São Paulo sofre com o descaso e o desgoverno de Aquassab e Zé Alagão, só espero que os Paulistanos lembrem destas cenas na próxima eleição.

O vídeo abaixo é desta semana e mostra uma estação de Metrô alagada, ano 2010.

Carros boiando, barcos transitando, pessoas nadando em ruas, é o cotidiano que desejamos?

Aqui um vídeo de Abril de 2009, quase 1 ano atrás, tudo igual, promessas na TV e o Paulistano continua nadando na sujeira.

Até quando você – cidadão – vai aceitar este tipo de desrespeito?

Faço esta pergunta pois eu gosto de São Paulo, estou sempre por lá, seja a trabalho, seja a lazer, é uma cidade fantástica, histórica, acolhedora, tenho certeza que com gente certa atacando os problemas, sem medo, com vontade e muito respeito a população, gente que saiba utilizar os recursos públicos de forma responsável e coerente, a cidade consegue mudar. Só precisam dar o primeiro passo e mandar uma mensagem clara – de repúdio – para estes que dizem que o CAOS não existe.

Foi São Paulo que colocou esses dois políticos no Governo portanto só São Paulo – unida – pode tirar, basta votar certo!

Aproveitando a onda de dispositivos móveis, vale a pena informar que no dia 2010/jan/28 a Mozilla atingiu a maturidade na modalidade móvel de seu principal navegador , comprovando isto com  o lançamento da release 1.0 estável do Firefox Mobile.

E adivinhem qual o primeiro dispositivo a ter suporte ao Firefox Mobile?

Sim é o N900 em sua plataforma Maemo. Para aqueles que tem versões anteriores do tablet da nokia, fiquem tranquilos pois ele também funciona no N810 e N800.

Abaixo trechos retirados do site oficial e blog.

SAN FRANCISCO, US, and LONDON, UK, 4 February, 2010 – The Symbian Foundation today completed the open source release of the source code for the world’s most widely-used smartphone platform. The Symbian platform, which has been developed over more than 10 years and has shipped in more than 330 million devices around the world, is now completely open and the source code is available for free. The transition of this market-leading platform from proprietary code to open source is the largest in software history. The move has been completed four months ahead of schedule and provides the basis for unlimited mobile development based on innovation and openness.

Any individual or organization can now take, use and modify the code for any purpose, whether that be for a mobile device or for something else entirely. This strategic move provides the Symbian ecosystem with greater potential for innovation, faster time-to-market and the opportunity to develop on the platform for free. Symbian’s commitment to openness also includes complete transparency in future plans, including the publication of the platform roadmap and planned features up to and including 2011. Anyone can now influence the roadmap and contribute new features.

Lee Williams, Executive Director of the Symbian Foundation, comments: “The development community is now empowered to shape the future of the mobile industry, and rapid innovation on a global scale will be the result. When the Symbian Foundation was created, we set the target of completing the open source release of the platform by mid-2010 and it’s because of the extraordinary commitment and dedication from our staff and our member companies that we’ve reached it well ahead of schedule.”

IDC Analyst John Delaney remarks: “It’s increasingly important for smartphone platforms to offer developers something unique. The placing into open source of the world’s most widely-used smartphone platform emphatically fits that bill. It will be exciting to see where this takes the industry.”

All 108 packages containing the source code of the Symbian platform can now be downloaded from Symbian’s developer web site (tiny.symbian.org/open), under the terms of the Eclipse Public License and other open source licenses. Also available for download are the complete development kits for creating applications (the Symbian Developer Kit) and mobile devices (the Product Development Kit). These kits are compatible with Symbian^3, the very latest version of the platform, which is now fully open source and will be “feature complete”during Q1 of this year.

No blog oficial da Symbian eles inseriram o vídeo abaixo que fala sobre esse novo momento e o que significa optar por liberar o código.

O Google anuncia a versão 4.0 – estável – do navegador Chrome, esta versão funciona em ambientes Apple e MS, para ambientes GNU/Linux podemos usar o projeto Chromium ainda em fase BETA, porém funcionando bem.

A principal novidade da versão é o suporte à extensões, no momento existem mais de 1.500 disponíveis para serem utilizadas com o Chrome e Chromium. Fora isto temos a sincronização de bookmark – na qual seus dados ficam armazenados no google – e mais recursos da API do HTML5 e do JavaScript foram inseridas e integrados ao navegador.

Eu confesso que tenho usado o Chromium – modalidade open source do projeto chrome – há algum tempo, venho utilizando os pacotes do repositório ppa/mozilla-daily via launchpad. Estou acompanhando a evolução de perto, até o momento posso dizer que estou satisfeito com a estabilidade e velocidade deste navegador.

Enquanto isto o ícone do Mozilla Firefox está ficando com poeira no menu, isso me preocupa.
