBM vs Apple then, iPhone vs Android now

History, ironically, tends to repeat its self. This may be old news in political, economical or historical events but what happens in Hardware/Software industry ?.

While I was reading some articles on the web about the market share of mobile OS’s today/tomorrow, a “pattern” started to emerge before my eyes. There is something in this pattern that indicates what mobile OS will have the major market share maybe 2 years from now, or sooner. As I predict, near future of mobile phones will belong to Android Linux operating system.

Ok that may have sound like foolish… but please be patient and let me (try) explain what are the historical similarities between the war of IBM-Apple then, and Apple(iOS)-Google(Android) now and how will probably be the end of this fight over the market share pie chart.

2click Update v5.5: Going Lightning with Axel

Android Linux:Εγκατάσταση-συγχρονισμός-αναβάθμιση εφαρμογών από το PC

Το Android Market έχει αγγίξει τις 85.000 εφαρμογές διαθέσιμες για να τις κατεβάσετε από το κινητό σας. Μία από τις μεγαλύτερες αδυναμίες όμως με το Android Market είναι με την αναζήτηση κάποιας εφαρμογής που θέλετε. Σε διάφορα τηλέφωνα, η εύρεση καλών εφαρμογών μπορεί να είναι αρκετά κουραστική και τελικά αποθαρρυντική. Το αποτέλεσμα είναι ο χρήστης να ψάχνει στο αχανές ίντερνετ για διαθέσιμες εφαρμογές αμφίβολου ποιότητας και σκοπού.
