Triangular Design Manifesto. — Conceptual Devices
Triangular Design Manifesto. — Conceptual Devices: "
00_ Design should not be based on formal principles – but always on an idea of society.
01_ Designed forms represent possible social orders and a lot of their contradictions.
02_ Design is everything. Anything could be designed. Everyone is a designer.
03_ Design allows social innovations. Often it is not made by designers.
04_ Design has not scale. It could be small and have great impact.

06_ Design should engage people and interact with them.
07_ Design is an interdisciplinary applied science.
08_ Design produces visual consciousness.
09_ Design is a triangular manifesto.
10_ Design makes you smile.
11_ This is the top.
12_ Enjoy!"

elliotth's blog: Optimizing JNI array access: "The reason I'm writing this post, though, is because I was misled by the documentation and by my own measurements. If rule #1 of optimization is 'measure', rule #2 is 'know what it is you've measured'."

Android NDK | Android Developers: "The Android NDK is a toolset that lets you embed components that make use of native code in your Android applications.
Android applications run in the Dalvik virtual machine. The NDK allows you to implement parts of your applications using native-code languages such as C and C++. This can provide benefits to certain classes of applications, in the form of reuse of existing code and in some cases increased speed."

You had a great idea for a product. You went and built it in your bedroom. And now it’s available for sale. Hooray! You made it to launch. Only problem: no one noticed.
You missed one minor detail in your mental business plan. You need a targeted, sustainable strategy for bringing prospects to your door. Or in this case, your website. If it’s not both targeted and sustainable you are out of luck."

Wiseandroid.com | Intro to the three Android Audio APIs: "Conclusion: Choosing the right audio API
Here’s a table that might help you find your way between the three audio APIs that you have on Android.
Question If Yes
Do you need low latency, such as in games or sound effects? Use SoundPool; if it’s not flexible enough, use AudioTrack
Do you need to play video that has an audio track? Use MediaPlayer
Do you have a set of short sounds that you expect to play many times? Use SoundPool
Do you need to stream audio from an external source, e.g. HTTP or TCP stream? Try using MediaPlayer; if it doesn’t support your case, use AudioTrack
Do you need to generate audio from scratch, such as by using math formulas / frequency modulation? Use AudioTrack
Do you need to play background music? Use MediaPlayer
Do you need to modify the audio on the fly? Use AudioTrack
This table is far from being complete, but hopefully it could help you choose the right API for your"
