Hi Vikram,

thx for the tutorial!
I just tried it, and it works very well..

is there any real-world app using assembler code nowadoys?
and in what kind of applications would it make sense to use Assembler (or the NDK in general) instad of Dalvik?

Hi Vikram, I am trying to use the same code as yo...

2012-05-16T03:10:56.745-07:00

Hi Vikram,

I am trying to use the same code as your assembley file (multiple.s)
and trying to include it in my ndk project.

I add the file to my jni folder along and declare the following in my Android.mk file:

LOCAL_SRC_FILES := \
multiple.s \

However, when i try to call the armFunction from any of my pre-existing c++ files,
the compiler is unable to find the defintion of armFunction with error :

"jni/camera-proxy.cpp:249: error: 'armFunction' was not declared in this scope"

You can see the source code of my files here :

Android.mk (http://pastie.org/3919681)
camera-proxy.cpp (http://pastie.org/3919661) - this is where i call armFunction

Hi Sanchit, link farms don't work so well. One or two companies might succeed, but Google actively demotes low quality content, and makes changes to the search rankings to ensure that poor content does not score too highly. People paying for link farms often don't realize that the traffic they get is temporary.

Instead of paying for link farms, I would recommend working on good quality content. That will have the longest-term benefits, both for the business and its customers.

Hey Vikram great content !..Had a question about Google..Why do linkfarms/ sitefarms work so good in boosting the rankings? Is it difficult to track the sites out there that provide bank links for a price ?

2012-03-21T23:53:25.284-07:00

Slaughterhouse-Five was one of the best books I have ever read. It was chaotic,insightful, a bit weird, and at some times relatible. The story line is based on the life and times of Billy Pilgrim. Because Billy experiences his life in random order I was left wondering where and when the story was taking place. However, this helped keep the story interesting, that and the fact that billy was abducted by aliens and put on display in their zoo.Even though the book was chaotic it still contained some literary merit. The purpose of the novel was to right a story about the bombings at Dresden and how terrible they were. I know this because the author told me so, in the first chapter. And while the story was being told the reader was able to get a full dose of the human experience. What I mean when I say this is that nothing was left out.

"An Area of Darkness" is my favorite book. Naipaul's 3 books on India are the finest on India.
India has no thinkers. People who speak about important issues. Why is that? That is what the country has to answer.
There is a nice article from the Guardian newspaper with Naipaul.

"the guardian Pride and prejudice - part one"

He also wrote great novels like "A House for Mr Biswas" and "A Bend in the River."

2012-03-03T21:51:13.125-08:00

I don't think the app store model is evil. I *do* think that it harms creativity: which was the entire thrust of this article. App stores are harmful to truly innovative products since they are designed for today's business models.

I don't mind the 30% cut taken by app stores: it is the restrictions that hurt creativity.

That said, youtube hosts videos, which takes formidable bandwidth. I host videos on Youtube rather than pay for bandwidth myself. If I were to monetize my videos, paying 50% would not be a bad deal. Amazon takes a cut for the service they provide as a market: they have a lot of buyers and sellers, much like eBay. None of these options actively *exclude* competition. You can view many youtube videos elsewhere, you can buy many products on sites other than Amazon.

Taking a cut for a service isn't bad. Excluding others from participating in your market for contrived reasons is bad.

2012-02-27T14:54:28.422-08:00

While I agree that the app store model isn't fair, or rather free, I don't think it is necessarily as evil as you portray.

App owners are paying apple 30% for the distribution they get on iOS. Content owners pay Youtube 50-60% for the distribution they get on the site. Marketers pay SEOs and adwords for the distribution they get on Google. Merchants pay amazon for the online market place distribution it provides. You can view all of the above as bit pushers, or serious drivers of traffic for your business. For everything else, there are always the free alternatives but they only go so far.

When I first saw the title of the article, I was thinking, "Oh great, here's another person that doesn't understand engineering and is going to bash Microsoft .NET". After reading it thoroughly I can see I was wrong and your wanted to understand the mystery behind it. I am an electronic engineer by education for 20 years and a .NET programmer for the better part of 12 years.

After having been out of the engineering field for over 10 years now I was happy to find this Netduino product that would allow me to use my two skills together. I hold patents on several devices, I also have many products and projects in the works over the years. You will find my process is much as you wrote about. My businesses are at my residential address and in many cases I'll register domains before forming a corporation or a product. I even own domains for ideas I never followed through on.

Thank you for a great article, it was an interesting read and also thank you to Chris Walker for the explanation. I've interacted with him on the Netduino forums several time and he is a stand up guy.
