Boa tarde a todos.

Gostariamos de agradecer a todos os que passaram pela Farnell no átrio da Torre Norte, durante as X JEEC's. Também é claro, agradecer a toda a organização da JEEC's que foi incansável no apoio e suporte durante os dois dias que estivemos no IST.

Assim que tivermos informações sobre o Kit Arduino, o felizardo será contactado e será colocado um post neste espaço.

Aos finalistas desejamos as maiores felicidades e o êxito e sucesso que obviamente ambicionam ao longo da sua carreira profissional.

Como sempre, estaremos à disposição

It’s never been easier or more affordable to get digital signage. Join us for one of our Friday morning webinars to learn how. We’ll explain how you can take communications to unprecedented levels with attention-getting, real-time messaging—without spending a lot.

You’ll see why more and more companies are using it to:

•  Promote new products and services to visiting customers

•  Improve internal employee communications and boost morale

•  Improve workflows and business processes companywide

•  Eliminate the costs associated with paper-based signage

April 26 - 29, 2010: ESC Silicon Valley

Visit Energy Micro on stand ACC (ARM Connected Community) where you can see the energy friendly ARM Cortex-M3 EFM32 Gecko microcontrollers and development tools during the ESC Silicon Valley 2010.

I attended the Tech Review last week which was hosted by MIT and Cybermedia India, all of topics were talking about the innovation, Lots of MIT professors, Federal Ministry of Education & Research, the Engineering head of some technology giants like Infosys, GE & Yahoo were invited to share the idea how to build the innovation environment in India, how to motivate the people to be more innovative.

Mr. Amit Dayal, Engineering VP of Yahoo India shared his experiences in how to successfully implement “ Yahoo Video” from idea to the real product, It is very impressive he focused the angle the innovator how to use the effective approach to get support and make the idea become the reality, he shared lots of tips on what should prepare and present your idea, how to communicate to get effective support, how to test it.

MIT professors introduced the future Computing System & Digital Imaging, Many core will be a trend to improve the processing capability, in next 5~10 years, maybe your computer has 1000 cores, currently 4~8 core processor has been released by Intel, AMD and RMI, but with the rising of number of processor core, the power consumption, data memory management & OS will face the serious challenge, Mr. Anant Agarwal was very optimistic on those challenges, he suggested to migrate the current muiticore structure from Bus to Mesh topology, reduce the working frequency of processors to reduce the power consumption, he also stated this is new for us, so we think it is so difficult to overcome the programming complexity, Interconnection of Multicore..all of challenges actually are because it is “New”, he believe it is a great opportunity for all of processor companies and OS experts, all of companies are standing at the same point to start, everybody has opportunity to become “Bill Gates”.

You too!

So, my customer wants me to write an iPhone app for their industrial control system.

Well, thats no problem, I'm a registered iPhone developer with published apps.

Trouble is, the customer wants it to appear in the App Store under their own name, but also wants me to 'handle the whole thing'.

Well, the way the app store works this isn't going to happen. For it to appear under their own name as publisher they are going to have to join apple's ADC, enroll in the iPhone developers program, pay an annual fee, sign a bunch of contracts and provide details of their bank accounts. Then they're going to need a Mac to generate their own distribution certificate which their app needs to be signed with. Then they need to set up a 'team' in the developer portal and add me as a developer member.

The customer doesn't have a mac, and doesn't wish to be enrolled in any developer programs - they are a hardware company after all.

But hey, that's just the way it works if you want to publish apps for the world's #1 smartphone.
