Gallery 3

gallery2 reminds me of xaraya: too complex, trying to please too many constituencies. i hope they get it right with 3, i am tired of debugging gallery.

GMock

nice

Today, we are excited to release Google C++ Mocking Framework (Google Mock for short) under the new BSD license. When used with Google Test, it lets you easily create and use mock objects in C++ tests and rapid prototypes. If you aren’t sure what mocks are or why you’ll need them, our Why Google Mock? article will help explain why this is so exciting, and the Testing on the Toilet episode posted nearby on this blog gives a more light-hearted overview. In short, this technique can greatly improve the design and testability of software systems, as shown in this OOPSLA paper.

Rooting Android

I hacked my camera’s firmware manually by using an exploit to cause it to execute arbitrary code – and then blinking out the entire firmware in 0’s and 1’s on the autofocus LED – read in by a photo transistor attached to a sound cable plugged into my microphone port – and then put back into 0’s and 1’s… Then disassembled the ARM9 code in it and worked on porting CHDK to it… I’m pretty sure having a whole OS at my disposal should make this a lot easier

Google XML Pages

Darwin@Home

Darwin@Home aims to bring the process of evolution into your computer at home so that you can see it working. From the initial projects to evolve locomotion it is now moving towards a more generic framework for evolution in general.

Opensourcing Maps API Tests

We’ve open sourced our integration tests and are now ready to accept contributions.

pamelafox++ for pushing this through. i hope it has some good uptake.
