You have been using VirtualBox, but you don’t need it anymore. Or you need free space as I did. Well, in that case you might want to remove VirtualBox from your Mac. Uninstalling is easy, drag-drop-done, right? Yes it is, but it won’t take long for you to figure something is wrong. Eventhough you removed VirtualBox, not much free space you got back. Next thing, you went to VirtualBox Forums and they told you to look for /Library/VirtualBox directory, or look for VDI files. However, damn, you could not find any?!? Well, welcome to the club :)
I had a similar issue and figured out that, after removal, VirtualBox doesn’t erase all files/folders created and also these files and folders are not visible on Finder. What you have to do is simple:
1. Open Terminal
2. Type cd /Users/<user_name>/Library
3. Type ls an see if VirtualBox directory is there (should be)
4. rm -rf VirtualBox
Now you should get the free space you deserve :)
My Macbook hard disk almost got full, so I needed to do some cleaning. I thought there might be huge files that I forgot to erase; therefore wanted to list files bigger than 200MB. Following command worked well, now I have 12GB more space :)

Mobile Summit, Stockholm - 28th October 2008 – Kuneri, the leading Finnish mobile innovation company, today announced the closed beta availability of their groundbreaking product Pikkoo — a social community for anyone to download, create and share rich mobile screensavers and wallpapers for free.
Mobile screensavers and wallpapers are very popular, reaching millions of screens every day; however the technology is very old and does not offer any functionality. Utilizing Adobe Flash Lite and Kuneri technologies, Pikkoo makes personalization and interaction possible, supporting all handsets available today. Using Pikkoo, anyone can easily design their own content, then share it with their friends via popular social utilities like Facebook and MySpace.
“We have been creating innovative enabling mobile technologies for developers. Now it’s time for us to use it for ourselves and show how powerful they can be.” says Ugur Kaner, CEO of the Finnish company. “Pikkoo is not only a novel online platform providing mobile content to end users, but also a unique marketing channel for brands and creative marketers. Imagine your brand in front of a person for more than 20 times a day. That’s what we call high impression.” he continues.
Pikkoo is available on an invitation basis and expected to be publicly available before the end of 2008. Downloading, creating and sharing content is free of charge. With the first release, a selection of widgets such as time, date or battery/signal strength data can be served with the content; followed by RSS and location based data in the following releases. Furthermore, easy content management and distribution channels are available for different platforms starting with Symbian S60.
More information can be found by visiting www.pikkoo.com or contacting Kuneri.

Just back from London Smartphone Show 2008 with a great award in my hand from a jury of Nokia, Samsung, Motorola, Navteq, Orange and Symbian. Instead of pitching SWFPack (as I mentioned before), I pitched Kuneri and our next and the biggest product Pikkoo, which we will be announced soon. Feedback was very positive and am happy we got a success from our first ever meeting with big corporations. Let’s see how second round goes next week.
We are proud to be the company to represent Finland at Pitch to VC Panel event in Mobile Summit 2008 in Stockholm Sweden. That’s going to be a great challenge for us among other competitors such as MoPocket, Cellogic and Kaskado, and in front of a panel of Nexit Ventures, Ventech, Nord Ventures and STING. Will try to repeat our success at SpeedNet in Smartphone show with Pikkoo.
Thanks to Mobility @ Otaniemi, Artur from Technopolis, and Arctic Startup.
I just saw Alessandro’s post about Accuweather Flash Lite application being featured on Forum Nokia Innovation series. Application is innovative and looks sleek, beyond that it utilizes KuneriLite, (check the part with GPS) which makes us proud and happy. We are glad to be driving innovations and experiences further, and enable anyone to create great looking enterprise applications which can be featured by Nokia.
