Apple’s been getting some heat from the iPhone developer communities around for it’s NDA policy. Developers are legally banned from sharing code, discussing or exhanging tips on coding through forums or email.
I’m quite sure there are hidden scenes all over the net that Apple’s all seeing eye can’t get to but for the general developers this is a major setback.
The FUCKING NDA site is just one example of developers venting out their frustrations. The site tracks “FUCKING NDA” twits. From the numbers of new twits showing up all the time the message is quite obvious that freedom of choice is not something Apple wanted to hand over to it’s loyal users. Sad but true….
Raj Kissu Rajendran from APIT, who is also a Google Summer Of Code participant gets featured in the local papers.
Raj is working on the “BLOB Streaming Support for phpMyAdmin” project which enables the management of streaming content (audio, video) in and out of the MySQL database through phpMyAdmin. keep up with his progress
This is what he had to say about the local OSS scene,
I envision a more innovation-centric industry driven by research and collaboration, especially in open source. The nature of open source is in its shared environment where experts help newbies design and implement efficient code. I think the local ICT industry needs to be more adventurous in R&D (research and development).
OSS in Malaysia is still slow due to the lake of exposure but it’s people like this who help spread the word by contributing great work.
Good job dude!!

KDE 4.1.0
The KDE community released KDE 4.1.0 today. The second release for KDE4.
Boasting new features, new applications and improved eye candy, KDE 4.1 is managing to WOW many. Nothing but good reviews all around the net unlike 4.0.
Plasma now supports multiple panels and allows the resizing of panels like how it was with KDE3.
A new “folder view” plasmoid sees it’s way on to the desktop providing a new way to interact with the desktop. The removal of desktop icons scared many but with the new folder view plasmoid users are able to access any folder they please from the desktop instead of being locked down to the default desktop.
Eye candy. If you have a good software which looked like crap would people want it? I guess not.
KDE 4.1 includes many new improvements to it’s interface. Thinner borders, better transparencies, cleaner interfaces, new themes and plasma now has it’s own theme engine.
Plasma Folder View
From a software standpoint, KDE-PIM is back with Kmail and KOrganizer. Dragon player, the new video player comes default. New games are included, KSystemlog, KSCD CD player, just to mention a few.
However, Amarok 2.0 is still not in 
KDE 4.1 is really looking more like a complete desktop now. KDE 3 users will take sometime to get used to the new interface but eventually they will get there. Can’t say the same about Vista 
Wanna take it for a spin?
