Hi there! I'm a lazy guy. I'm too lazy to burn a DVD and, well, I don't have a DVD drive actually. I'm too lazy to make a bootable USB Flash. And again - I don't have 10 GB Flash (: And I'm very lazy to partition my HDD. But I want to use Windows 8 anyway. Oh, and I forgot to mention, that I hate virtualization. Sounds impossible? Not really.
If you want to install W8DP problem free, read on!

Since Google+ does not have a friendly interface I will publish links to my Android gaming recommendations here. These are the games I personally found interesting. I played them all and enjoyed every minute. There will be no posts about bad games. Enjoy!

iceflow is my new extension for Opera browser. It turns all links on web pages to video services like YouTube into a player opened in place. More info in Russian is available on
Habrahabr.
Currently supported services: YouTube, Vimeo, mpora, PinkBike.
Download iceflow 1.0b3.
P.S. iceflow also removes "Click to use" issue with Flash videos and games. If you don't like iceflow player, but want to solve Flash issue - just disable iceflow player in extension settings.

A well known Acer Liquid community member piter1225 posted
a short article on custom Acer UI and how they respect user choise by allowing to turn off their UI in phone settings.
Manufacturers want their devices to stand out from the crowd and it is understandable. Some of them, like HTC, did a good work on creating great UIs like HTC Sense. But some people like me prefer stock Android experience. And this is why I love my Acer device and Acer in general - they provide choise. It is VERY important in my opinion. This is what Android is all about for me. Take a note HTC, Samsung, LG and others.
By the way, Acer devices are also 100% unlocked. That means you don't need any dirty hacks to exploit ROM protection to be able to put some custom stuff inside your phone - just plug your USB cable and use standard Android tools like you do with everyone's favorite Nexus One. This is also great, because you lower risks of bricking your device and get full freedom for customization.
Way to go Acer! But please, provide us proper kernel sources (: That would make your devices even better!

I want to write some articles on Android usability and my thoughts on UI improvements. Being an active Android user and a fan I see some inefficiencies every day. I hope Google guys will find my articles and implement some of my suggestions. I think that that will improve overall user experience with Android platform.
Today I will start with Android Market. It is one of the most important Android features for me — I use it everyday to search, install and update lots of useful apps and games. Improving it will benefit both users and app developers.
If you have any comments and/or suggestions — feel free to leave a comment. I would also appreciate spreading the word about my articles — that will show how user interface and experience are important to both users and app developers and may influence Google decisions. I do really want Android to become even better and I hope you want it too.
Let's start!

Adobe Wallaby was presented on Adobe MAX conference last year and now it goes into
public Labs release. Wallaby is a Flash to HTML5 converter so now developers have a tool to reuse their Flash code on devices without plugin. Like... um... iPhone (:
Read more about release on
Adobe Blogs and remember - Labs releases are like betas, but they are targeted at developers-alike, not end-users.

There's a
nice story on
Phandroid about Spacetime Studios — creators of
Pocket Legends mobile MMORPG. Their story is that they make more money from Android users then from iOS users even though there is still no in-app payments in Android world. This is rather uncommon as of today. But I think I know the answer - Android lacks high quality games. So such titles (and yes, Pocket Legends are awesome!) are rare. So they do generate a lot of money - people are hungry for hi-end entertainment here.
Thinking about making Android app? Make it REALLY hi-end! Everyone will love it!

At last! Opera guys are bringing us some
HW-accelerated goods! I was waiting for this for almost three years (:
I will test it today in the evening at home, because I have crappy video card at work. The only thing I can say now is that it is VERY SLOW on my NV GF 8400GS. But hey, EVERYTHING 3D IS SLOW HERE (:

Once again I've decided to optimize Opera wallpapers for Android devices and, as always, you can get them from
DeviantART. Click on Download button on the right side. Wallpapers are packed into
7zip archive.
Wallpapers are for the following screen resolutions:
* 480x800 (Nexus, Desire, Liquid, etc)
* 480x854 (Droid and other hi-end Motorolas)
* 320x480 (Hero, c, etc)
* 240x320 (Tatoo, Wildfire, etc)
Enjoy!
