Esperimento HDR – decisamente il jpeg non è un formato adatto all’HDR
It’s a shame! The so long expected upgrade to Eclair (Android 2.1) for HTC Hero, promised for January, then supposed for the end of Febraury, delayed to March and scheduled for end of April, is now supposed partial for June.
To be honest HTC never officially noticed a date, but now It’s clear enough upgrade lack is only a shamed HTC Marketing choice.
Don’t lie, upgrade exists but it’s misterious release is not developer fault, but Marketing guys decided it: Hero, today, costs 300€ (200€ less than some months ago),, why they should offer a free upgrade for a Smartphone which could be improved in a way that makes it comparable with more expensive HTC products?
Don’t say li
es, there’re no correct reasons for upgrade delay, even if allocated resources could be symbolic: First, know-how is present, ’cause HTC has 3 different products with Eclair (Legend, Desire and Evo 4G); Furthermore Hero has no more technologic complexity than other products (i.e. Legend is same hardware with a little bit clock and RAM); Finally, HTC didn’t spend 6 month for designing actual Eclair products.
These are the reasons for HTC lies.
Maybe upgrade will be released when Hero Strocks will be so thin to not attack more expensive HTC product sells, most powerful only in HTC Lies.
I’m wondering why codec hamdling on Fedora is quite complicates. Even if Fedora has adopted integrated system like Totem (for Gnome) or DragonPlayer (for KDE), a lot of useful codecs are missing due to “fight for Opensource” reasons.
Fedora 12, in fact, leaks of such needed audio plugins for famous gstreamer engine. So we need to install it manually by (as root)
yum install gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad-extras gstreamer-plugins-bad-nonfree
If you’re a PlayStatioN3 owner you should be know you’re a Digital Media Player owner, using DLNA standard.
It’s very simple. There’s a DMS (Digital Media Server) for sharing contents and a DMP (Digital Media Player) for control, playing remote contents.
Fedora already has two DLNA enabled software in repos: mediatomb and ushare. Mediatomb has a very useful configuration system based on Web-UI and XML configuration, while ushare (the one I choose) is very simple, being a essentially a command-line tool.
To install it:
yum install ushare
to use it:
ushare -c /path/I/wish/share
Open the service port on Firewall (49152 is default one) and go to PS3-> Video in order to see Ushare item icon to access it.
Ushare is very simple and fast, but If you wanna to share permanently something maybe mediatomb could be better!
You could install it with:
yum install mediatomb
Then look at program’s documentation I linked and enjoy it.
New year, new graphic and new features!
Now Blog support multi-language posts. I used qLanguage wp plugin which chooses languiage according to your web-browser language settings.

KDE 4.3 on my Fedora 12
A quick screenshot taken from my Fedora 12 Constantine Desktop running KDE 4.3 and Opensource ATI R600/R700 Driver.
I use a “Classic” Desktop instead of new KDE4 Dynamic one, with a clean upper panel in Gonme Style.
Actually Nepomuk is disabled (in this KDE version should work fine), but I still have some problem with composite which could work fine with latest 2.6.32 Kernel Release and fixed MesaGL libraries.
I hate Flash so much, but It’s still mandatory in order to access several platform (i.e. youtube, and a lot of Commercial site).
I found this trick about EM64T built-in flash-plugin installing on Fedora 12 Constantine.
Few (easy) step to be performed by root (or using sudo if you prefer!):
- Erase 32bit flash-plugin and nspluginwrapper:
yum erase flash-plugin nspluginwrapper*
- Place yourself to yum’s repository folder and downlad this repo file using curl:
cd /etc/yum.repos.d/
curl -O http://www.dfm.uninsubria.it/compiz/fusion-testing/flashplayer.x86_64/flash.repo
- Import repo’s GPG key:
rpm –import http://www.dfm.uninsubria.it/compiz/fusion-testing/flashplayer.x86_64/RPM-GPG-KEY-leigh123linux
- Now you could install 64bit flash plugin by:
yum install flash-plugin
