Jessica Alba. She'll be included in the new firmware, right??

Ah hah! Alba, as in Albacore, as in Tuna, which is a type of fish, like Sardine, which is the latest version of the HAF, which includes transparency effects such as:

Nice try, Texrat, but we're too smart here for easy puzzles like that.

*cough*

I will answer that one with a definite no.

I promise that I'll be more evasive when I deny the actual clue discovery.

Hmmm. No.

I think it is a nice case for the Nokia N800.
It is eagerly awaited and the one thing were the previous 770 design was superior to the new one.

also the word "case" is ideal for such a hidden clue.

If the case is small and looks good, I will surely buy it!


But I'm hoping for more spectacular hardware upgrade: a new WiMax tablet (But I think 6 month is a bit early for the release of a new tablet), or an external upgrade: how about an external DVB-T tuner ? that would be cool!

It is quite odd that Nokia is so coy about the exact features of upcoming firmware though. It is very much at odds with the rest of the FLOSS community.

But I guess they need their grand unvailing for marketing purposes. It is just annoying since it hinders coordination with third party devs who might want to utilize/know about upcoming infrastructure changes.

Also... Alba refers to the country of Scotland in the Scots Gaelic, Welsh and Irish Gaelic languages.

Scots Gaelic is pronounced Ga-lick unlike Irish Gaelic which is pronounced Gay-lick - both languages are related but sufficiently distinct that they shouldn't be confused with each other and their English names are pronounced differently in accordance with the phonetic spellings of their respective languages, Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig) and Irish Gaelic (Gaeilge).

BBC Alba is the BBC TV & Radio service in Scotland for (Scots) Gaelic speakers.

And here endeth the lesson...

And she is rather fit, I have to admit.
