Lie to Me

While bedridden, I serendipitously discovered this amazing new TV series — it does not even have enough user ratings yet — starring Tim Roth as a House-esque face-reader.

Surprisingly thoughtful, well-plotted, and with a diverse range of cases. People who find House too preposterous ought to give this one a try — they’re on Hulu.

Nokia acquiring Qt-maker Trolltech

From LWN:

“The acquisition of Trolltech will help Nokia accelerate its cross-platform software strategy for mobile devices and desktop applications, and develop its Internet services business…”

This is an interesting development. Presumably, given Maemo’s an entrenched investment in the GTK+/GNOME toolchain, Nokia will find itself in the same boat as Novell, supporting two directly competing platforms.

Though considering they are also heavily invested in Symbian, hopefully they can manage this properly.. unlike some other tech companies (hello, Compaq!)

Death threats are not cool

Found out from Maírín Duffy’s post that Kathy Sierra, of Creating Passionate Users, have been receiving death threats.

This saddened me greatly, that the Internet’s perceived anonymity is freedom of speech is used as an opportunity for making such hateful, vitriolic (and in this case, illegal) speech.

Having found out about Kathy’s amazing blog not too long ago from Simon Menchaca’s Direct2Dell post on the SXSW conference, I can only hope she won’t be deterred from posting for long.

Kathy, if you’re reading this (Trackback magic!), please don’t give up. Some people just cannot handle your success; precisely why you should not give in. Hopefully they will be cowed by the fact that the police is taking this seriously, and won’t bother you again.
