Microsoft Delivers Silverlight 1.0, Extends Support to Linux

REDMOND, Wash. – Sept. 4, 2007 – Microsoft Corp. today released to the Web (RTW) Silverlight 1.0, a cross-browser, cross-platform plug-in for delivering richer user experiences on the Web. In addition, Microsoft will work with Novell Inc. to deliver Silverlight support for Linux, called Moonlight, and based on the project started on mono-project.com.

Got the Canon Digital IXUS 860 IS (Black) from Comex 2007 for $669. The silver version is only coming in September 2007.

Freebies:

I have scanned the data sheet specifications for Nokia N95 8GB, N81, 5310 XpressMusic and 5610 XpressMusic which is included in the press kit.

After reading through the specifications, I realized that N81 will come in 2 flavors, 1 with MicroSD memory and the other with 8GB internal memory (non-expandable).

I managed to get 3 videos from Dinesh that are played during the press conference and uploaded it to YouTube with permission from him of course.

The video came encoded in MPEG2 codec and I compressed it using DivX in order to meet the 100MB limit that YouTube has.

The second and last day for the Nokia: Go Play was held in The Oriental Singapore, ballroom 1.

As usual there was an introductory speech followed by 2 panel discussions:

I was almost late for the opening speech as I expected it would be delayed till about 5.30pm, but it started on the dot at 5.15pm as stated on the agenda.

The programs for the night are split into 3 major parts, the speech, the live demo of phones followed by dinner.

Always wanted to try out creating a Facebook Application and finally took a little bit of time of and created a simple Facebook App called GaMerz.WordPress.

The application simply displays my live site traffic (users online) and the latest post for my GaMerZ.WordPress blog. The file is placed in the WordPress plugins folder but it does not need to get activated. If anybody wants the source code, just drop me an email.

Anime distributor Odex has roped in a Silicon Valley-based former hacker to appeal against a court’s decision.
