I just want to say this on the record: Iranians think that they are fighting for the truth and that they are on the right track, BUT they are being played, Khomeini is right. Average iranians are as stupid as average americans, propoganda, mass propoganda
My first application on the android market.
19
Jun
I published my first app on the android market a couple of days ago. The whole experience of android development and publishing has been much different from any other platform i have been involved with earlier. Much easier is the overall conclusion, of the two new mobile platforms i.e. Android and iPhone I believe android is probably more easier to develop for, mostly because of the Java language and their use of much more universal programming approaches, iPhone has good UI development tools but objective c and some other weird things that they introduce takes a little time getting used to. There is just too much hassle involved with iPhone but it is THE platform these days if a developer wants to make serious money, my android app was downloaded more then a 100 times on its first day, and android is not even that popular yet.
Macintosh and Fanboys, a blind faith.

It seems that Apple and its fanboy have blind faith in themselves and every thing that Apple makes, they just dont want to admit that many of the products that they produce are idiotic and that there are many flaws in their environments, in their closed garden models.
For starters the mac keyboards dont have a home or end key, which is frustrating and if you dont admit it then you are just lying. Who came up with the idea of Home and End keys on a keyboard ? was it someone form Microsoft or did it exist before ? having to press two keys to get the action of home key wont cut it.
I never really thought much about the iphone app store and the tight control that apple has over developing applications for iphone or ipod until I applied for the apple developer program and it took too long for them to respond, they didnt reject me but i just got frustrated that I cant even develop an application for myself, for a device which i paid 230 f..ing euros for. So infact apple if they choose so can lock out a particular developer or company from writing applications for iphone, and with iphone market share growing so much i wonder if this is anti competetive behaviour, seeems like what Microsoft did with IE but atleast they didnt stop people from publishing applications for Windows. Apple is getting evil more and more, money makes people evil. Imagine what apple would be like if they had more then 2% of desktop computer market, that is very scary.
So this is a relgion now, apple, a blind faith.
*this is just an experiment to see how many visitors does an apple bashing post attract*
if you were here because of that apple bashing, please relax. go outside and take a walk, go to movies with your girlfriend or what ever, relax. 
I dont care much about apple, microsoft or linux. i use them all.
Frustrated with iPhone, happy with android

I applied to the Apple’s iPhone developer program about a month ago, I did not recieve a reply for about 3 weeks. When they did ask me to send some documents, I had a few questions which again are waiting for a reply. So I told them to cancel my request to join the iPhone developer program. Seems like they dont need any more people writing software for iPhone. I can basically agree with that, so many new apps are coming to the Apple app store every day now, making it pretty easy for an application to fall into oblivion and go un noticed. So seems like I will probably hack my iPod and move to Cydia store.
However android has been a totally different story, first of I just love the android sdk, its so much better/affordable and easier to use, I had to buy a mac mini just to be able to run the iphone sdk ( i might sell it now, with no more plans to target iphone ), unlike iphone I dont have to learn a new language, Objective-C is one of the most idiotic things I have ever seen. Java syntax is easy, eclipse is familiar, the documentation is simple and to the point. Unlike Apple I didnt have to wait for weeks with Google, I got access in just a couple of days ( that too because of weekend ). So seems like my android development days are going to start.
Still the QT port for symbian is taking too much time, and I cant publish apps for Symbian/Nokia Ovi store unless I register a company, lets just hope that Nokia sorts those things out soon.

Benazir in the West.
27
Dec
It has been one year to her death, when she was killed the western media was “shocked” . In the west she is considered as a very good person, who did a lot for Pakistan, and ultimately paid this with her life. Which agains proves that they dont know shit, and that they only like those people who agree with their agendas, this brain washing has been so effective that almost all the common people in West believe like so. Benazir may god bless her soul, but she was not a good leader for Pakistan, she was not a saint and infact under her rule there was a lot of corruption. Pakistan did not deserve to be ruled by her. Pakistan deserves a leader who can rival Salah ud Din.

While the lion was drunk the monkeys took over, and now they think they are kings of a temporary jungle, they feel pity for the lions. The monkeys love the mortal life and are intoxicated in this life.
Translating Facebook to Urdu
24
Dec
So I saw this translation link in Facebook, and to my amazement I found out that Facebook provides excellent tools to translate the core terms. Not only that a lot of people from Pakistan were already acting and helping translate Facebook to urdu. Even though Facebook is not such an important site which needs an urdu translation, but what I am trying to say here is that Facebook provides an excellent interface for translating the content. So technology and making things easy really do make a difference:
Qari Waheed Zafar

Qari Waheed Zafar has such a sweet voice, I remember PTV used to play a lot of his Naats on TV all the time. A simple query on Google will get you all of his Naats. But what you dont get on Google is about him, there is no information about him available on the internet, a search on wikipedia was useless as well. However help came from an unexpected source; Facebook! yes facebook, somebody has created a page about him over there, there is some more information about him there. This link goes there.
If you are reading this and you know about him more, can you please post a comment ?
Here’s a nice play list on youtube.
I have also uploaded my own copy of his naats which are located here: http://www.greensoftware.net/MSA/Qari%20Waheed%20Zafar/
