GSM halfway to world domination
According to the Register - GSM connectivity now enjoyed by 4 billion, 4 billion people (60% of the world population derived from Wolfgram Alpha ) have access to or own a second generation (2G) GSM mobile phone.
Far behind in second place is the third generation (3G) GSM mobile phone used by 0.5 billion people and third is CDMA devices used by just over 0.4 billion people. The other platforms are "duking it out" for the scraps.
I created the image below to summarise the article, as a picture is worth a thousand words.
Capture screens on the Blackberry Bold
Just downloaded CaptureIt 1.4 from www.thetechmogul.com OTA (Over The Air or wirelessly straight to the phone). Installed and removed it 4 times before I figured out from this post -Capture it 1.2 install details at crackberry.com that the key to this working is you have to allow ALL permissions . If you don't, you just get an image that is just a white screen. Otherwise, you get a screen shot of whatever was on the screen at the time. Here's mine of downloaded apps on the Blackberry Bold. 
Publishing on the move
I'm posting this using wordpress for blackberry Beta 0.9.0.149. This is really cool as the focus is totally on content generation real-time. I'll experiment with this to see how it stands up to real use.
Fisheye grants open source license
Where I can, as a way of supporting open source software, I participate in open source projects. It's nice to see commercial companies making a concerted effort to invest and support open source software also.

Following the beautify-your-desktop theme, if you suffer from a cluttered desktop, let's face it who doesn't, and you haven't quite got around to either
a. Replacing windows with an alternative like Emerge Desktop
b. Adding widgets like Yahoo Widgets
this may be what the doctor ordered for all icon junkies.
How about trying out the following prescription, Dexpot 1.4?

Yahoo widgets to beautify your desktop
Need a sight for sore eyes or do you just want to remove the eyesore that is Windows?
I wrote previously about Emerge Desktop as a replacement to the default Windows desktop. I have come across another tool to beautify your desktop, The Yahoo! Widget Engine.
To quote Yahoo:
"The Yahoo! Widget Engine (formerly known as Konfabulator) is a JavaScript runtime engine for Windows and Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Creating them is very easy too."
The Widgets are self-contained packages that provide cool looking functionality for your desktop. I had used Konfabulator previously and just tried the Yahoo! Widget Engine 3.1.4 on Windows 2000 with Service Pack 4.
