Windows XP runs on iPhone with Citrix!
Here’s a cool news that you can run Windows XP remotely on an iPhone. Which doesn’t surprise me since that’d be a good way to check up on your home computer while traveling. The funny thing is it uses “unix” app to do that, meaning there’s Unix underlying the whole thing so if Windows gives you a blue death screen, you will still be okay.
Windows XP, seen below running on the iPhone, was loaded using Citrix’s thin client desktop software XenDesktop. Using the Citrix ICA client — a UNIX application that allows devices to access Windows sessions on a Citrix server — the presenter was able to run Windows on the iPhone via Wi-Fi.

Concept Car for In-car Navigation Diabetes Monitoring System!
Car manufacturers have not taken advantage of the in-car navigation system, which can do far more than give directions to people who can’t drive by feel but here’s a good concept for a diabetes monitoring system.
Heck, you could put a whole operating system in there if it isn’t there already.
With Medtronic’s “M-Powered Concept Car,” drivers can get blood glucose readings through the dashboard.
Android Application Store?
As they say, “nothing is really free”, especially anything from Google.
Hey, they gotta make money one way or another. It’s just as simple as that.
According to Android project leader, Andy Rubin, Google might offer an application store–similar to one for the iPhone–for its Android mobile operating system sometime in the near future.

OLPC has joined Microsoft XP!
OLPC has just announced that they will be using Microsoft XP operating system on their $100 laptops. This is ridiculous and does go completely against their original core values.
They have lost faith from me at least, teaming up with Microsoft is the worst decision they could make, especially if their core values were about not using proprietary monopolized technology.
Their excuse is that they are not selling enough units and some countries are requiring Windows platform.
Screw them, focus on your core value.
What is it like?
It’s like an eco-friendly company who just signed up with a lumber company just so they can sell more of the recycled boxes…
These guys are probably in it for the money now more than they are trying to help people.
I might be harsh here but if they keep this up, we might as well call them scammers.
Microsoft has joined forces with the developers of the “$100 laptop” to make Windows available on the machines.
The move was prompted by countries which demanded the operating system before placing an order.
Trials of laptops loaded with Windows will begin in “four to five” countries from June, the organisations said.
The founder of One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), which developed the machines, denied the move was a “desperate new measure” to secure more orders.
By the way, this article is wrong too, the founder has “left” the company after the company’s decision to join Microsoft. Go Walter, you rulez!
