Nokia PUSH N900 example hacks

January 4, 2010 by webelievedesign

</object>

The N900 is the most powerful device Nokia has ever created, and it’s built with Maemo software – which is completely open source.

What’s great about this is that it means the N900 can be taken apart and rebuilt, or modded into something entirely new – capable of doing things no device has ever done before.

But things like what? Well, that’s exactly what we asked teams of hackers all around the world. In response, we got hundreds of inspiring dreams and visions.

Now we’re down to 5 teams whose visions are becoming a reality. And this site will follow them every step of the way.

Manhattan Declaration: A Call of Christian Conscience

December 16, 2009 by webelievedesign

Christians, when they have lived up to the highest ideals of their faith, have defended the weak and vulnerable and worked tirelessly to protect and strengthen vital institutions of civil society, beginning with the family.

We are Orthodox, Catholic, and evangelical Christians who have united at this hour to reaffirm fundamental truths about justice and the common good, and to call upon our fellow citizens, believers and non-believers alike, to join us in defending them. These truths are:

  1. the sanctity of human life
  2. the dignity of marriage as the conjugal union of husband and wife
  3. the rights of conscience and religious liberty.

Inasmuch as these truths are foundational to human dignity and the well-being of society, they are inviolable and non-negotiable. Because they are increasingly under assault from powerful forces in our culture, we are compelled today to speak out forcefully in their defense, and to commit ourselves to honoring them fully no matter what pressures are brought upon us and our institutions to abandon or compromise them. We make this commitment not as partisans of any political group but as followers of Jesus Christ, the crucified and risen Lord, who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

December 10, 2009 by webelievedesign

Lynsey Weatherspoon is a native of Birmingham AL. Making her debut as a an entrepreneur in the photography industry she entrusted the creation of her Brand to Brickle Thumb LLC. With Lynsey’s mother, Rhonda Weatherspoon, being her first photography teacher, she decided to name her company Protégé Images Photography. It was in dedication to the encouragement that her mom gave throughout the process of making a dream become reality. Brickle Thumb proudly created the Logo for Protege Images, that is now a recognized brand in the wedding industry.

Throughout the past two years Lynsey has managed to learn the basic and advanced techniques of 35mm, medium format, and digital photography. Lynsey’s work has been featured in the Birmingham Weekly, The Birmingham Times, and other local venues. Her success has encouraged her again to redevelop her company image and expand from the wedding market to the corporate world. Focusing on photojournalism throughout the United States, she has a passion to relate to each story that she photographs and tell a story for all to see.

She has returned again to Brickle Thumb LLC. to entrust the creation of “Lynsey Weatherspoon Photography.” The focus will apply more to the corporate industry as this is where the growth in photography has taken her. Lynsey will continue to take on wedding projects, however, she will be focusing more on applying her talents to larger corporate projects.

Larry Langford Birmingham Mayor is Convicted Felon

Birmingham Mayor Larry Langford was found guilty and convicted of multiple counts of bribery in a federal corruption trial in Tuscaloosa on Wednesday. Now a convicted felon, Langford immediately ceases to be mayor due to Alabama law.

Larry Langford, 61, now the former mayor of Birmingham, Alabama, was investigated by the SEC on corruption charges in 2007. In 2008 a lawsuit was filed against Langford for illegally accepting $156,000 in cash and benefits.

On December 1, 2008, Larry Langford was arrested by the FBI on a 101-count indictment alleging conspiracy, bribery, fraud, money laundering, and filing false tax returns in connection with a long-running bribery scheme.

French court convicts Scientology

http://digg.com/world_news/Scientology_Trial_Could_Ban_the_Church_in_France



A French court has convicted the Church of Scientology of fraud, but stopped short of banning the group from operating in France.

Two branches of the group’s operations and several of its leaders in France have been fined.
The case came after complaints from two women, one of whom said she was manipulated into paying more than 20,000 euros (£18,100) in the 1990s.

Unlike the US, France has always refused to recognise Scientology as a religion, arguing that it is a purely commercial operation designed to make as much money as it can at the expense of often vulnerable victims, the BBC’s Emma Jane Kirby reports from Paris.

The Left Wing vs Right Wing World (INFOGRAPHIC)

http://digg.com/political_opinion/The_Left_Wing_vs_Right_Wing_World_INFOGRAPHIC

Of course, the political spectrum is not quite so polarised. Actually, it’s more of a diamond shape, apparently. But this is how it’s mostly presented via the media – left wing vs. right wing, liberal vs. conservative, Labour vs Tory. And perhaps in our minds too…

Apple’s Magic Mouse: one button, multitouch gestures, Bluetooth, four-month battery life

October 20, 2009 by webelievedesign

http://digg.com/apple/Apple_s_Magic_Mouse_yes_it_still_has_one_button

The Magic Mouse has arrived. Hate buttons or moving parts? So does Apple, and nothing exemplifies the company’s march towards a buttonless future more than this “two button” laser mouse, which has one button and no scroll wheel — just a multitouch surface (a hard acrylic) across the top. With the Magic Mouse you’re able to do familiar gestures from the Mac trackpad playbook such as two-finger swipes, but you can also do single-finger horizontal and vertical scrolling. The wireless device boasts a four-month battery life, and will be available today for $69.
