The Euro doesn’t have a chance to rest and get back it’s glory. Just now when
the economic crisis has taken down most of the icelandic finance sector, it
seems as if Iceland could need a new currency. But which one? The Euro could
be such one however Iceland seems to head for the canadian dollar…

Just today, when I’ve commented a new blog from Rosiv, I
noticed that this was also a critic review on how time has
changed about mobile hardware and what we can do with
it there and now.

Seems as if the next big fish in the Web is going to show the red card to face-
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.

I know… most of you hate about reading some patent lawsuits. Apple, Google,
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
Facebook. Yahoo claims rights to technologies, facebook is currently using.

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.

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…

Ever wondered why people print out websites? No? Even I had doubts but ever more I can
understand people who print out certain websites as in today’s times it gets more and more
difficult to find specific content. Best example which led me into frustration: I was searching for
a walkthrough guide on Kid Icarus 3D Classics on the 3DS. No problem, you say? JFGI?

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!

Continue Reading

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 as if Bhut Jolokia isn’t the spiciest Chili anymore. A new sort of chili
pepper has entered the platform and raising the average Scovile hotness
from 1 million Scoville (Bhut Jolokia) to a whopping and burning 1.2 million
Scoville. That new competitor even gets hotter!

Ever thought, that McDonalds is unhealthy? It sure can be. If you continue
consuming fast food for a prolonged time your health might severly suffer from
this and result in fat liver and other unhealthy conditions such as tension to
heart attacks, obesity, high cholesterol in blood and other diseases.

You may wonder why I say this but on my favourite newsportal I found a really
shocking video that shows, how rude a busdriver can be. So better think twice
if you stall a buss behind you. You might end up like the guy in the video shown.
The bus chauffeur of course lost his job when his boss saw the video.

…a phrase, this little critter could have helped avoiding a quite uncomfortable
wakeup situation. The dog seemingly forgot that it was standing in a water
bassin and soon began to fall asleep after being a bit drowsy. What follows, is
the inevitable result of the phrase above. Have a nice weekend!

Maybe you wonder about this odd mathematical term. But when you watch
the following video, everything will become clear at once. Not only the
action itself but also the preparation to the odd situation is kinda funny.
Painful for the actor on the other hand. But next time he’ll remember…

Ever wondered what a sunrise and sunset on the Jungfraujoch, the highest
mountain in the Bernese upper lands looks like? Seems as if Switch fulfills
your dream of your imagination and installed a high-resoluting camera at
the Sphinx laboratory on the Top of Europe.

Today I decided to do a quick Chess round against the AI again.
While picking on all of his figures, he stood there naked quickly!
In a minute and with the loss of only three pawns, I cornered the
AI and completely humiliated it by such a quick round.

As I have already reported about Groupon (a rebate-based shopping site) to go Wall Street,
and stated that Groupon might become one of the bubbles of the internet business, my fears
have partly been confirmed. Groupon has made a total loss of 351 million $. The owner of
Groupon blames international expansion investions for the high operational loss.

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.

Still having pics online on facebook you’d better not have posted? Deleting
them now is no option either for quick vanishing. As Ars Technica has found
out now, the pictures will still last for three more years until they get deleted.
Facebook has already admitted that theyir system is “fairly” slow in this.

This weekend I am going to Munich again and also see a good friend of mine who celebrates
his 30th birthday. Odd to see some frosting in a train car that is heated up to felt 25°C. Due
to the lack of a stable cell network and the repeated non-working status of the local cell
networks I’ll upload the pictures later on. Funny to see the snow blowing into the coach.

There are things that cannot correlate with each other. And in the internet your words can
always be read by people you’d better not wanna face. In this case a young couple from
UK has used twitter to fork out some black humor and celebrate their holidays by
“destroying” the USA and “exhuming” Madonna. Their holidays wne into a horror trip!

…how ironic to see that again a man got confined for a rather harmless
crime (DWI). The man got incarcerated into isolation confinement and
was not allowed to consult an attorney at law nor a doctor. Even worse:
He was not even allowed to take his depression-easing medicine.

What sounds near impossible to you, seems to have come true because of the endurance
of an amateur craftsman. His idea was to enhance a simple LED nightlight from Ikea with
a bluetooth controller and make it controllable with his android phone. Doesn’t work?
It sure does. And on his blog, you get the source code and instructions for your ideas!

Today, Megaupload has been officially reported to be busted by the FBI as MPAA, RIAA
and mayor labels have claimed for big losses due to copyright violations, Megaupload has
probably done. Several persons have been taken into custody for further audition.

According to the blog entry from yesterday (read here), Wikipedia has indeed
put Wikipedia into blackout. Where you would usually see the main page of
Wikipedia, there’s now a black page criticizing the new legislation about SOPA
copyright and the attempt to put the free internet “behind bars”.

How do these words relate, you ask? Well… it sems as if the mayor members of
the  Copyright Association have finally decided to push thorugh the SOPA.
SOPA stands for Stop Online Piracy Act and in this Act, there are several points
to censor the internet in many ways. Not only in the USA but worldwide!

Drinking beer is usually no art or challenge whatsoever. In this case, the guy
decides to sip down three bottles of beer in under 40 seconds. If you think,
that’s all, you’re wrong because as a special challenge, he doesn’t use his hands
to open the bottles or hold them while drinking.

As time goes by, even transportation advances. Faster, bigger, more luxurious.
That’s what the transportation is aiming for. The Costa Concordia, that has hit gound at
Giglio island, is one of the most modern luxury liners that have been built. Nearly one
billion dollars expensive, that ship was able to hold 6000 passengers and 2000 crewmen.

In this case, a concrete buffer has gone berzerk after someone has lost control
over the handle of the machine. The result looks spectacular, funny but also
dangerous. The problem is that such a concrete buffer is heavyweight and not
easily taken down when spinning around. They finally got it down anyways.

This guy had a great idea how to automatize the flip of a newspaper page.
Just with the sip of his coffee mug, he starts off a big chain reaction and finally
the page is turned. Although I prefer a less destructive way for turing a page…
However the idea is nce and the video is nicely made. But watch for yourself.
