iPad recenzie

Už aj v naších končinách sa na internete sa objavuje stále viac a viac recenzií na iPad. Ja som si práve dnes pozrel dve. Prvá je od digit.cz (nemusím asi predstavovať nikomu) a druhú na sme.sk.
Myslím si, že Apple je práve o dokonalosti a vyšperkovaní všetkého až do posledného detailu. Nemožem si pomôcť, ale pri recenzii na sme.sk som sa musel pár krát smiať, počul som slová ako internetovať a podobne. Najlepšie urobíte, keď si tie recenzie pozriete a zhodnotíte kvalitu prevedenia a najmä obsahovú stránku veci.

Why The iPad Is Important

Alright, I’ve read the reviews. I’ve the read Cory’s piece about open-ness and closed platforms (and I agree, open is better). I’ve read from the nit-picking details to the high level geekery, and I’m here to say, the iPad is an important device. Of course, some have already heralded it as the inflection point in “tablet” computing, and it is that – but the reason I think it’s important is actually a bit larger.

We got a great response to last week’s frequently asked questions about Google Wave, and decided it’s worth expanding further on the differences between Wave and the current crop of web-based collaboration offerings.

Wave combines features from email, instant messenger, Google Docs, wikis, and forums and throws its own spin on things. For a quick visual of its offerings versus similar tools, check out this feature-by-feature comparison table. Read the rest of this entry »

PS3 Hacked, Exploit Is Now Available for Your Illicit Pleasure

GeoHot, one of the fathers of the iPhone’s jailbreak community, has just released the exploit that’ll unleash all sorts of promising PS3 hackery, just like he promised. We can’t wait for the homebrew and, frankly, piratical features this enables.

From the source:

This is the coveted PS3 exploit, gives full memory access and therefore ring 0 access from OtherOS. Enjoy your hypervisor dumps. This is known to work with version 2.4.2 only, but I imagine it works on all current versions.

You can find it at his page for now—try it out, let us know how it works!

Jolicloud Netbook OS Is a Bit Like Chrome OS with Awesome Desktop Applications

Chrome OS is a promising cloud-based operating system, but the big complaint most people have about it is that Chrome OS is entirely browser-based. New netbook OS Jolicloud is a lot like Chrome OS, but with the addition of killer desktop apps.

Before you even consider Jolicloud, you may want to look at their big list of compatible devices. It’s pretty huge, and I’d also suspect not complete. I’m actually testing it in a virtual machine and it’s working just fine, and it would probably work on a fair amount of other hardware. Read the rest of this entry »
