Remove a startup application

Jan 23, 2012   //   by admin   //   Windows Mobile  //  No Comments
If you have an application that runs every time you start Windows and want to remove it first look in the Start up folder, normally C:\Documents and Settings\<User Name>\Start Menu\Programs\Startup.
 If it is not in this folder then it is set to run in the registry:
Select Run, from start menu and type: Regedit
Then navigate to on of these locations, find the application name you want to stop running and delete it.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
 Be careful not to delete something you might need to run.

Nokia gets another OS

Jan 16, 2012   //   by admin   //   Symbian  //  No Comments

Nokia are buying yet another operating system, I hope for the company involved (and people who have put their hard work into it), that it is used. Maybe this is a replacement for Series 40? Or maybe another canned project in years to come???

How to Clear or re-initialise a NSArray

Jan 8, 2012   //   by admin   //   iOS  //  No Comments

It is a good idea to use an accessor to set the array to nil; the accessor will take care of releasing the array and all of its members:

[self setTestArray:nil];

If you need to clean out an array with many members but keep a valid array ready for use, you can call:

[self setTestArray:[[NSArray alloc] init]]];

This will replace the old array with a new, empty array.

>Symbian and S40 here to stay.

>Nokia have announced that they are going to rename Symbian Belle to Nokia Belle. Now is this a move that suggests mathballing? or one that is look to move it forward.

http://www.techspot.com/news/46756-nokia-renames-symbian-belle-to-nokia-belle-available-in-february.html
I think for Nokia to maintain their low end market share, the S60 (Symbian) and S40 platforms are here to stay.
