Intro is online...

by kai on 15/10/2004

Macromedia put their Intro application online during the last days. It's a great Rich Internet Application (maybe that's one of the best ideas for a RIA I've ever seen) which allows to enter personal details, interests, skills etc. and find other people who share your interest as much as possible.

by kai on 14/10/2004

Bloody hell. Yesterday night I tried to upgrade my Motorola MPx200 smartphone based on Windows Mobile for Smartphones 2002 to the most recent version Windows Mobile for Smartphones 2003.
