Welcome to my blog. I'm trying to post things whenever I get inspired to write something. Sometimes it's more often, and sometimes not so much. The subject can vary quite a lot, but it tends to be mostly about tech.

I don't have any commenting enabled at the moment, because no one really comments anything except spammers, but if you have any thoughts on anything, feel free to email me at niklas@uplink.fi.

The reason for this is that you can always get AS...

Galaxy Nexus Rant

Tech

Just when I thought I would take a break in my google rants for a while, Google releases Android 4.4 KitKat and promptly announces that they will not be upgrading the Galaxy Nexus to it.

I don't know about you, but in my opinion the lifetime of any phone should be 2 years plus the active marketing...

Some clarifications

Tech

I noticed that my last post about Android might have come of as a little too hostile towards Android and Google.
