LED hits 200lm per watt mark

While light emmiting diodes did not gring up much light in the past, today’s
LEDs have great potential to replace the energy-saving lamps which are in
conflict with a environment-friendly production. As Energy lamps still have
small amounts of toxic mercury and light-emmiting gases inside…

China-GPS BeiDou going live

While GPS is the most commonly used technology in the world when it comes
to navigation and other position-relevant applications, China seems to
mistrust the USA as they’re not relying on GPS. Instead, they’re engaging their
own positioning system called “BeiDou”. However it’ll take some time.

Weather gone crazy

Although the calendar says that we’re midst in Winter, the temperature
doesn’t make one feel like so. While in some places of Germany, Austria
and Switzerland the temperatures hit the 20-degrees-celsius-mark, the
question about the missing winter is just rectified.

Never rob a trucker in Russia!

If you ever considered robbing a trucker in Russia, you’d better watch this
video and reconsider. Because truckers aren’t as helples as you may think,
even if they have a tire flat broke. These guys from Russia scented a potential
victim and harrassed the trucker. Too bad that the trucker knew of CB radio!

Someone some time to spare?

Time is a valuable good if you once are in need of having more of it. So it
occurs to me right now. I’ll keep my words short as I am in a real hurry and
stress and I hope your first christmas day is as quiet and relaxing as Christ-
mas Eve yesterday was. Wish you the very best.

Survived the apocalypse – ready for junk!

Time for some new junk (a.k.a. funny videos) for those who survived the
apocalypse. Sorry for being so sarcastic anyways but there were so many
people hyping about world’s end where there was no need at all. And what
happened lately: Right! N-O-T-H-I-N-G!

Everywhere you look, you see the theories about the world’s end to come up
today. Some scientific websites also claim that there were mayan drawings
discovered that prophesy the world’s end at the very day today. But what

Christmas time and wintertime?

So X-mas is around and the weather is freaking out. The actual temperatures
don’t allow any imagination of a white christmas. While there were 30 centi-
metres of snow laying just two weeks ago, all the snow has now gone and the
green blanket shows up again. Not quite that what I consider a white x-mas.

Blog down for maintenance

As you might have noticed, my blog was down for maintenance and did not
receive any updates during christmas time. Reason for this was a planned
database update in order to update to the most recent WordPress version.
Due to some problems a rollback had to be done as updates went wrong.

Scareware-payment-service provider fined!

Scareware. A little nasty program telling you that your computer has
problems, where none are really. In most cases it’s better to trust Anti-Virus
pioneers and some system fixing software (some of them are even freeware!)
to determine your PC’s status.

AMD unveils Radeon HD 8000 Mobile GPU

AMD seems to see time running out for them and thus unveils their 8000
GPU series. While NVidia has already announced the Geforce 7xxM series,
it’s the only logical step, AMD could have done now. The question still is if
first customer devices with the new GPUs will become available in near time!

Ever wanted to travel to Antarctica?

A land so far away? Not necessarily! The swiss airline PrivatAir has landed
a Boeing 737 the first time in Antarctica. The special weather conditions and
the ground made it necessary to train the staff more than one year until the
airline flew 32 research crew members of the norwegian polar institute there!

Tragic weapon incident at Newtown,CT

It seems as if the USA will never come to peace when it comes to

killer ended the life of more than 25 people at Sandy-Hook Elementary..
The reason why he decided to do so. No one knows for sure.

Mr. Cool got cooled down…

Water can be extremely rough when you’re on it with something fast. Even the
tiniest waves can shake you around like hell. So when you’re on a fast-paced
nutshell you’d better do what? Correct: Either slow down the nutshell even if
it’s uncool or use smaller turns (if possible). Wrong: driving like this guy.

The turntable cat

When pets do silly things, it’s mpstly cute. This cat’s owner noticed that his
feline friend got a taste for turntables. Funny that the turntable was just
playing a vinyl what probably dragged the cat’s attention to the turntable.
The cat learned one important lesson: Sounding things can make dizzy!

12.12.12 – The last repdigit date!

At least for this century. Because there’s no 13.13.2013! – But why is this date
so special? Many people argue that such palindrome dates are guranteed to
bring luck to special events being done at such dates: Marriages, birthdays,
even common events from our everyday life are said to be better.

Amazon has patented “Mobile SRS”

Sounding almost ridiculous, Amazon has really patented a system to keep

at the U.S. patent office, you’ll find a scheme for a air-driven recovery
system. However it’s not yet known what Amazon really plans.

Some thoughtful video for the X-mas time

Bruno Bozetto has made a cartoon showing the evolution of our world. Using
“Bolero di Ravel” as the background music gives it a real classy touch. Since
this video is dated 1976, this is now 36 years old but it still has it’s charme.
So enjoy watching “Allegro non troppo – Boléro di Ravel”

The future is near: LCD contact lens!

Have irisses with pictures long been a dream vision in movies, it now
seems that this is no longer Science-Fiction. The Centre of Microsystems has
developed a contact lens with a flexible LC display that is capable of display-

When cats won’t listen…

If you have cats that are very active and even wasting areas they’re not
allowed to, then this video may give you an idea how to teach them a lesson
without doing them any pain! I personally like the idea to teach pets without
physical influence! Never hurt a pet because it won’t forgive you that!

And they keep faaaaaalling…

It seems as if Cupertino’s darling is in big crisis as the stock shares keep
falling in value. Noting at 538 US$ at the moment of this article being written,
there’s the question when the Apple share will stop sinking so rapidly. Just
today, China Mobile announced that it will enlist the Nokia Lumia 620.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow…

The winter is finally arriving in Europe, too. While signs two days ago pointed
to a green christmas time, it seems now as if the nature’s white blanket is most
likely to stay. As one of those people who like the four seasons, I am pleased
to see that weather’s like what it should be in December.

(Un)necessary goodies…

There’s lots of useless junk sold worldwide. The Anti-Fart-underwear might
be one of these. Okay, farts aren’t really wanted in crowds and one might
want to vanish in a big hole when he/she has dropped one. But you can’t
stop nature. When it happens,then mostly in cases where you don’t want it.

Can a perfect headphone still be better?

In search for good headphones and probably with the option to make phone
calls with these, too, the market of headphones is really thin. Either you
have in-ears that often tend to fall out during listening or even the slightest
tuck on the cable or you have on-ears that lack of a microphone.

shaken this way. But hey, they sort them faster as anyone else!
