Google Phone rumours

Ohh that it were true! Thee are rumours about a new Google phone coming out in January for only $99, and although pure speculation it makes my mouth water in anticipation.

Gizmodo actually has a good point: Google would be protecting the brand from fragmentation, ensuring that the Android remains fully functional:

Sold without a carrier, software updates for the Nexus One will be in Google’s hands. They will be able to keep it up to date as Android develops, without having to depend on some other company—or companies—not to drop the ball.

The good part would be that, by creating a loss leader such as that, they will be generating a new generation of google users, with complete integration over the phone.

And, quoting reddit: “google just accidentally the whole cell phone industry.”

Getting Ruby to work on Vista64

Trying to get Ruby and Rails to work in Vista64 turned to be an exercise in masochism: All the wikis, blogs, fora and others re contradicting one another, based on what worked in one system and extrapolating to other situations.

Here, I am going to do the same.

Part of the problem is that, after installing all the dependencies with

gem install sqlite3-ruby

there are messages that indicate that as not working:

==== UNSUPPORTED PLATFORM ==================================

The platform ‘i386-mingw32′ is unsupported. Please help the author by
editing the following file to allow your sqlite3 library to be found, and
submitting a patch to qoobaa@gmail.com. Thanks!

C:/Ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/sqlite3-0.0.4/lib/sqlite3/driver/ffi/api.rb
===================================================================

What I did was to go to the mentioned api.rb, and check the offending environment

ffi_lib case RUBY_PLATFORM.downcase
    when /darwin/
        "libsqlite3.dylib"
    when /linux|freebsd|netbsd|openbsd|dragonfly|solaris/
        "libsqlite3.so"
    when /win32/
        "sqlite3.dll"
    else
        abort <<-EOF

and replaced

when /win32/

with

when /i386-mingw32/

I followed tips from emson.

So far this works, but I do fully expect more trouble along the way.
