Although I really appreciate other manufacturers to come up with good alter-
atives to Apple’s new iPad, I still fear that some manufacturers seem to seek
for the thrill of being sued by Apple for design patent violations. The newest
tablet from Huawei, the MediPad FHD seems to make no exception here.

The new portable HDDs in the classic 2,5″ size are now upgraded and hold 2TB

It seems as if german internet users still don’t have to fear a two strikes rule as
it is already applied in France or Great Britain. German ISPs don’t want to spy
on their users and inform them about copyright infringement. This seems to be
a severe Drawback for ACTA. Especially 1&1 as the biggest ISP is against it!

The Euro doesn’t have a chance to rest and get back it’s glory. Just now when

book. The webpages from the german soccer club “FC Bayern München” are
loaded 120 million times a month. There are also facebook-based fansites
however the advertising income isn’t flowing to the club’s finances.

Samsung, Kodak, Microsoft… they are all involved in some lawsuits with each
other. This time, however, Yahoo is filing a lawsuit against social media leader

It seems that my daily basis of posting content seems to bring WordPress to it’s
limit (or at least my host’s server!). However my posts since Saturday have not
been posted although they haven’t been scheduled but regularly posted. I think
there’s some problem with the database. I’ll have to let a ReOrg of same happen.

Free speech in the world is the highest good we have but it seems as if some
countries don’t see it the same way. Especially countries which regime seems
to be weak against criticism seem to block lots of content and criticizing sites.
China for example sets the highest level so far and it’s firewall filters a lot!

Seems as if Nokia has great plans: As Windows Mobile 8 becomes a success
more and more on the new Lumia series, Nokia seems to have decided to
bring out a tablet with Windows 8 . However it’ll be hard competing against
Samsung and Apple who control 80% of the tablet market these days.

fake Apps seem to flood Apple’s AppStore and pester it with non-working Apps.

On the GDC 2012 EA and Maxis have shown a new version of SimCity. Simcity 4
is the newest version of the game since 2004, offering a sort-of-isometric view
and real 3D objects ingame. The game depth was really high but not higher than
in Simcity 3000 (published in 1998). I’m a big fan, who has played the original.

have not been posted automatically as set up. So I’ll have to check out that happened.
This may take a while as I am not well and at home curing from disease. Hope to be back
with you fellow readers as soon as possible. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Has Nokia changed it’s business and produces cameras now, you wonder? Not
likely! We talk here about an ordinary smartphone with Symbian Belle and a
Zeiss optics lens that should help producing pictures at a nominal resolution
of 38 MPixels (7152 × 5368) with an image sensor of total 41 MPixels.

Now THIS is something you don’t see often: It seems as if an initially
successful heli landing has turned into a real nightmare for the pilots. When
the wheeliebird touched ground, the unbalance of the slowing-down blades
suddenly began to shake the whole helicopter until it fell apart like lego…

So while the financial markets have calmed down since August 2010 when the
swiss national bank has taken action to support the Euro’s stability by putting
the reference exchange value to 1.20 CHF, it seems that new black clouds are

After having completed all steps to use a newer (and probably more functional)
Wordpress to Twitter sending plugin, it should be that my Tweets now should
show all my posts, I post from now on. Hopefully this will work in any manner
and help you using my blog from Twitter also. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Three things that don’t like each other. Usually I liked the feature to tweet my newest posts
on my twitter account as well. However with the advanced authentication methods, Twitter
uses, it seems that WordPress gets confused and throwing all kinds of errors at you and
even worse: Not tweeting anything in your name.

Seems that the newest OS of Apple will be called “Mountain Lion”. After “Snow lepard” it’s a
logic sequence. Seems Apple has been into felines recently if you look at the naming of all
OSX versions. But hey, it’s only creative I think, especially when you look up the
codenames for Windows: XP=Whistler, Vista=Longhorn, Seven=Vienna.

Samsung is about to release another Galaxy Tab. Rumors exist that the new tablet will have
a 7″ display and a not specified Dualcore ARM processor. The specs are almost the same as
of the current Galaxy Tab. So I don’t see the additional value aghainst the current models
except that Samsung is probably trying to avoid Apple’s sale prohibition.

Eolas, well known as lawsuit holder against Microsoft with ActiveX has finally got a setback.
A jury in Texas declared the two Web automation technic patents Eolas claimed raights on,

companies, relying on ActiveX can still code their applications based on ActiveX.

So the final word in one lawsuit against Samsunghas been spoken. While Apple
also has other fights against Samsung, the one about the Galaxy Tab 10.1 N is

It seems that lawsuits in any part of our life will define the day in the future. In this case,
heise.de got sued by Megaupload for an article about Megaupload. To be more exact, this
phrase was the spark for the fire: “Megaupload pays uploaders of very popular files”. The
case has been closed now and Megaupload has to pay for all costs, the lawsuit has caused.
