Is Sony Ericsson really that stupid???
Sony Ericsson’s new Swedish CEO Bert Nordberg has in a interviuv, made some strange statements. It seems that he has not understood anything about today’s mobile market.
That he condemns the Iphone is fully in line with what Sony Ericsson had done since Apple started making mobiles.
“Shall some fuckers to newcomers come here and think they can make better phones than us,” was Sony Ericsson’s statement
But the fact is that lots of buyers choose Iphone infront of Sony Ericsson’s mobile phones, the answer to this, according to SonyEricsson is, that they have younger buyers, this is a weird comment, today we see iPhone-users in virtually all ages.
Further says Bert Nordberg that he does not believe in Apple’s business model. Sales figures should tell their distinctive language on this point. Apple has only made money on their mobile phones since they started, 2007th, Sony Ericsson has not earned any money but instead has made large losses and kick people, since 2007.
Looking forward to another apple product, iTunes, which has sold 7 billion songs, well, same thing can be said here. Sales figures should tell their distinctive language on this point.
But Bert Nordgren says one thing that I think many may agree with, iPhone is technically not as good than many other mobiles. But not all agree with this. I do, and im using iPhone, and as I feel now, I will never change to another mobile operative system.
If the rest of the lead in the Sony Ericsson thinks that Bert Nordberg, and believe that customers think it is so important to be able to change the battery when the phone is old, than they will choose Sony Ericsson instead of Apple. But the last years mobile-market has says different. Then Sony Ericsson can probably count on even more losses, and fired more people.

Microsoft, lost the Web-war against the EU
Are you using Windows and Internet Explorer as the default browser? Then you are probably eligible to vote in the upcoming browser elections kicks off shortly.
In March begin Microsoft sent out an update that allows the user to select the browser again. The update is now being tested internally at Microsoft.
The so-called browser choice is a result of negotiations between Microsoft and the European Commission.
They led to a legally binding agreement which, among other things, alleges that Microsoft will allow all European users of Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7, with IE as default browser, choose the browser again. The company will also make it possible to turn off and on IE.
According to the Commission affected over 100 million users in Europe.
This update contains a new browser window in which the 12 most popular web browsers – including Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari and Opera – are presented in random order, with information on programs from the respective developers. The user can choose to install one or more browsers.
The contents of the browser election and will be updated every six months. Even now you can see how it looks on www.browserchoice.eu.
The update is automatically installed via Windows Update or the user is encouraged to download and install it, depending on what operating system you use. Microsoft said that those who do not have automatic updates enabled browser can get through the election to check for new updates on Windows Update. Companies can make their IT department to take care of the election.
Background:
The commission said that Microsoft, for many years are automatically tied the Internet Explorer browser to Windows. The Commission believes that Microsoft’s dominance is likely to restrict the user’s choice of browser and also hit the company’s competitors and lead to fewer innovative products on the market.
In October 2009 Microsoft promises to implement a number of measures to eliminate the EU Commission believes impede competition. A few months later, those promises are made legally binding for a period of five years.

Adobe Photoshop, 20year
On 10 February, Photoshop went 20 years.
Photoshop is by far the most widely used image editing program.
I started using Photoshop in 1998 when it was in version 5.0 and a lot has happened since then. Today, the programme is in version CS4 and only takes more and more the market share.
I don’t want to have any comments about Gimp, which in all honesty is good, actually very good and it is free.
Photoshop is expensive, today about $ 500. But Gimp still has a very far step to take before it can be compared with Photoshop.

Spanish version of the iPad
This is not my article, it copied straight over from Typically Spanish but I thought it was interesting……….
There is a Spanish version of the Apple iPad which has been developed by Córdoba University. The iFreeTablet is a low cost touch screen device which runs open software.
Carlos de Castro, professor at the University Córdoba, told Público that the project had been set up with public financing and was not intended to make a profit. He said it was not an alternative to the iPad, preferring to describe it as ‘a new way to interact with tactile systems which includes more functions. The professor is himself a Mac user, but also a firm believer in free software. His device runs on the SiESTA system which is Debian GNU/Linux based and thousands of users have collaborated on the creation and modification of the open source code.
The Córdoba device is being made by the Graef company in Jaén, and offers a 10.2 inch screen, a 1.3 megapixel camera, WiFi and a 160 GB hard disk. Its weak point is battery life – just 2.5 hours. It will be distributed over the internet at a price of between 300 and 500 € depending on the configuration.
