guidefreitas··on Introducing Bluetooth Mesh Networking
And I still can't use my Bluetooth mouse and headset at same time reliably on the MacBook pro. How can I trust that?
guidefreitas··on WebVR Experiments
It would be awesome to have a Chrome version with GearVR integration.
guidefreitas··on Whereami – Using WiFi signals and machine learning to predict where you are
I did something similar for Android a while ago https://guidefreitas.github.io/programming/osx/docker/2015/0...
guidefreitas··on PlayStation VR Will Arrive in October for $399
That's the release price. I'm sure they will make a bundle or reduce the price after a few months.

Go Microsoft, make Oculus work poorly on Xbox One...

Looks like a Bohemian Sketch alternative. A Windows version would be nice.

When the antena gate happens with iPhone 4 Apple gives bundle cases to their customers, I wonder if this time they will give new pants. :)

guidefreitas··on Introducing our smart contact lens project (for diabetics)
Great. Now your are going to sign up with Google+ to blink.
guidefreitas··on Awesome UI
Yeah, I know that. But I started it with a few images that I had in my computer, so there is no reference. But I will put the source/reference for future images. Thanks
guidefreitas··on Show HN: Save Memory in Google Chrome
Google Chrome should automatically shut down unused tabs and restore them as needed. Pretty much what this plugin does, but in an automatic way. Nobody need 50+ fully activated tabs all the time.
guidefreitas··on QEMU 1.4.0 released with 95% of native IO performance
Does that means Android emulator is going to be usable now?
guidefreitas··on Apple to lose iPhone trademark in Brazil: source
I think that this decision can stop Apple from sell iphones here in Brazil. We pay an huge amount of money for apple products because of government taxes (an iPhone 5 costs the equivalent of U$1.300) and I don't think Apple sells a lot of iphones here to compensate buy the trademark. Sometimes it's cheaper to take a plane and buy it in another country. I understand that Gradiente has the right to fight for the name, after all they registered it first. But they don't have an real competidor and are just use the name to fight with Apple for money (patent troll?). That's wrong and everybody loses.

guidefreitas··on Ask HN: Windows 8 Developer days useful?
The short answer is yes, they are. But are better to devs that aready know the platform and have an app in development. It's not that good to those that are starting from the scratch. If you have doubts about some subject or just want to polish you app you have a good moment 101 with great devs, usually, from MS.
