Nope its not a Windows Mobile, not Vista not XP not even 98.(click link below for pics and full story) Its Windows 3.1! The OS that made Microsoft what it is today has been ported to run on Symbian OS. How? Via DOSBox, it has been available for quite sometime but only recently have we seen it run on a Nokia N95. Some Polish dude was brave enough to do this. Hmmm makes me jealous, now to find someone who knows Polish so that we can duplicate what he did.

Glen gave me a heads up of this yesterday. Just when you thought that kids will always be kids you'll get hit by surprises like this.(click link below for story)
Alfie Patten is just 13 years old barely in his pubescence but have conceived a child with 15 year old Chantelle Steadman. This has caused an uproar worldwide especially the question of whether little Alfie is indeed the father of Maisie Roxanne.
Sister Talks
According to Alfie's step sister: “If it wasn’t for him, Alfie wouldn’t be in this situation. When Dad left it tore the family to pieces." (This in reference to the departure of their father for a 19-year-old friend of his stepdaughter)
"He’s good around kids and he always used to try and help out." She also said in a positive light.
Well as long as they be responsible parents and be a positive role model to their baby I'm all for it(if the story is indeed true).

The original Omnia was a beacon of multi-media goodness, would the additional HD on its new sibling dethrone the Apple Iphone. This time, good old Samsung is ditching Windows Mobile for the unproven Symbian Series 60 5th Edition(I'm pretty sure that the problems related to the OS would be resolved by a firmware upgrade.) If you don't mind not experiencing the brand spanking new Windows Mobile 6.5 then the Omnia HD would be a perfect phone for you. Why? because the monster can play 720p videos(hence the HD name!). For a look on how the phone looks and runs watch the video above.

Who does not love the Simpsons? If you don't I hate you man! The animated series has been going for more 20 or so years now and it does not show signs of faltering. To go with the changing times(and the mandated change to digital signals) the show is now on high def! To blend with high def, the opening sequence has been changed and it was a great change. They have added and updated the characters shown in the sequence from the Comic Book Guy to Apu's octuplets. This has been a welcome change for the Simpsons fan in all of us(most of it is just me, heck I even bought the Simpson's album during the 90s).
Hey guys! Which is better the new Devastator or the old one? Although the old one looks sleek and intimidating the new one is just plain scary. Remember the Transformers 2 trailer where Optimus was fighting a huge Decepticon? Now imagine if him and 4 of his friends merge into a freak of All Spark. You will get a gorilla like creature capable of mass destruction. Watch out for the fugly Devastator in the up coming Transformers 2 Revenge of The Fallen.

Google has released the new Google Earth 5.0 and boy it features a whole lot of features. Historic imagery allows you to see a place as it was back in the "day". You can also view ocean layers and follow Jacques Cousteau's footsteps. Nerd or not we can all really appreciate the all new Google Earth 5.0. I see no reason why anyone won't download this(heck I'm downloading it now!). The best reason to download it: Its Free!
A few months ago I have posted an article related to the upcoming movie(link). Now the people behind Transformers 2 Revenge of The Fallen have released a trailer to the new movie. The movie looks great I hope it is good enough to watch(heck I'll watch it even if it sucks).
