Many Airlines have been grounded in the past 10 years. About
200 in total! Today the third largest of them has been hit by
insolvency today. The American Airlines are well-known all over
the world, although they mostly operate US-regional flights. Continue Reading

I am annoyed with all that password security stuff, OAuth crap and what’s all around with it!
Always some errors with any security-related stuff because they  change things here and
there. What’s the game anyways Why change a running system for god’s sake? I am going to
kick out every single plugin subject to any changes that render my blog unusable.

Black Friday as the american people call the last friday in November. The day
where some people get theyr christmas bonusses. The day where shops will be
the place of non-retaining, yelling, scratching, beating and bickering people
fighting over slightly reducing goods, no matter if they can use them anyways!

Well, the weather is kinda odd this year. Horror news about increasing climatic temps,
more greenhouse gas effect and the ongoing pollution of the earth are probably the
cause for this year’s winter to start later. Or finally never… who knows. At least the
temperatures are rather mild for November. So hopefully winter will still come.

You all know this. It’s around mid of November and the environment
starts to be everyday in grey. Cold temperatures of about 5
degrees, fog, moist and slippery sidewalks make you wanna
sleep all day long. Also it’s the time where the most projects run.

Well… As you have probably noticed, my video from the lightshow
Rendez-Vous Bundesplatz 2011 in Bern may not be available to all users. The reason:
The Music industry, that wants to have control over everything that deals with music
and motion pictures. Sure… copyrights have to be saved… but this way?

This story describes how the webcam got invented. A small idea grown during
the question on how full a coffee machine’s can in a distant office room is.
Quentin Stafford-Fraser picked up the idea to remotely watch the coffee can by
a camera pointing to the coffee machine shooting a picture every 20 seconds.

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!

Or how the IFPI wants us to believe why controlling the internet is good. The argument:
Child pornography. And whenever that term is evolved, some sites get on an index of some
ISP’s that block the access in total. So wht’s the most efficient way to take a site down that
publishes copyrighted material? Right: Accuse that site of broadcasting child pornography!

So there’s Groupon as a new U.S. stock market player. The revenues flooded
700 million dollars into Groupon’s stash. Lots of money to play with and also
lots of investors that now rely on them to do something good with the money.
But why am I so sceptic about Groupon’s latest big deal? Get a load of this…

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!

What to say, the European Union and the Euro have an immense crisis for quite a long
time now. Fights here, financial cuts there, failing agreements there, all in all no unity
at all. Greece, actually the biggest debitor in the European Union seems not to agree to
the planned big payment cuts that Greece should do in order to “survive”.

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!

male the ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec) available to all programmers.

Battlefield 3 has hit the stores and since yesterday you can activate your
purchased game online. Activate it? Yes, you read right, also EA has started
the crap with online activation à la Ubisoft & Co. – So playing Battlefield 3
without a working activation Server and Origin? Well… T. s.!

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:

Apple has done many lawsuits in the past. And one was about their logo where
it was hard for me to find similarities that may infringe with patents or copy-
rights of the Apple company in Cupertino (read here). This time I think, they’ve
gone too far! A small tea room owner got sued for her logo she has patented.

What’s the best advertisement you can have today? TV? No! Radio? Probably!
Newspapers and magazines? Probably… but the best public advertisement is,
in my opinion, the Internet and independent blogs. But the PR department of
Sony Ericcson seems to have missed the time shifting and the modern times.

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?

So just few days ago I have shown that the new phone
displays in the upcoming devices with Android will have
displays with approx. 346 ppi and thus little sharper than
the Retina display in the iPhone 4. Continue Reading

I bet you have wondered why it became so silent on my blog where every day
had at least one entry. Well… I had a very sad moment on Tuesday, October
18th when my dad died very surprisingly almost at noon to Tuesday. Therefore
I was in mourning for the last week and decided not to blog for that time.

Have you ever wondered about the strange antennas you can see when you travel from
munich to Zurich via Lindau and are about to reach Buchloe? Well, I also have asked
myself what that strange antenna-buildup is for. A research on Wikipedia finally answered
my question and brought up some interesting information.

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 .

So, this is the sunday post of me realizing that Rosiv is back in Munich again. Strange but yet
normal: You really miss good friends when they return to their home. Knowing that it will
take some months until you see them again. Well, the weekend was a real nice change to the
average days and discovering some Geocaches also made some fun although we didn’t…

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.
