This is the way to promote!

Everybody who is interested in Android world probably knows about it already, but I’ve decided to write about it as well. Android Markethas big promotion going on right now. It’s 10 days of offers with Premium Appsfor 90% less. In practice all apps are for 0.10 $ each:) And each day you have 10 new apps added! I’ve already bought SwiftKey X Keyboardand Read It Later Pro, and I believe it’s not the end of my shopping spree:)

Now we obviously have Google fanboys!

As LifeHackerhasn’t published my comment, I’m still waiting for verification email to arrive, I’ve decided to write this post. I must admit that I’m a little angry after reading article comparing Office 365 with Google Apps. Actually only one paragraph made me mad, so I would quote it here entirely before I would get to the point: User Experience Google Apps v. Office 365 Feature Showdown: Which Should You Use?

Wired "war" against netbooks continues

Another day and another article against netbooks on wired.com. This time it’s much better than last time, but still. I believe expectations of the author are too big. You’ll never have fool comfort with such small device, and I would definitively not even think of writing a book on netbook. However I believe it’s quite cool to serf the net with it, if your websites have more pictures than text. Other accusation is that keyboard is cramped.

Netbooks May Offer Hackers Private Data Gateway

This is the title of an article from wired.com, which happens to be my favorite magazine. But this particular article is trash for me. Mainly it’s about how netbooks (like Asus EEE PC) are vulnerable for network attacks, because they’re have no security built-in. Author says that most of such computers have no antivirus installed (but how many notebooks or PCs have?) or users are simply turning them off (antivirus apps), because netbooks have too low performance to handle normal apps and antivirus at the same time (what a bullshit).

Science Fiction in USA

I think somebody in US government has lost his mind. The new idea to improve the security in air traffic is to give every passenger Safety Bracelet. It would have built-in GPS (and also a chip with personal information about passenger) and some kind of teaser which would shock him with electricity when he would step out the line. I think it’s crazy and somebody who invented it should be prisoned.

I'm Czech resident now!

It have been a long time since my last post, but there were so many things do deal with… The main news for today is that I’ve became a Czech resident. I’m living in Brno from now and will work here also. I’ll try to write something more as soon as I get some experience in living here. For now take a look at my photos from Uherskie Hradiste (place I’ve spent first night in Czech) and the way to Brno.

New project

I’m happy to announce that I’ve started a new project. New blog. I’ll try to write there more than here, but it would be much more about nothing:) Hope I’ll manage to run this blog for a long time and that I’ll have ideas, thoughts to write about. Enjoy! Edit: Due to lack of time, project has been suspended some time ago.

Jeremy Clarkson robbed!

The famous Jeremy Clarkson (host of the wonderful TV Show - Top Gear) was robbed. Someone has stolen money directly from his bank account and transferred it to the charitable organization. He has given his personal information, address and bank account number, in his show to prove that having only such info hackers can’t do anything with you money. He did that because there was a big case in Britain with loss of about 25 millions of personal information about British, so he wanted to calm people a little.
