Easter egg found in Android 4.0.1 Ice Cream Sandwich

19 Oct

Android Ice Cream Sandwich is finally here and we as most of geeks do went ahead and downloaded the latest SDK just to play with it on our own. After checking all the major things inside the system itself I went to about page, just as I usually do to check all the details and I suddenly recalled the Gingerbread Easter egg that someone found some time ago. To find it, you had to click on the android version number a couple of times and then the scary gingerbread man painting showed up. Without any further ado, I started clicking on version string like crazy and look what showed up. Almost the same one as in Honeycomb! Those sneaky Google devs… ;-)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Google Chrome for Android to be unveiled alongside Ice Cream Sandwich?

16 Oct

Many people wonder why Google still haven’t made the mobile version of their browser – Chrome. The biggest players in the field of web browsers already have android versions of their browsers for long time. Only Google itself is somewhat reluctant to the introduction of its product on its own mobile platform. Recently, there were some first confirmed information posted about ongoing work. My today’s discovery seems to be even more significant. After installing the new, recently leaked Ice Cream Sandwich launcher a google search widget appeared which contains Google Chrome icon. Just take a look on the screenshot above.

What does this mean for us? This may be a sign that Google plans to integrate the Google Chrome browser in the upcoming version of Android or that it will simply be presented during the Samsung and Google event in HongKong next week. Time will tell, however there’s definitely something going on.

Edit.

Later on I found out that my discovery was completely pointless because of the fact, that the launcher I found was just a fan-made piece of code. I’m always pissed when bloggers don’t check their sources before posting and now the same thing happened to me. Well, karma got me…

Why am I excited about Nokia World 2011?

13 Oct

The dust slowly fell on the ground. Finally I had sight of what happened. Putting a shadow on my face, giant silhouette sparkled flamely. It was covered in ash and its armour was heavily damaged. However, its eyes, little triangles of fluid fire, shone. I looked at it amazed. My hero. it saved me from inevitable death of being disintegrated by that robot’s laser gun. Lifesaver told me his name was Deltus and he came here to fight hostile robots infected by deadly virus. They were his brothers, but he had to kill them mercilessly.
A few minutes ago appeared one of the converted robots. He was stronger than others Deltus has met and equipped with powerful weapons. Deltus told me to find a cover quickly. I hid in the nearest building, eager to see, why Deltus is so afraid of the robot that looks just like the others. After the fearful fight, Deltus explained.
- He was one of their leaders. I must go. Here, take this to contact me when I will go back home to fight them.
I waved him good-bye and look at the gift he gave me. It was Nokia Windows Phone, the handheld of hero.
