Nokia Trades Symbian For MeeGo In N-Series Smartphones 184

Posted by timothy on Thursday June 24, 2010 @07:33PM from the unfortunate-name dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Nokia announced that moving forward, MeeGo would be the default operating system in the N series of smartphones (original Reuters report). Symbian will still be used in low-end devices from Nokia, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson. The move to MeeGo is a demonstration of support for the open source mobile OS, but considering the handset user experience hasn't been rolled out and likely won't be rolled out in time for its vague June deadline outlined at MeeGo.com, could the decision be premature?"

Lower Merion School's Report Says IT Dept. Did It, But Didn't Inhale 232

PSandusky writes "A report issued by the Lower Merion School District's chosen law firm blames the district's IT department for the laptop webcam spying scandal. In particular, the report mentions lax IT policies and record-keeping as major problems that enabled the spying. Despite thousands of e-mails and images to the contrary, the report also maintains that no proof exists that anyone in IT viewed images captured by the webcams."

One advantage is that you can use the QT documentation, which is really nice.

And *please* make it run on linux (wine or native). I played the old games with great pleasure, now i am old enough to buy games i really intend to play. Having to get a no-cd patch means no money from me.
Probably wont happen, but one can hope :)
