Polish bulletin board FrazPC last night received a post from developer and writer Marcin-PRV showing that he can successfully run Windows 3.1 simultaneously with Symbian S60 on a Nokia N95.
This feat could not normally be done by the N95's ARM processor, but thanks to an emulator known as DOSBox for Symbian, the ARM chip emulates the x86 architecture...a 486, to be exact, according to Marcin.
If you hurry, you may still be able to find the last Family Pack upgrade editions hanging around retail store shelves, but probably not so much online.
Although there will be an Intel component this month that can compute and plot in parallel, Betanews was told today, it won't be based on Project "Larrabee."
Good Technology today released an iPhone app compatible with its enterprise e-mail solution.
Microsoft, RIM, and Nokia are each working on improved mobile operating systems. But could these efforts add up to too little, too late?
Google today unveiled Goggles, its visual search lab for Android devices that identifies objects by sight.
The game's simple concept and multitude of platforms and puzzles manage to pull off a retro, 8-bit style that's reminiscent of an old Atari game given a modern makeover.
The fact that "A" is for "Apple" was apparently at the heart of browser vendor objections to Microsoft's alternative to listing IE first.
A look at Nokia's plans for the coming years does little to shine up the company's increasingly dull image.
It's always nice to have a backup, but it's even nicer to remember which one is the backup. That's the lesson Bing's admins learned yesterday evening.
If you think you can market your products and services online as though you're selling car batteries in the middle of halftime, think again. And again.
It literally does look like a 360-degree turnaround in Dell's fortunes, as the bells of bad tidings now toll solely for Dell.

"developer and writer Marcin-PRV", eh? Marcin-PRV hasn't done anything that hasn't been done before. People have been installing Windows 3.1 in DOSBox for years.
The big news here is that DOSBox has been ported to S60, something that Marcin-PRV didn't do, but kolijoco. Marcin-PRV didn't write anything, he just did what others already done before, but on a different platform, thanks to kolijoco.
Marcin-PRV is a copycat. kolijoco is a developer.

|What they fail to mention is that minutes after completing the installation of Windows 3.1, Marcin-PRV got a BSOD and has now been on the phone with an outsourced Microsoft tech-support guy for eighteen hours trying find his way out.
And of course the call cost him $59.95

|That last picture looks like Windows 95. Windows 3.1 didn't have a start menu. What's up with that, Tim?

|Whoops! I have a bunch of pics from that guy and I u/l'ed one of the wrong ones...he also showed it almost fully running Windows 95. He said it was about 95% done (how appropriate.)
