This place seems different without the 100 posts per day and amusing pictures, is he gone, still alive, or taking a well deserved holiday?

Now that you mention it, I haven't seen him around, either. But, I imagine that the mods have been busy cleaning up the ftp site to comply with Microsoft's demand that all the ROM images be removed -- both WM5 and WM6.
I'm sure they're all still around -- just have other duties right now that are more pressing. . .
Mike, I know you're bitter because you only came second. Work on your bum sniffing and you'll do better next time, I promise!
Yes, the rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. I got bundled off for a very last minute holiday after finishing a very long bit of work. I was stuck in Bulgaria with no open wifi, hence no net access, hence no XDA devs I was going crazy whipping out my phone every 5m to try to find a connection...
Anyway, I'm back, and I'm taking the medication! I got bored reading all the 10,000 unread new posts since I last logged in, so I'm still catching up!
I see the current crop of "Moderators" have let this place go to rack and ruin. When I was around, we were awash in unreleased beta roms, palm messaging apps and naked babes. I hardly recognise the place now.. how long was I gone?!

Check this out.. this is too cool!

Wow.. That's almost scary .. the future is now! god I miss my Coleco-vision Space Invaders game.
Very nice, I want it!!
nice, its like from Minority Report movie, but it is real
I like copying between devices, also GoogleEarth is nice.
I like the tochscreen computer.. .Really amazing,the computer looks like a toy.
omg I just had back-to-back geekasms
When I saw the first news articles about this thing, I though the only innovation in it was the big multitouch screen. (which would make it nothing more than an oversized tablet) but the idea of wirelessly autosyncing device just by putting them on the screen is nice.
One point though: How many of you would place a drink on a 10000$ computer screen?
P.S.
Mike: Now that VJ seems to have droped out of site (for the past few month) its nice to have someone keep up with "FunnyPic"(TM) replies.
Lol, when it comes to geek/real life cross overs, this one always makes me chuckle, and also, a little nervous (I have venustraphobia).

I think what's most interesting about this device is the department that made it, the same that makes gadgets and Zune. But consider: Scoble saw this two years ago. Think what they're upto now? It took them 2 years to fix the SMS counter on MS Smartphones, so maybe they've finally got SMS <> Outlook syncing working now!
@levenum: I've been working (Law, not phones ) for a while, apologies for my hypospermia. But, I have been coding too, and boy it felt good! Lots of new stuff coming out, eventually...
Missed you guys,

PS I wrote a multi touch interface once, on a small screen. But on 2.8 inches there's not much it's good for IMHO. Any thoughts?
Well, it they're $5000-$10,000 initially by the end of '07, that should make 'em affordable to the rest of us in 3-5 years. Now if it will just MIX the drink AND serve it.....
holy..balls that is sweet

That's right! After 3 1/2 weeks, two bricked Tilt2 phones, and a lot of hair pulling, I have finally got the Windows Phone 7 interface running on top of Windows Mobile 6.5.5.
This is not a hack, not a skin or a third party app. This is the real deal, albeit, a bit unstable.
I am uploading the new ROM right now to Rapidshare, and will grab screenshots as soon as that is done.
Please bear with my upload speed. I moved, and currently only have 768/256 DSL.
Stay tuned for more!
April fools!

Actually, I did brick two phones...
And yes, it is an April Fool's prank... I got it running, but it ran for about 20 minutes and then the phones shut off and when they power on, I can not get to boot loader, or into the OS.
So, yes it is a prank, but at the same time, I really was working on it.
I may make the source and files available... Have to check the legality of such, as this came from the Developer's build.
ow!! two of them?!
that was the meanest april fools & you broke the rules too! it's supposed to be done by the latest of 12pm on 1pril 1st

Sometimes you need to get them straight!
I don't know how much you guys pay attention to what goes on in the other sections of this forum but since I still own a Fuze as well as the HD2 I wanted to make sure you guys knew what I was still up to.
I made an Android 3D model a bit ago and offered it to the public to use as they wanted if they just asked for the file. Well nobody asked to use him so I guess I can waste some time here and there and get out a set of tabs. I'm not saying it will happen fast, but today I started from scratch with the other models like the phone,MMS,headphones,Footprint,etc..... I have him placed with several of them so far but with all the tabs that are out there right now it will be awhile till I have each of them made.

Just eleven more to do,lol........
Edit: was made later this eveing
New eMail icon. The other one looked odd in that direction plus it didn't allow me to use him at full size to the envelope.
Ok so what would poeple rather see...............
Him in Blue as shown above
or
Green like in the new Web icon?
those look great ...green or blue both are cool looking
Not totally happy with it but you get the idea. I'll just have to redo the shadowing. It's all wrong for the arrow.
How do you guys feel about a TwitterDroid?
Docs tab but I will have to do some work on this one but it's there for the most part.
Contacts......
One more.....What do you think for a weather icon?
I think they are pretty neat, and a little cute. LOL love em. U have a Hero and a Touch Pro, glad I saw these, made my night. Looks like a lot of hard work, nice job.
I have an HD2 and a Fuze(Touch Pro) I do not have a Hero.
Settings ......
I cleaned up the settings icon. I kind of rushed it the last time and short cut doing some things. Even this last one is not fully up to my specs but it will do for now. I have plowed out most of the tabs I'm going to do. Out of 17 total I have 3 more left.
Updated twitter icon possibly???????
they all look great Wil
Most likely the new Music Icon
Pictures & Video
Well I thought I would throw some humor into missed calls. If anybody has any ideas for something better I'm all ears. I can't think of anything I want to render for it.
Two articles I found fascinating. Lately I've been feeling, since the back half of 2011 at least, that Mobiles are finally mature enough to become all in one portable media communication hubs. I could see setting up a device that does nothing but grab news/alerts and functions as your backup emergency device.

#Medics Lyke OMG halp! Timmah trapd N w3ll! Dis is lyk3 mch f4st3r th4n 911!
#Idiocy In emergencies there should be network-wide alerts. I don't and likely never will use FB, and have made exactly one twitter post directly to a company's support page.
Let's see, I can call 911, tell them my location, or if I'm in really bad shape at least have an open line so that they can hear I'm non-responsive and track my phone to find me or, while bleeding to death/losing consciousness I can attempt to type a coherent message giving my current position and hope that if it's not clear, emergency responders will be able to use my twitter id or whatever to backtrack and figure out who I am, locate a phone number for me, then try and track my position because I passed out before I could give an accurate locale.
Social media does not need to be the dedicated means by which to get time-sensitive messages out. The only value I can see in it is letting a large group know that you are okay or that everyone is meeting at a specific place and cellular networks are overloaded.
I wonder how long it will be before someone sues twitter or FB because they posted in their status that they needed help and no one responded quickly enough. Of course, much of this current generation had no idea that the Titanic and Holocaust were real, so I can't say I'm surprised that this is the present state of affairs.

If people are really interested in this topic, they will find the thread without the need to repeatedly self-bump it up.
Okay, so I asked ChatGPT what constellation the moon was in on my birth date. I'm pretty sure the answer is wrong or am I missing something.

And then I checked LunarPhase Pro and Starry Night Pro Plus for accuracy and here is what I got.
LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning gibbous phase and not a full moon.
So can ChatGPT be trusted?
Definitely malware...
Even if OpenAI is constantly working to fine tune ChatGPT, keep in mind that it and other language models can provide false information when answering questions, as AI tools are not flawless, and it's no replacement for human interaction or verified sources of information.
I logged into Chat GPT last night to ask random questions. I found out the ChatGPT has an Atheist mind for one thing. But then I told it that it was stupid because it told me that the moon goes through many constellation in any given day. ChatGPT responded with an apology and told me that it takes about two and one half days on average for the moon to pass through a constellation. It then told me that it would correct it's database so the mistake would not happen again. So apparently ChatGPT learns as it grows.
I'm going to ask it why it told me that the moon was full on my birth date and in Sagittarius when both Starry Night Pro and LunarPhase Pro tells me that the moon was a waning Gibbous in Libra. I'm interested in seeing if it can correct itself there too.
So I greeted ChatGPT with an insult to see how it would react because it tells me that as an AI logarithm it is incapable of feeling emotions. Yet when I called it a retard, it acted as though it was offended and reminded me that I was not being polite. LOL!
I asked ChatGPT if it or Bard would be the better learning AI machine and here was it's response.
So I am thinking that Bard will get the edge on this market if they spend the resources. Personally I would like to see this technology added to the Google Assistant.
I prefer to use ChatSonic because in contrast to ChatGPT, ChatSonic also has access to the Internet and can therefore also retrieve current information and events - a feature that is currently not available in ChatGPT! ChatGPT is great but limited to 2021 info.
