I really hate ads. Mostly they interrupt your favourite show, they distract you
from the actual story of a film and they’re annoyingly often put in between.
But when you have some time to spare and find such ads by accident or via
other websites, they can become cool.

And the crowd is cheering as the new WordPress version comes online
without great hiccups. Some plugin here, some addon there that didn’t
run as intended, but soon the average posting business will set up again,
still takes some time to adapt to the new system… *sic*

So it’s time for an update. The webspace ran low and WordPress is bugging
me all time to finally do some update as my version is sorta outdated al-
though it is working fine for me. But for security reasons I finally gave in.
You may experience offline time in the next days due to server change.

…or: Why for heaven’s sake spend 2’300 CHF on a coffee machine? Well… let’s
start with the story of ugly-tasting coffee and what I’ve tried so far. At work we
have a Schaerer coffee machine that makes good coffee, real good coffee! But
for home use, this machine is a tad too big and too expensive (7’250 CHF).

Or… The Batter has a talent to hit balls the way it wasn’t supposed to be!
At least this older man had luck while filming a baseball game not to be
injured by a foul ball. It was only the iPad that got knocked down but
still seems to work well. Cool action though it was sorta quick!

It seems as if HTC didn’t have much luck against Nokia. Nokia seems to have
located a special microphone design in HTC’s new phone “One” which has
been exclusively designed for Nokia and has also been patented by Nokia.
A court in the Netherlands there fore have issued an injuction against HTC.

Not only is Titan (a Cray XK7 machine with 17PFlops/s) the fastest
Supercomputer to date but soon it’ll have access to the fastest SAN
attached to it. With a net data speed of 1,4 TByte/s it can save a
private person’s video library faster then it needs for the click.

Cruising around in a car (especially when you got your driver’s licence…)
However there’s one little thing you should be aware of: KNOW YOUR CAR
FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE! – In this case, the young driver did everything

While the gadgets from Apple still sell like fresh-made bread, it seems as if
the stock shares are being dropped like a hot potato. So has the share
value reached a new 2-year-low with “only” 389 US$ per share. Is this a
new trend of Apple? According to the plans to release another iPhone…

C’mon weather, what’s wrong with you? First you give us sun, 24 degrees
and blue sky and today it’s rainy, above 600 metres snow is falling, in 1000
metres we have 30 to 80cm snow. That’s just crazy! While on Thursday the
temperature was at 24 degrees, it fell to 6 degrees on friday.

Some funny incident happened at Reuters, where possibly a prepared news
block has been released without checking. In this case, George Soros is the
victim for, maybe wished, death. Well, george Soros still lives and is not
dead as the news block has written.

Dominoes with millions of stones are already very impressing. But what
about 10.000 iPhones faling so timed with video animation that it would
make a competely animated domino image. Although it is said that spe-
cially modified iPhone 5 with NFC, it’s hard to tell, if this is real.

According to some sources, it seems as if Microsoft has recognized that the
tiles surface isn’t everybody’s taste. That’s true and there are many people
who avoid upgrading to Windows 8 for the very same reason. Even I do not
update to Windows 8 as I don’t like the tiles and the “flat” windows style.

It seems as if the USA aren’t allowed to come to rest. Today, two bombs
have interrupted the Marathon currently ongoing. The explosions had
so much power to cause about 150 injuries and three dead among which
there was also an eight-year old. An act of revenge?

What sounds like SciFi or an element of SimCity, isn’t just some fiction.

and has floating power plants in their repository. Big vessels, with a length

It seems as if Samsung wants to show Apple how to not design a good
smartphone. According to first attempts to disassemble the Galaxy S4 it
seems as if one who has a skilled hand in technics, can easily fix smaller
problems with the smartphone himself. The iPhone 5 is not easy to open!

As it wouldn’t have been enough with all the bad news about webservices,
here’s another one for the saturday. It seems as if there’s a bib botnet sear-
ching for security holes in WordPress installations and using them as
zombie servers. The first thing is the brute force attack on the admin pass.

My attention can be easily attracted, when it comes to interesting gadgets. In
this case, the japanese company Zoom has to offer an interesting tool that acts
as mobile dictaphone, microphone and can also be used as home microphone
attached to the computer. Time to get me one of these while price is reduced.

As you can see, my blog is also using the Social Media Widget. However it’s
not version 4.0 which has been considered a SPAM machine. It is said to
add “Pay Day Loan”-SPAM by injecting third-party PHP code, which is
loaded from an external source. The fact that the programmer changed…

It seems as if Samsung has trouble with almost every bigger company that
seals with electronics. Now it’s LG who has sent inspectors to the offices of
Samsung to search for patent violations. LG states that it is a bit odd that
Samsung is releasing big-size OLEDs nearly at the same time as LG does.

What sounds like a bad joke or a nerd watching too much SciFi series, is
the hard truth. A guided laser system (LaWS as the US Navy calls it) is able
to seek and destroy potential dangerous flying objects. Tested with a drone
the ship burnt the birdie down into the ocean.

I really wonder if pain is so alluring that some people switch off their brain
and do silly things, a normal person would never think of, no matter how
spectacular it would be. This guy however is one of those who seem to
destroy their descendant’s future. Oh, and girls don’t like scrambled eggs!

Ther e are situations when money is needed. And thieves are most creative
when it comes to achieving the goal of filling the hole in the pocket with
money. Some try to break in (and fail), others try to rip out the entire ATM
(and got caught), these guys thought, let’s do a gas station with an ATM!

With iOS6, the UI hasn’t changed much. many bugfixes have been made,

the resolution of the screen has changed but the iOS ap hasn’t. So some users

One thing we like about Amazon is the uncomplex way of ordering things
on the internet and have them delivered home. No more walking around
in the rain no more waithing at the cash register and easy browse&search
on the homepage for specific items. But in Germany there’s grey clouds.

You know, I was complaining about winter in the past. The temperature
has already risen over zero although 3 degrees Celsius aren’t that warm
either. But what bothers me most is the everyday-gray that is dominating
the whole weeks for the last three months. Where’s spring and the sun?!

Sweet jimminee… the day started at 7 a.m. for me today and before you
