Batman: Arkham Asylum is the the said to be the best superhero computer game so far. And I can see why. In the game, Batman must fight Joker and his henchmen who have taken over the Arkham Asylum. This is not an easy task since Batman is one of the few superheroes who don’t have superpowers. Instead, he relies on wits, stealth, his excellent martial art skills. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without the utility belt and its plethora of gadgets. There’s the ever-present Batarang, grappling-hook gun, explosive gel gun, Bat-Claw, Ultra Bat-Claw (3 Bat-Claws), and Zip-line Thrower. Using all these in combination is required for your to succeed in the game.
I’ve updated my top S60 applications from its previous incarnation.
- Walking Hotspot – Turns your phone into a wireless router and share your HSDPA signal (if you get one). I found it easier to use than Joikuspot
- Opera Mobile – A niftier mobile browser than even Opera Mini. It is standalone so it requires more memory and processing power. Can match any desktop browser in handling complex websites.
- Fring – reach out and talk to your friend via you can interact with friends on all your favourite social networks Skype, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, ICQ, SIP, Twitter, Yahoo!, AIM, and more!
- YouTube – Watch YouTube videos on your mobile phone. You need a fast network connection though.
- Google Maps – Turns your phone into a navigation device complete with map. It even shows your location with GPS or without (via cell site)! How cool is that?
- Nokia Messaging for Email – You can configure your email to check Ovi Mail, Yahoo Mail, GMail, HotMail, and POP, and IMAP. And you can view your email in HTML glory!
- Google Sync plus Mail for Exchange – allows you to sync your Google contacts and calendar with your phone contacts and calendar. No tasks syncing, unfortunately.
We encountered some text that was breaking at the wrong place in our Flex application. Using didn’t work at all. After a bit of puzzling and searching, we found the answer. Instead of we should use  . It worked!
I needed to quickly roll out a small security framework for an app at work. Since it’s a security framework, it must have at the minimum:
- User Management – add/edit/delete users for administrators and change password for users.
- Authentication – establish identity of a user by getting user credentials typically via a login page.
- Authorization – establish if an authenticated user is allowed access to a resource.
