The iPhone 4S hit’s the negative news again… Long waiting times, short battery
life… and now, annoying ticks and pops during some calls seem to add to the list
of bugs of Apple’s newest coup. It seems as if Apple has to deal with some real
nasty issues concerning design and technics of the iPhone 4S.

When you think of CCTV the first thought is mostly of total control!
In the following video it is the medium to get a rogue taxi driver behind
bars. So what happened? A passenger of a taxi driver stated that he
wants to stop the ride when the taxometer reaches 6 pounds.

Not less than 55 days, 12.255 miles, and over 200’000 pictures later,
a so-called time-lapse video showing a roundtrip from New York (NY)
south to Florida (FL) then west to California (CA) north to Washington (WA) and
then east back to New York has been made up. Travel the USA in 5 minutes!

As I have already posted some videos on lightshows in Dresden and Prague, I was
finally able to witness such an event myself in Bern. The Bundeshaus is the stage.
The 17 minutes presentation shows the history of Switzerland and how the swiss
confederation assembled over the years. Spectacular to see!

When you’re in the USA you’d better avoid filming cops. They don’t want to be
seen on private videos when on duty. And if you’re ignoring this warning, then
the following might happen to you. Although in this case it was a bit hefty that
the filmer, despite asking if filming is okay, got shot with a rubber projectile.

It ain’t a good day for Apple. Today, Charlie Miller has shown another exploit,
that could Apple bring some big problems. The reason: an unobtrusive stock
ticker app. The purpose (besides shoing stock tickers): Getting access to the
inner core applications and files of iDevices. No wonder, Apple striked back!

It seems that this young man has spent much time on his NES/SNES.
Why? Because he’s very good at replaying the tunes of the various games on
his violin. The results are on the one hand funny on the other hand also
amazing. There’s not much to say about it. Enjoy the show!

Well… the MTV Europe Music Award 2011 has been done and the stars have
been awarded. While Hayden Pannetiere, known from “Heroes” has announced
the winners, a desperate fan of her had the glorious idea to rush the stage bare
naked. I still wonder why there was no Security to stop him…

Today I spotted a video that made me think about reptiles again. Well, in Spain
it seems, some snakes prefer the money output slot to hold a rest or something
else they’re doing in there. At least a viper is a poisonous snake and you’d
prefer not to be bitten by such one. Especially not when you’re on vacation.

This video spectacularly shows how to stop bad guys trying to flee the cops
using the historical movie way: Taking off with a plane while a cop car chases
them. However in this case either the pilot did not give enough power to the
engines or the cops simply had a more powerful car. The result: Cops win!

Well… maybe you’ve already read about it or heard of: Apple has just filed for
patents of 3D gestures for a device to be steered with. Today I was astounded
to see that a rather unknown manufacturer of cell phones has released a final
version of a 3D gesture-controlled cell phone. Looks great so far!

I really like tom&Jerry and there’s an episode called “the framed cat”.Long story
shortened: Tom gets framed bx Jerry for destroying goods and got blamed for it.
Getting a boot out of the house he did not know why. In this video three cats are
actors. Watch closely as you might find parallels to the cartoon above.

Weirdstuff you can find on Youtube. In this case it deals with Halloween which
is a rich-celebrated holiday in the USA. Were standard jackolanterns the his-
torical lighting methods for housefronts and far from spectacular, so has LED
become an interesting place there now. The video says more then 1000 words!

So… when checking the web again, I found something really disturbing!
The iPhone 4S is yet really desired and waiting times for Apple’s newest
smartphone is at up to three weeks. One of it’s most advertized features:
Siri! Apple says that Siri is demanding lots of CPU power. True?

Another video today catched my attention. Car drivers know them and they
hate them: Parking meters! Especially when they run out and just in this
moment a traffic warden happens to pass by to give you a ticket. These two
guys in Brooklyn, NY seem not very happy about the ticket. Time to act!

This video shows well why you should double-check objects you plan to put
your bodyweight on as otherwise material-failure could lead to serious
injury. But this guy also wanted to be a show-off to his colleague. In this
case the show-off competition went the wrong way. Serves him right!

I think, Dostojevski would be once more proven right with his provocative
book title “The idiot”. But in this case, two russians couldn’t help it to annoy
a wandering crab. The crab found a way to exact revenge on the one guy
who picked it up. But watch for yourself:

People eat different food on different continents. You probably have heard of
people eating worms, locusts and other rather disgusting “meals”. In this case
it seems that the video channel ownler likes fresh and live food!

Usually, gameshows follow only one motto (at least they do in the western
countries): Win, win, win, win (by solving quizzes, tasks or other stuff).
However in the land of the rising sun, it seems that public humiliation is
ignored when the dough is calling. So seen on YouTube…

This strange video shows that the holder (italian guy according to the italian
license plate) totally misunderstood the usage of a power cleaning hose. Most
of all car holders know, that it is only used to remove very crusty dirt, the
brushes in the washing facility cannot remove. But the interior of the car?

Usually, Boards tend to acoustically notify you about a forecoming collapse.
The following video shows that a shelf, that has worked fine for 31 years, can
instantly collapse without further notice. In that case, more than 6000 wine
bottles crashed and flooded the market with lots of wine.

This really shocking video comes from Foshan, China. In midst of a shopping
strip, a two years old girl is walking on the street. The driver of a small van
however did not see the girl or ignored her for whatever reason. He probably
heard a damped thump and stopped…

I hate grey days. They make me somewhat depressive! So here’s some
video stuff for you to sweeten the week’s start although weather appears to
be grey and cold. That’s autumn! The steps to wintertime aren’t far away any-
more. I am interested to see how much snow this year may come down (if any).

Yesterday, Rosiv has shown me impressive videos of lightshow projected on
landmarks. These lightshows mostly try to integrate into the structure well and
thus add a 3D effect on it. On August 19th and 20th 2011 at Georgentor in
Dresden there was the Intel Visibly Smart Experience Lightshow 3D .

Barkeeping can be a real hard job especially when you’re serving drinks in a
crowded bar and many people are ordering multiple drinks at once. In the
Martini Bar at Constellation hotel, a barkeeper got an idea how to solve the time
issue and “invented” a good way how to serve multiple drinks in one serve!

Turkeys are shy birds… indeed. However one bird, called the “Terrible Tim”
seems to have found a place to live in a domestic environment yet seems to
live the turkey habits such as “pecking-order” and the usual wildlife habits,
turkeys tend to have when in a wildlife areal.

…which old witch, the wicked witch. And so on… Well, the song, originally seen
in Naked Gun 2½, is played by a piano player in a bar where Drebin and his

mentionned title in a real funny way.

Today I checked out another app on my iPhone. The App, called TimeLapse, is
able to do timelapse-picture-based movies. As I had no actual idea what to
image out and have it rendered to a timelapse movie, I today thought, hey, why
not line-up a sunset movie from home. So I put my iPhone on a safe stand.

The news could not be sadder this time! The Apple-Founder and later inven-
tion genius Steve Jobs has passed away on Wednesday. Just one day after the
2011 October keynote where the new iPhone 4S has been published. Now the
reason is clear why Steve Jobs was not on the keynote event or did show up.

There are strange tales around with dancing squids after they’ve been served

You know the old 3.5 inch floppy drives? Rather useless today in the time of
USB sticks, SSD and optical disks. However they can still be used for making
music. Not believable, you think? Then watch the following movie, that shows
how to play the Star Wars Imerpial March melody!

The last day of September is nearing end and quite a lot has happened.
I was able to visit the Oktoberfest 2011, I managed quite a lot tasks at work
and my effort there got honored. The October will also be interesting as I
am about to celebrate my 33rd birthday and a good friend of mine is visiting.
