And there’s ZOOB on his desk next to his monitor. I remember playing with that stuff when I was younger. XD
Sparks creativity in the mind *nod*

I am sooo confused!!!
…
lol, I swear I should have stood in school.
This shit seems so interesting but I have no idea what the hell is going on.
I dont even know what the hell an android is.

Yes, it’s very slow even on dual-core based laptops, when you are on contracts, specially on big projects. It’s creating hundreds of temporary files in project directory, which by people commiting them by mistake. And its completing for you brackets, quotes, even if you don’t need them. I’m kind of person when I know what I type on the keyboard, but using Eclipse, it’s like Word, which is changing everything which you typed. The only things good are java getters or setters and file patching.

Cactuar on the wall! LOL.

I actually agree with you, simply because I find it has an ugly UI, takes too long to boot, and I find NetBeans is more responsive and already does all the task Eclipse is supposed to, only faster, and more customizeable.

honestly, eclipse is alright. i say that because i can do with or without it in linux, and i can develop everything my own way. just my thought about it…

I don’t like Eclipse, it’s sh*tty to develop anything

Who the hell am I to tell what ppl want to dress like? Who do I have to be in order to state what clothes I think match color-wise? What fucking certification do I need to state that this guy would look cooler with a bit more funky hairdo?

I love geeks!
I’m becoming one.
Thx to all of you, and me.
Eclipse! Android. Hmmm. Already feeling the gravitational pull. Put a flash player in it PLS! Eclipse, AS3, Papervision3d, Android.
Damn they’ve got an emulator. Black Hole, i’m in!

How did he associate the Intent object with a call action at 5:35? I can’t get past this step.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall… where is a hot man I can dominate?

People can dress however they want. Who the hell are you to tell how they want to dress like?
By the way, the t-shirt is the android logo.
By Fudgetronic, January 22, 2009 @ 12:06 am
So would it be possible that they come out with the flashplayer on the android? Everyone is bitching how it doesn’t support flash.
By snowballrambo, January 24, 2009 @ 12:06 pm
Dan, seriously, you could look so much better with a decent haircut, and a t-shirt that doesn’t crash with your spaceman-something neon image t-shirt. Are geeks obligated to dress like crap?

Is anyone else worried about this security model? Once the user has granted the rights up front they cannot stop any action the app decides to take. Also, how do external web services trust this application? Since the cert associated with this app is self signed no external party can trust its identity. Do I have to add an onscreen challenge/response to every single call the app makes out to external services? How does mail work? On the iPhone they’ve got a cert that my mail provided trusts.

the appliucations to read your microsoft programs i.e. word outlook powerpoint haven’t been created yet seeing as how microsoft and google are not the same company, what google did was create a base for companies and people alike to create programs ontop of googles base. thats why it is only internet based right now…
