Wireless operators want their own open a…

Today, a group of the most prominent wireless operators in the world announced its intent to form an “open app store,” that is capable of vending applications to all mobile phone users.Calling itself the “Wholesale Applications Community,” the group is made up of 24 of the biggest mobile network operators including China Mobile, Deutsche Telekom, Vodafone, NTT DoCoMo, Telefonica, SK Telecom, Sprint, AT&T, Verizon Wireless, and hardware manufacturers LG, Samsung, and Sony Ericsson.The group says it aims to set up the simplest way for developers to publish to the widest range of users and devices, or “scale unparalleled by any application distribution ecosystem in existence today.

“It’s a goal others are trying to reachthe decades-old WORA (Write Once, Run Anywhere) ideal. Adobe, for example announced today that it is bringing its AIR runtime environment to Android, which lets users develop across multiple platforms. But the WAC today said it will utilize mobile widget language JIL (Joint Innovation Lab) and application runtime OMTP BONDI to reach that goal, rather than devise new standards for developers to be able to write once and run anywhere.

JIL is currently in beta and BONDI is only up to version 1.1, but they both have SDKs available for download now.

Hello, I am looking for a program for my department(IT) that will fit our needs as a knowledge base for computer related issues. We do not need a whole suite of helpdesk software, we probably already have it. We are looking for a stand alone, cheap(free) software that will help our team finding common problems and solutions. Do you know of any? Thank you!

We went through this in my IT department a couple of years ago. We decided that a wiki was a superior solution to anything designed specifically as a knowledge base. We went with Dokuwiki ( http://www.dokuwiki.org/dokuwiki ) because Dokuwiki doesn't use a database, everything is flat text files. We made it search-able with a Tomcat server. We have been extremely happy with it ever since. We like it so much that we don't use Word anymore. We write EVERYTHING as a Wiki page.

I would say that you need to get your foot in the door, probably an entry level position. One item that would conern a potential employer is that you haven't worked since December of 2005. Another is 2 of the 3 jobs were only held for 3 months and 6 months. You may want to look into a contract position. They don't usually worry about your work history. It is more of a opportunity for the employer to try you out, then hire if the situation permits. Also as a contractor, you can have a current work history and gain additional skill sets. I would try looking for jobs in your area on Dice.com. This will at least give you some ideas of contract companies. I prefer Robert Half if available in your area. Best Wishes!
