What seems impossible for the most people seems to have just happened. Steve
Woznia has visited the grounded Kim Schmitz for an interview. Wozniak has
stated, that the current ongoing lawsuit against Kim Schmitz is nonsense and
not having any fundament to be serious. Kim Schmitz also fought the charge.

Another hardware test. Believe it or not but I recently have acquired a
Microsoft hardware and want to compare it against the primus Logitech
who brings in the TouchMouse M600. What makes me test the Microsoft
rodent anyways? I thought, why not check out Microsoft hardware.

When it comes to a new iOS version, there’s also a new iDevice on the roll.
In this case, the update could introduce the new iPhone as well. Or maybe
the AppleTV? No one knows for sure but what’s great for those waiting for
the newest iGadgets, can also be great news for those with actual iDevices.

Once more SanDisk is about to set a milestone when it comes to memory
card technology. Today, Sandisk has announced that the first microSDHC
U1 cards for high-end mobile devices are ready to be published. At a read

The newest Top500 list is released and again a supercomputer in the USA
is dominating the list again after the supercomputer in Japan has marked
a new record last year and dominating the list with a total computing
power of 10.1 PFlops/s. Let’s get a sneak peek on the new hell machine.

It seems as if Logitech still has the power to draw attention to it’s products.
The G600 seems to fill the gap between a gamer mouse and the possibility
to control a MMORPG without the use of a keyboard at all. But what makes
the G600 so special against other mice from other manufacturers.

Probably one of the most-discussed features in the past weeks. The
auction house where you can purchase items for real money! Initially it
should open on May, 26th, the date has been moved to June, 13th and
when checking yesterday, the date says June, 15th…

Apple’s newest WWDC 2012 in San Francisco was most-expected so far.
People have expected a sneak peek on Apple’s newest gadgets. I speak of the
iPhone 5 and AppleTV. But none of the two gadgets have been mentionned.
And with this, it’s most unlikely that you will get these this year’s christmas!

This year’s DisplayWeek tradefair is also interesting as it brings up brandnew
stuff from all display manufacturers. It seems as if the statement is clear:
Sharper, thinner, brighter. All nameful brands are showing their latest inven-
tions and also give examples how these new displays will change our life.

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.

As you might have noticed, I made some changes to my blog. My blog is active
and living. And with it, also the techniques usable to this date will also take place
here. As you probably noticed when using an outdated browser, you will see a
green ribbon show up to update your browser. See my blog yesterday, why!

Again, it seems as I have discovered some lacks in Microsoft’s IE. The browser
seems not able to handle CSS3 up to version 9 properly. The result? A really odd
looking button and pagination buttons. This blog will show you what happens,
when browsers do not comply with actual HTML and CSS standards.

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”
for the metal bracer broke on the right. Typing a lumpy space key is no fun!

iPhone-thefts are as old as the iPhone itself. Steve Job’s breakthrough on the
smartphone market introduced a smartphone with touchscreen and arose
the other manufacturers to issue their new gadgets with touchscreen also.
With the release of iCloud however, iPhone theft got more difficult for thieves.

It seems as if Stuxnet is not the only dangerous computer virus out there. This
little fella may spy on your privacy in a big way. It’s name: Flame. As Kaspersky
stated, this virus can enable logging of your chats and audiosessiony with ease.
This way, a possible attacker may record ALL of your activities unnoticed.

Garage for WHAT you may ask? Yes, you read right. As there’s an official cell
phone prohibition in public schools of New York, pupils can store their cellphone
in one of the mobile storage units which stay at a certain spot when the first
cellphone is handed in. Although the controls at the school gates are more hard…

It seems as if the troubles around Diablo III aren’t going to stop. Have recent
logon problems already gone for good, there’s the next issue upcoming. More
and more people are reporting their skilled and hard-played characters to be
stripped down (=their account being hacked) without having any clue, why!

After several deaths and frustrating champion mob groups, I decided to join
a random group in order to do Diablo. Even with L4 this foe is a real hard nut
to crack. You’ll need lots of tactics to beat him. So if you’re less than L36,
don’t even think about facing Diablo! You won’t survive this challenge!

Act III was really challenging. Died several times due to the big number of
mobs rusing towards me. However the Boss was quite easy to slay. Liked the
tower levels where you fight your way towards the boss. The big tortured
creatures… just scaring. The atmosphere: demonic and mystic!

So the game develops an interesting taste when you move along with friends
decimating the numerous foes that follow you and stop you from reaching
Diablo. But it’s not as easy as usual. The foes get stronger with each party
member that joins your game. So no more standalone-bashing.

So there we are: Act II – Into the desert. Gosh, how I remember my ways
from Lut Gholein back and forth. Memories… – The Skeleton King was not as
difficult as the Butcher who slained a good friend of mine and me… several
times. Can be annoying especially when you take the boss down to 10% of life.

So… the first quests have been played and one thing to say: It’s a nice scenery
to run through and the fights are sort of… challenging. Especially when you
meet some champions which have ways more HP and additional enchants
that make them more resistent against you or even grill your char in no time!

Sanctuaria is open to everybody. Since midnight (european time) you can
officially log on to the game server and play Diablo III. Since yesterday 5pm
the installer no longer refused to install. The installation of the game took a
mere 30 minutes on a classic notebook and 10 minutes on a highend system.

It seems as if WhatsApp Has also attracted the attention of hackers. An
Android App called WhatsApp Sniffer allows tapping of conversations
between users on the same network as the hacker is on with his device.
Google has already put down the App from the AppMarket.

When it comes to Siri, you remember the iPhone 4S introducing this feature.
You can ask Siri any question and most of them are adequately answered.
The question about “Will you marry me” for example is being answered with
“Sorry, but my Terms of use do not cover marriage”.

Seems as if the german BKA (Federal Criminal Police Office) still has no tool
to tap the encrypted VoIP lines or EMail traffic of Suspects. The trojan horse
“Staatstrojaner” still does not comply with current law specifications and
thus is illegal to use on any private computer yet!

This is a wonderful example why you shouldn’t use automated patterns to
generate e-mail adresses for example. In this case, a german company has
faced severe problems and moch more worse: The email system there seems
not to accept any changes to that generated addresss…

What almost sounds impossible, seems true right now. The usually so-secure
Mac OS X seems to have a big security hole allowing hacers to spy on passwords.
It seems as if FileVault has a Debug option that allows writing unencrypted
passwords to FileVault files to the log file. This debug option has been…

So finally I decided to updated my rig with a SSD. The reason? Well, although
my rig fired up in under one minute, I thought: Hey, can I give it some more
power? So the SSD was the next object to put on my wishlist. But wait, there
was something when I tried to give my netbook an update…

Long-awaited and probably the most-feared iPhone-Killer, the Galaxy S3 will
be unpacked and officially presented to the public in Loondon. There are lots
of speculations about the design, equpment and general specifications about
Samsung’s new flagship. However the excitement is still there.

Not only Australia seems to have lost trust in Huawei (read here), now even
Germany’s universities seem to seek for other network equipment deilverers.
The actual statement from the DFN (Deutsches Forschungs-Netz) has also
mentionned security issues besides formal contract issues.

So it’s official! Five big providers have been forced by the High Court of Great
Britain to lock access to the famous Pireate bay site, a site containing links to
torrent files that allow establishing network links to a specific file among
various clients. An example for de-centralized file distribution.
