When mobiles become OS independent…….



1.   1. We could but any mobile based from any company with only our specifications and taste
I always liked Motorola’s design and build quality, Sony Ericsson’s UI and Nokia’s persistence, but never got them in one piece. Now I could. I’ll buy a Moto handset, install android OS, keep UX UI theme, and use it like a charm. Any self-willed permutation of ideas would produce new products unique to every hand.

2.    2. We could totally be free from brands and their images and look at mobiles as functional gadgets than just bling bling.

3.    3.We could experiment and then decide what OS is more suited for our phones
Install Symbian, isn’t working for you? Change to iOS, or Blackberry, not that wither huh? There’s always the robot(ANDROID), we can even try out different front ends like BADA or MotoBlur or Touchwiz or HTC Sense or SE’s UX
4.    4.We could install any software and applications as our needs and wants go.
No .sis files, no propriety software. Only source codes or jar files or any file for that matter. Any program app or source code could be compiled and run from our phone with a simple compiler/installer/port application.

5.    5.We could have a nostalgic moment about those old phones which made you do things that made you either extremely mad or happy.

Yeah, I always would remember that RAZR I had in which I could only store 50 songs in iTunes. And play only mp3 under 128kpbs, life rocked then. The Design was unbeatable. I still want the design with new hardware specs and I’d buy it without a second of hesitation.

Mundasupatti - a fun movie

I saw a movie the other day called Mundasupatti, I’m sure you’ve heard of it if you’re in Tamil Nadu. It was funny, they took a simple superstition which is around and made a fun movie out of it. It was a period film, exploring the 70’s of rural India. I was instantly reminded of swades, a great hindi film which again explores the development gap between cities and villages, it goes a bit further to compare development as seen by an Indian NASA engineer and his old house-hold nanny’s village.  While Swades was a serious film about self empowerment and braking society’s rules about casteism and encouraging education, Mundasupatti is just a funny movie about how stupid, people are.  The movie revolves around a village after which the film is named, the people in the village believe that taking a photograph causes people to get sick and die. The movie did a faithful representation of the rural India, with its proud people and crazy traditions which make no sense. People...

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration

Apache Nutch-Solr Integration   As of this writing, I am using Solr 4.8.0 and Nutch 1.8.0 binaries for the integration. Will catch up to later versions as and when my project requires.

For simplicity sake, Ill stick to Linux environment for both as Nutch does not operate in windows natively. Getting Solr to work 1. All you need to for Solr to work are the binaries. you can get them from their  official page  (version 4.8.0) 2. Extract the  solr-4.8.0.zip  in some location. for this tutorial, lets assume that its in  /home/test/Research/solr 4.8.0/ 3. Open terminal, navigate to  /home/test/Research/solr-4.8.0/example/  and execute the following command to start solr server java -jar start.jar  4...
