I'm creating some JQuery examples and I wanted to add a view source link to each HTML page. After a little Googling I found this article on how to do it. But this just loads the page into the current window. I think it would be better if it popped up into a new windows.
Here is the code I created to view the source in a new window.
1:<a href="javascript:void(window.open('view-source:'+document.location,
2:'_blank'))">View Source</a>
I found this blog post on LosTechies.com about unit testing with JQuery. Well worth a look.
Well as you may have guessed from an earlier post, I splurged and got myself an eee PC 1000 last week. If you aren't familiar with the eee, its a line of ultra portable laptops from Asus. The machines generally weigh less than 3 pounds and can cost as little as $350. The more inexpensive models have a very small 7 inch screen, small keyboard, and limited disk storage.
The eee 1000 has a 10 inch screen with a 1024x600 resolution, a 40gig solid state hard drive (SSD), and a fairly good sized keyboard. In addition, the 1000 uses the new very power efficient Intel Atom processor. Although at $670, the 1000 isn't exactly cheap, it is a pretty good price considering what you get (the SSD being a prime example). And its really inexpensive if you compare it to the $1800 starting price of a Macbook Air.
Here are some of my first impressions after a week
Overall I am quite impressed with this little machine. If you are interested in trying an ultra portable, but don't want to mortgage the house, give the eee pc 1000 a look.
I keep reading about the iPhone G3 and how it has a poor signal, etc... I have noted that the phone almost always shows only 1 or 2 bars of signal strength wherever I go. However, when I actually make calls, the actual signal is better.
I really wonder if there are real signal issues or this is merely a perceived problem because the phone doesn't show 5 bars all the time? My advice to Apple would be to just show more bars in there software and I bet that "fixes" the problem. :)
The Andoid 0.9 SDK beta includes:
To take advantage of these features, you need to install the new SDK and upgrade your existing Android applications. The sections below guide you through the process.
With updated Android Emulator
http://code.google.com/android/reference/emulator.html
The Android SDK includes a mobile device emulator -- a virtual mobile device that runs on your computer. The emulator lets you prototype, develop, and test Android applications without using a physical device.
The Android emulator mimics all of the typical hardware and software features of a typical mobile device, except that it can not receive or place actual phone calls. It provides a variety of navigation and control keys, which you can "press" using your mouse or keyboard to generate events for your application. It also provides a screen in which your application is displayed, together with any other Android applications running.
To help you model and test your application, the emulator lets your application use the services of the Android platform to invoke other applications, access the network, play audio and video, store and retrieve data, notify the user, and render graphical transitions and themes.
The emulator also includes a variety of debug capabilities, such as a console from which you can log kernel output, simulate application interrupts (such as arriving SMS messages or phone calls), and simulate latency effects and dropouts on the data channel.
