[en] AdMob now serves AdSense
I was checking my AdMob account this morning and I noticed a new option: Enable AdSense.
This option allows AdMob users to not just publish ads from the AdMob network, but also from Google's AdSense network. After a bit of searching the web for a bit I found that this feature has been announced a while ago on Google Mobile Ads Blog. The feature was supposed to be rolled out gradually.
[en]Android fragmentation
There has been a lot of talk lately in the Android community about the fragmentation of the ecosystem, what people should and shouldn't do, who is to blame. And many people have come quite quickly to point at this and that trying to convince everyone they've found the real cause for device fragmentation. In this post I will try to argue that the biggest cause for Android's ecosystem fragmentation is Android itself through its huge market share capture in so little time and that no one has done anything wrong, it was inevitable and can be dealt with.
[en] Thoughts on fragility
I am no longer a child but I am still in a constant state of awe. There are so many things in this universe that are just plain bigger than me, and I realize that every day. The thing that surprised me these days is how much work people have put throughout the ages into achieving the current state of progress and how much they keep putting in pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
I am amazed at how much work goes into things which seem small and simple such as organizing a conference or running a bar and then I totally speechless when I think of the amount of work and thought that goes into building and managing a big company or developing amazing technologies such as android or .NET.
And then I think of how I am supposed to build on the shoulders of the people before me and face up to the challenge of rising to at leas their level. But then, the entire development of humanity is incremental. We, as a specie, could not have evolved in any way past what we were thousands of years ago without tools, or, more precisely, tools to store, transmit or share knowledge. I remember in of those bad, cyberpunk movies from the Escape from LA and Escape from New York, they had some system that blasted some kind of EMP pulse over the entire world and destroyed every single type of electronic machinery. Basically, it sent people back to the prehistory.
And I'm thinking how fragile the entire progress of the humanity is, how small we all are and how little we need to disappear as a civilization. It's going to be a miracle if it all sticks together until the 24th century...

If you've read my blog, and especially the posts about my travels you know that I'm no stranger to extra security checks as my vibrant personality seems to always activate the alarms. Well, this time it was in the Bilka supermarket just outside Århus.
[en] A more (Mac like) usable Ubuntu
Last week I was playing with the Compiz settings in my Ubuntu 10.04 and I stumbled upon some nice usability settings I didn't knew I could set. So after spending some minutes setting up everything I ended up with something very similar to how Expose works on the Mac OS X.

This is the second post in a series about my summer in Romania, click to read the first part, Getting there or the second being there.
As I said in the previous part of this series, I wasn't feeling very well when I left Arad. That is to say that all the way to Budapest I fell asleep and woke up constantly in order not to have to deal with feeling sick.

You know that feeling when you go away for a while and then come back to your town and look around to see if anything changed? And most of the time nothing has changed, but there is this feeling of change or, rather, outlandish although nothing is changed. Well, it wasn't like that for me, the town looked almost exactly as my memory recollected it, but compared to the memories of myself which I can find on almost every street downtown, it seemed that I had changed...

[ro] Redesign pentru automatele de bilete de tramvai Arad
În recenta mea vizită în Arad am observat că în multe stații de tramvai sunt prezente automate pentru achiziționarea biletelor. Am fost foarte fericit să văd automatele și să număr rapid pe degete avantajele pe care le aduc:
