Start-ups i Danmark – hvor er de?

Forleden sad jeg til et SCRUM møde med en udvikler fra mit team. Vi sad og snakkede om en feature vi er ved at udvikle til vores applikation, og i den forbindelse kom vi til at tal eom outsourcing af udviklingsopgaver. Jeg har en del erfaring med outsourcing, hvilke jeg gemmer til en anden post. Jeg endte med at spørge min kollega om ikke det ville være svært at skaffe udviklere nok til de opgaver vi har liggende i vores pipeline, og til min overraskelse sagde han nej. Grunden hertil er at hos os får man faktisk lov til at...

Windows Live Messenger Wave 4: Interoperability with Facebook chat

While we may or may not hear about Windows Live Wave 4 at MIX10 this year(we do try to keep our hopes up though!), recently we’ve received a few tips from sources close to Microsoft about the upcoming version of Windows Live Messenger. Some of them confirm several of our speculations we’ve posted before, while some adds to our knowledge of what we haven’t heard of before. Here they are, in summarised form: Det er superliret at man vil kunne benytte Facebook chat igennem Messenger. Jeg har aldrig kunnet lide browser baseret chatklienter, så dette her er super gode nyheder....

Google Street View bryder ikke loven

Kritikken af Google Street View og formodningerne om, at søgegiganten er på kant med loven, slås ned af justitsminister Brian Mikkelsen (K). Google Street View bryder ingen love, men borgere kan have grund til at sagsøge søgegiganten på baggrund af enkelte billeder, lyder det fra ministeren ifølge Jydske Vestkysten. Mediejurist Oluf Jørgensen er en af dem, der har beskrevet den omfattende fotografering af danskernes gader som et kæmpe lovbrud over for comon.dk. Kilde: Sille Wulff Mortensen @ Børsen Der kan man bare se. Der er der sikkert mange der er glade for den udmelding, ikke mindst Google.   Technorati Tags:...

Windows Live Writer – my new favorite program

  I just installed Windows Live Writer on my home computer in order to play around with it and get to know it. I installed on my work notebook the other day, but I have been too busy to really kick the tires. The one great feature I discovered was the abillity to manage two or more Live Spaces from one application. I manage two Spaces, and it is a pain having to log in and out of the various web interfaces. Windows Live Writer takes care of that. All you have to do is enter the url of your...

Speaking of Notebooks

As per my rant from yesterday, I just wanted to share these pictures with you guys. They show a new Asus notebook with the Sideshow panel, which allows you to access certain features from your operating system even though it is closed. Pretty nifty.

Windows Vista and the future of Hardware

I just read this article over at Extreme Tech, dealing with the impact Windows Vista has on hardware vendors. Hopefully hardware companies will take a page out of the Apple playbook and increase their design effort. Now, you can say A LOT of bad things about Apple, but they know how to design really nice looking computers. Personally, I would rather not switch to a Mac, but admittedly, the design parameter makes it mighty tempting sometimes.   That being said, I find it mildly amusing how Apple is so focused on Windows Vista, considering the competitive environment. Apparently, they cannot...
