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 .

Although The one day was real short for a tour thru Bern, I decided to show Rosiv
some places I really like about Bern. So our tour mostly went thru the old town of
Bern. Starting at Zytglogge walking down to the Münster then going on to the
Bärengraben. Later we went down to the Matte (a borough of Bern) to the Aare.

October 14th, Munich 5a.m. – What’s so special about this time and date?
Well, Rosiv is waiting for getting his hands on the new iPhone 4S and decided to
get in the waiting line at this time that grew until Rosengraben which means
approx 100 metres of people! (300 upon a blog entry). YIKES!

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!

When browsing on Wikipedia and reading an article on Palto Alto, CA, I also
stumbled over Logitech who have a headquarter in Palo Alto. So I thought,
hey, why not read about Logitech once in a while. During my reading I noticed,
that in Japan, Loitech seems to be “Logicool” and thought of a plagiarism.

Okay, it’s well-known that Apple has released the iOS5 update today. I hooked
my iPhone to my laptop as well and wanted to apply the update. Nothing special
you think because Apple=Plug it in, switch on and you’re done! Sounds nice but
ain’t always the truth. So here’s my update-odyssey of my iPhone 4 to iOS5…

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.

Nothing special, you may say? I agree with you in most times. You see them almost on
every fair, even at parties they appear more and more. So why this blog entry then if
they’re not so special? Since these gingerbread-hearts get manufactured by machine
more and more, all that has to be done, is the sugar-frame and inscript to be applied to it.

Impossible, you say? Well, seems not. In Switzerland at higher exposed locations, the
temperatures have dropped below zero. Snow fell down under 1000 metres and in some
locations, the fresh snow amount was 70 cm and up. A cold wave from the north brought
polar air to the south over Europe and temperatures have dropped by 15 to 25 °C.

While reading on my favourite news portal again I found something stunning but
also funny. Radar posts. Hated by all car and motorcycle drivers as they mean
only one thing: Loss of money again. In the following image, the police of
Neuchâtel would probably have gaped when they analyzed the pictures shot!

Ouch! This really hurts! Seems as if Samsung now reacts on Apple’s denial to
Samsung’s offer to agree in the lawsuit iPad2 vs Galaxy Tab 10.1
Samsung now tries to stop the sale of the new iPhone 4S unfurled yesterday.
Should Samsung be successful, it could hurt Apple a lot! Target: Christmas sale

Okay, Mozilla Firefox is currently known to be the second Google Chrome
concerning release speed of major releases… While I have just posted that
Firefox 7 is released and 8 is currently in beta status, Mozilla seems to work
on the next version also. The new things? Tablet support! Sounds great!

There are strange tales around with dancing squids after they’ve been served
and frog legs that still tend to move even without body. Unbelievable? I also
thought, that’s total bullsh*t until I saw the following video!
WARNING: People with sensible stomach should not view this!

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!

It seems, the newer phones from this taiwanese manufacturer seem to suffer
from an immense security leak that allows spying on your personal data you

…just kidding! This man is simply the best chess player in the world. But why
this bumptious title then? Well… you know I try to beat the AI on my chess
game on the iPhone with the highest number of queens on the checkerboard
ever possible (it’s nine btw.) – Till yesterday I managed to get eight on it!

It’s incredible what’s possible on the patent “market” – Although I can understand that
Apple is defending their intellectual goods such as the design of the iPad which Samsung
has derived it’s Galaxy Tab from, it’s unconducive for the IT market to block and sue.
But exactly this is now being repeated by a small company, called Internet Machines!

Remember September 12th? Where I stated that 8 (EIGHT!) queens to get is
almost impossible to achieve as the AI tends to get stalemate before replacing
7 pawns into queens? Seems as if I finally did otherwise. What previously
looked like an unsolvablepuzzle, finally solved up. Not so difficult at all!

Why write about a cat? Or even post a video about it. Cats are ordinary pets.
All good arguments and true but this feline is a real special one. This cat
brings her holder to a metro station in Melbourne and waits for her until
the evening. The whole day… and without any trouble. Heart-touching I say!

You all know the theory that light is the fastest possible “element” existing.
Albert Einstein has described in 1916 that nothing can be faster than the
light itself. Hereby the famous formula E=mc² has been created in which the
speed of light is measured to be exactly 299’792.658 km per second.

Maybe funny, maybe not. But this one just came into my mailbox sent by one of my
best friends. (Thanks Christopher for this one!). It seems as the crew of a fishing ship
was so drunken that they didn’t notice the submarine being at surface firing
signal rockets. The reason why the ship has hit the submarine without slowing…

So… The Windows-bashers (a.k.a. Apple-lovers) finally can no longer say that iOS is never
crashing and running without flaws. Yesterday, my iPhone has shown a rather strange
homescreen. It happened after hanging up a phone call. The icons were really disarranged
and not responding when tapping on them. Only a hard reboot finally solved the problem!

Just one week ago, the prankster couple had us a good laugh when John has mixed
laxatives into Nikki’s food and drink. She didn’t like it very much and had to stay on the
toilet for a couple of hours. She was so upset that she has sworn to kill John with a knife.
Sounds funny and was meant likewise. Her revenge is bittersweet and hits John hard.

POW! Samsung has given second serving to Apple. It seems as if Samsung also
plans to prohibit the sale of the upcoming iPhone 5 in Europe also. Basis of the
sale prohibition is still the violation of wireless technologypatents Samsung is
holding. If a sale prohibition would actually come true, iPhone 5 may delay!

The USA, country of unlimited possibilities. Also country of unlimited idiots and rather
dubious lawsuits. One of these is made in July 2006 where a private Person, called
Allen Ray Hackard (51), has fired up a lawsuit against Michael Jordan and Nike.
The sum: The astronomic number of 832.000.000  simoleons. Crazy stuff? Indeed!

It sounds like a sci-fi novel. A modified 4×4 car, high-tech radio frequency jamming
technology, stealth-ability, highly-armored – a real moving fortress!
They say that the car itself is jamming any kind of electric device within 100 metres
(approx. 300 feet) using microwave and radio frequency at high power rate.

This reeks! Pupils of an elementary school in Saxony-Anhalt (Germany) are
from now on forced to bring their own toilet paper. Why? because some
sh*theads thought, it’s a good idea to clog the toilet by throwing in complete
toiletpaper rolls or other paper that soaks full and clogs the drain.

Now it finally happened… It seems as if the German Self-Regulatory Body for
for the legally regulated protection of minors has entered the Internet. In
times, where swearing language, pornography and violence is omnipresent
also in social networks, newsportals and the like, this signet may now also…

Well… As it got boring to checkmate the AI at medium setting over 100 times, I decided
to challenge myself by playing a round at extreme setting and try to checkmate him.
I tried often by playing as defensive as possible and mostly ended up checkmated as the
AI always slashed my pawns and then picks on my main figures one by one…

The Fight, Apple vs. Samsung (or vice versa) is going into the next round.
As Samsung has officially stated that they plan to force a sales-ban in
South Korea, the chances are good for a bloody fight. It seems, that
revenge is a nice tool for Samsung as Apple has recently done likewise!

You know… I really appreciate good devices, good design and technical perfection.
Apple is one of those companies who come up with really good gadgets that enrich your
life. But when you read about something to come up in the future all day and everywhere
then I can’t help to think that it is a shameless and cost-efficient promotion.
