The following video may impressively show that even seagulls are subject
to being fooled easily. So a simple glass wall or window can be a real annoying
barrier for these birds. But you’d better not fool them too much. maybe they

You know… I really appreciate good devices, good design and technical perfection.
Apple is one of those companies who come up with really good gadgets that enrich your
life. But when you read about something to come up in the future all day and everywhere
then I can’t help to think that it is a shameless and cost-efficient promotion.

Remember when I posted about the first SDXC microSD card from Lexar in
June this year? Finally my favourite memory card manufacturer seems to
have done the same and announces these little giant cards as well. At a MSRP
of about 219 US$ / 159 € / 199 CHF these cards are fair calculated.

Today it was somewhat quiet. Nothing special to write about, nothing special
on the web. So I browsed my favourite Prankster couple website for new
pranks and found a new one. This time, John wants Nikki to hit the John for a
couple of hours. And how to better achieve this than with laxatives…

The nature always has some strange yet spectacular things to offer. One of them
might grow on the hands of Chris Walting, a 45-years-old female singer from
Las Vegas. She has officially entered the Guinness Book Of Records when she
had her nails measured in New York. Her nails have grown for 18 years now!

Well today, there are many sports events that are rather strange or new
to us. Yesterday I found this video showing men who seem to have a rather
odd “olympic” discipline: Namely to be the fastest to flush the nasal cavity

There are many strange goodies for us in stores. Some are rather useless, others are
just bizarre, another ones are ridiculous and again some are dangerous. The story
today shows that even common goodies in the household can become a dangerous
item. In this case a 38-years-old british man with two children died of such one.

I finally found something on TV that’s worthwile watching. Despite the fact that
most of all tv series on TV are crap and that they often garnish these with two
to three blocks of commercial ads. Alone this fact, that on 45 minutes of a TV
series is expanded to 60 minutes because of ads, keep my TV mostly off!

Today I tried to apply the so-called Scholar’s mate move on the AI. You don’t know what
Scholar’s mate means? It means, setting the opponent checkmate within 4 moves
ignoring any threat of him. As this move is very basic, you won’t see professionals
playing that move in any way. Amazing how quick the AI was beaten!

Well… remember, when I beat the AI (or let’s say, the iPhone)  with six queens?
You also remember that I stated, that it would be almost impossibe to gain 7
queens and then bone the AI? Finally I managed to do this also but it was not
easy at all. Took me quite some time to do so and not on easy setting!

whole surrounding. probably also pictures, one does not want to see online. Like
houses, cars and their licence plates other identifiable objects or also the view into

It seems as if Apple also is being mocked by local comedians. In the following
video, Conan O’Brien, a famous talkmaster, comedian and television host, has

Well… Android OS is now 6 Years old and just few days ago, Google has
released the new codename for the newest version of Android OS. It is

Today, it is 10 years since the attack on the twin towers in New York and the
Pentagon. It was the most horrible situation, the USA had to face. The attack
cost 2977 people their lives. When the planes crashed into the
towers, no one before would have expected anything like that!

So, finally a post of my thoughts about today’s communication methods. 15 years ago,
the communication methods were rather limited as cell phones and their price plans
were too expensive. The Internet was still in it’s development process and services like
ICQ and the like were not well-developed or ready for mass communication.

Well, you certainly have heard about the rumors that came up when Switzerland had
their people vote for or against the minaret (the small tower where the Muezzin shouts
of when he calls for the prayers of his landsmen). As the swiss people voted “No” on the
minaret, the whole islamistic union was against Switzerland and the swiss people.

How do these three relate to each other, you may ask? Well, today I
stumbled over an interesting video again! But before telling about the
details on this video, the epilogue why that video has been made and
what’s the idea behind. The man who shot the video had a talk with Putin.

everyone takes his part in the Finance, he has to pay taxes, taxes like V.A.T.

You may ask now what the heck is going on? Apple against the rest of the
World? If you read articles like this one, you may think exactly the above.
In this case, Apple says, the Logo of the food company looks too similar to
the well-known Apple logo. For me, it looks more similar to the LG logo…

Well, it seems as if the iPhone has hit a new Low against me. Remember
the published screenshot of my game where I have beaten the AI in under

Dang! I hate it when I can’t sleep! Yesterday I had to face a non-working internet, now it
seems to be back again. So while not being able to sleep due to some sneezing and a bit
sickness, I decided to fiddle around with my blog and try to activate my twitter broad-
cast. Let’s see if this post will also be twittered to my twitter account and thus visible…

That’s what I call talented: This ventriloquist and puppeteer has his puppet
under full control. Like his audience that laughs and claps with the music
going. Today you rarely see such good ventriloquists and pupeteers. I think,
this métier is going to get forgotten about more and more…

…that’s what you would think of if you read these values: 6.4 metres long,
1070 kg heavy and a 70 cm long gorge with many spiky teeth. But having

considered vicious and being described as a real beast!
