Will Cable TV be phased out soon?!
Cable TV provides a lot of good movies and tv series. But now, we can rent movie and tv series in iTunes and Google Play. Moreover, we can play in our TV via Apple TV or Nexus Q. We play it when we want to watch watch. That sounds more convenient than Cable TV. In addition, we only pay what we need. That may be cheaper than the subscription of Cable TV. Then why do you still need to have Cable TV.
Free SVN Service in the cloud
I have a start up company. I have not much resources and I need to travel sometime. Thus, I need a SVN server in the cloud. Even I am traveling, I still can commit the code to the source control. I need to do the development everywhere. I found a Cloud Source Control Provider, CloudForge. They supports GIT and SVN. Moreover, the first user is free. That sounds suitable for me.
Nexus Q is announced
Besides of Nexus 7, in Google I/O, they announced Nexus Q. That is a kind of entertainment center. It can connect to TV and speakers. It sounds like an Apple TV killer! Well, that has more functions! It can controlled by your Android phone and Tablet. In addition, it can do social streaming. It's cool!
Moreover, I love that sounds quite creative. It is not in a box, Google turns its new product into a Sphere! It looks fresh!
But that is a bit sad, it only can be pre-ordered in U.S. for $299.

Nexus 7 is announced
In Google I/O, they announced their own 7" Tablet,Nexus 7. That sounds fast and light, 4 cores CPU and 370g weight! That will be suitable to be a e-book reader and movie player. The most important feature is it can be carried by one hand!That is easy to carry around!
Moreover,I think it should have the latest version android. It will be available around mid-July in U.S., U.K., Canada and Australia. We,our aussie, can have one! We need to place the order in Google Play for AUD$249. Well, this times, Google Builds it and sells it too! That's cool!

Resource Not Found in Android
I have tried to get a string resource via getResources().getString(R.string.msg_err). Under values/strings.xml. I am 100% sure there is msg_err value. But I still got Resource$NotFoundException. But after I added msg_err1 value in text view mode, that works. I found the problem it cannot get the value if you create key value pair in "Resources" Tab in the string.xml. That is very strange!
