Unbelievable but true. But it seems as if free speech in the USA gets limited
more and more. As if the USA wouldn’t have enough laws, there’s always
room for one more. This time it’s Middleborough, Massachusetts. A word
as common as other profanities you hear in public for various reasons.

This year’s NDC (Norwegian Developer’s Conference) from Microsoft seems

Groupon, Facebook, LinkedIn. They all have one thing in common. Their

What thrilled the whole world last year seems to have been finally put back to
normal again. Have measurements shown that neutrinos seemed to have been
a tad faster than light, more recent measurements at CERN have shown that also
neutrinos stick to Einstein’s Relativity theory (E=mc²). So light is still the fastest!

What looks promising at first seems too good to be true. However the idea or
concept to bring touchscreen-operated devices to the visual impaired may be
weird too? Why would someone use a touchscreen-device if he/she can’t see
what is on it. Okay, the idea is cool but the practical usage is not yet proven.

connected to the internet, well, think again because AGA has given an oven the
functionality to be operated from the web. Although I see some sort of risk in

How close can a car being parked in parallel without touching the car in
front of and behind? How much distance in between did you have when
doing so? 1 meter, 80cm, 60cm or even closer? Well forget about these

Today I thought, I’d clean up my keyboard as there was dust under almost all
of my keys. I hate dirty keyboards, you know. While haggling out the space
key to open a large gap to fork out the dust, I noticed, that the “leading track”

Maybe it sounds funny when you go to a wash saloon and read a sign, saying
“Junior Wash – $2.95” – Especially when you have your kid with you. But I
don’t think it’s a wise idea to put the kid into the washing machine just for a
joke. Alone because the machine is auto-starting when you close the door.
