So Spain has finally won the EM 2012 and devastated Italia’s hope to do
likewise. The Italians have been humiliated with a 4:0 and a 90 minutes
bullfight. After that time the only conclusion was: Italia didn’t have the
breeze of a chance. The team from spain was just too strong.

Galaxy Nexus won’t be sold in the USA for now. Like the same fate, the

So While Apple has kicked out Google Maps from their upcoming iOS6,
it still seems that Apple will have to have Google applications on their
iDevices. As of now, the Google Chrome browser is available for iOS and

The new trams of Bernmobil seem to be dogged by bad luck. Again the
pantograph of one tram seems to have ensnarled itself in the powerline
and thus has been bent down. The force acting on the pantograph must
have been enormous. The pictures will proove this very spectacularly!

Chrome 20 has just been released but for those, expecting a big new release of
Google’s browser will be disappointed… probably. Because the usual numbering
of small releases (and I consider 23 bugfixes as such) is a minor number upgrade.
Such as Firefox being at 13.0.1 right now. But there’s good stuff, also inside.

What seems impossible for the most people seems to have just happened. Steve

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.

Can a complete city of the size of Zurich or Nuremberg get into bankruptcy?
No? Then this city in California, namely Stockton is teaches you otherwise!
Stockton is in debt with hundreds of millions of dollars. What sounds not much
is a real shock for the residents. The city is also suffering of high crime now!

Patch 1.0.3 has been just released offering some easing but also some
annoyances. While playing the game on Act II Inferno, I again had to face
some annoying things. Among these are classical: champion groups having
two or more magic attibutes and dealing massive amounts of damage.

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.

Summer, sun, and th fresh air of summertime feeling. But what sounds like
heaven, can be of a big annoyance soon if you’re allergic to different kinds

Tearing eyes, running nose is only one of the many allergic reactions.

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

Odd contests around the world? Yep, there are many of them. Cellphone
throwing, Caber tossing, Hotdog eating, water-drinking. Yes and even a

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.

The newest Top500 list is released and again a supercomputer in the USA

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

A natural phenomenon like this is very rare to see. But when it happens, it
is so spectacular that one, who never has seen anything like this, is so
amazed, that interesting pictures are taken. Showing you six pictures may
give you the idea what it is. I’ll explain a little further, when this happens.

Nothing has been more spectacular in the past months than the lawsuit
against kino.to-founder. Kino.to, being known as a site that allowed direct
download of actual movies and series without the need of a client such as
UseNext and the like has been closed. The imprisonment of the founder…

If you ever thought, Tornadoes are only for the American continent then guess
again. Today, Venice has been struck by a tornado which could be of F4 category
if you compare the size of it to common tornadoes. Detailed information is not
available yet. Currently it seems as if there are no killed people, fortunately.

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 NDC (Norwegian Developer’s Conference) from Microsoft seems
to have been a bit weird and shameful for Microsoft. During a very odd dance
show where light-suited women have danced during a modifies Scooter song,
the words “Micro” and “Soft” have flashed on the teleprompters.

Groupon, Facebook, LinkedIn. They all have one thing in common. Their
stock market issue was one of the most expected events in company history.
And they all suffer from the same disease. The loss of stock value. While FB
has lost 10 USD (25%) of their stock value, LinkedIn has also dipped 20%.

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 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.

If you ever thought, kitchen devices, such as fridges are the only thing that are
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
this (despite virae that may attack the OS interface of it), it may be a cool gadget.

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.

Fooling someone can be fun, but you should know where to stop and whom
not to fool around with. In this case, the so-called “Pee Prank” which seems
famous in the USA, had a bad turnaround for some people participating.
So what’s this “Pee Prank” anyways?
