Palm will work with... Microsoft?. Palm turns to Windows Mobile and Microsoft for an upcoming version of the Treo. You betta diversify your bonds! -Wu-Tang. By caesar@arstechnica.com (Ken "Caesar" Fisher). [Ars Technica]
If this turns out to be true, it is the end of PalmSource (or whatever it decides to call itself) and a great triumph for Microsoft. Also, that's my next phone, a Wi-Fi card and my new Skypein number... Sort of heaven.

Other News: Hacking Mac OS X86. "No one knows exactly why OSx86 appears to be running faster on the PCs than the Mac OS does on today's Macs." [MacInTouch]
Beta software is not supposed to run faster than production software. The reality is that we got duped. They, and there are a lot of they and they had accomplices, told us the PowerPC was a better processor. It wasn't. Apple needed it, obviously, to prevent its system from running on standar hardware, forcing Apple to compete in a equal footing. Now, they are trying other tricks. I love the people that say that these system now running on standar PCs and the developer machines that Apple has shipped out is not the same as the final OSx86 and the final machines Apple will release. Well, it either is close enough or Apple is stringing its developer along an useless exercise. People are developing software based on these variables! They can't be too far from what Apple finally releases. The future is very murky...

I am sick and tired of Hotmail. So I am getting rid of it. First, most people think that's my email, so I lose a lot of messages or get them late. I only wanted it to connect to Messenger. Second, Hotmail Staff sent me mail even if I set it up for only receiving email from my contacts. I marked its messages as SPAM to no avail. So, If you want to connect with me through MSN after a month or so, use alfredo@octavio.net. I remind you that that is also my main email (Spam free). If you want to contact me through Yahoo use aoctaviov@yahoo.com, Skype through aoctavio, but if you aim to please me, use AIM of course, over there I am aoctavio@mac.com (Not my email).

Had to reproduce this great post in its entirety. This is what happens when ideologues trumps intelligence. The poor helping the rich in the stupid revolution.
I still can't get over the fact that Venezuela will give cheap
financing for the Uruguayans to buy oil from Venezuela. I am revisiting
this topic because I thought it was a joke the first time I heard it. A
country with 68% poverty and a GDP per capita of $4,000 per year, will
subsidize oil for a country with a GDP per capita of US$ 12,000. Can
that make any sense? Why not ask for the same deal in return? Maybe
Uruguay could send us meat, which they produce a lot of and of very high
quality, under the same financial terms to Venezuela. Would they? Of
course not, they can sell it for full price at the international
markets (or even to Venezuela) and they feel no need to feed poor
Venezuelans in contrast with our President who will subsidize
Uruguayans going to Punta Del Este this summer. They can sure use it, with two star Hotels
at 160 bucks, cheaper gas can ease the pain on those poor Uruguayans
getting a tan at the beach down there during their month-long summer
vacation. Meanwhile the majority of their Venezuelan counterparts are
up here, getting a daily tan as they walk down the barrio, no car, no
public transportation either, for a job that pays a minimum salary
comparable to a night at that Hotel in Punta del Este. Hey! since we
are down there expressing our solidarity, maybe we can buy their crappy
airline too and solve that silly problem for them too. Next stop: Venezuela helps
out Malaysia with its problems. No, No, let's help those people from
Singapore, they really need it! .
