Offscreen Technologies Ltd
Offscreen Technologies Ltd is developing Offscr® Studio IDE™ which dramatically shortens the time to market in creating high quality applications for Symbian S60 3rd and 5th edition devices.
Offscr® Studio IDE™ is now in the late phase of closed beta testing and will be commercially available later this year.
OpenWrt is described as a Linux distribution for embedded devices.
Instead of trying to create a single, static firmware, OpenWrt provides a fully writable filesystem with package management. This frees you from the application selection and configuration provided by the vendor and allows you to customize the device through the use of packages to suit any application. For developer, OpenWrt is the framework to build an application without having to build a complete firmware around it; for users this means the ability for full customization, to use the device in ways never envisioned.
Might be interesting to test it someday.

Great idea for some people.
Adeona is the first Open Source system for tracking the location of your lost or stolen laptop that does not rely on a proprietary, central service. This means that you can install Adeona on your laptop and go — there's no need to rely on a single third party. What's more, Adeona addresses a critical privacy goal different from existing commercial offerings. It is privacy-preserving. This means that no one besides the owner (or an agent of the owner's choosing) can use Adeona to track a laptop. Unlike other systems, users of Adeona can rest assured that no one can abuse the system in order to track where they use their laptop.
Adeona is designed to use the Open Source OpenDHT distributed storage service to store location updates sent by a small software client installed on an owner's laptop. The client continually monitors the current location of the laptop, gathering information (such as IP addresses and local network topology) that can be used to identify its current location. The client then uses strong cryptographic mechanisms to not only encrypt the location data, but also ensure that the ciphertexts stored within OpenDHT are anonymous and unlinkable. At the same time, it is easy for an owner to retrieve location information.
Might be interesting tool for people who travel lot.
Error messages are useful for finding out what went wrong but after
installation/deployment to website you shouldn't keep displaying error
messages to whole world. It's mostly about security. PHP shouldn't
show specific details or file locations in public error messages but
instead write them to Apache's log file. Still, someone needs to be
monitoring logs from time to time to notice if something is broken…
For more about PHP's error messages go to:
