Once more Google nails it with an awesome easter egg. Simply head over to google.com and enter ‘do a barrel roll’ manually. You simply can’t ‘em!

While I was working on my latest site and checking it in different browsers I just thought it would be quite interesting to see what browsers made it into my top 5 and what you guys usually use. So this is my Browser High 5….(nice!). So when I look down in my dock, I see 5 browsers hanging out there. Three all the time, two temporarily. 1. Firefox Especially since [...]

Since I am running towards the 30 (years of age) and I am expecting my early midlife crisis to set in soon I thought I might take a look back on my personal technology highlights that I have seen come and go. So this is a totally personal and by far not a professional opinion. First contact. Atari Tennis. On the tv screen. Powered by an Atari 7800. You know the [...]

Since I am not an engineer but nevertheless hit by some ideas once in a while I thought I write them down and one of you awesome guys out there simply engineers them, right? As simple as that! ;-) The first request is not new, but hit me again last night. Lying in my bed, thinking about the usual things (not what you think, perverts!) and then, all of a sudden, [...]

3 short and sweet breaking news for saturday morning: Twitter announced that it’s going to take over Atebit’s Tweetie. One of the best twitter clients (Tweetie for Mac, iPhone) so far and announced further that there might be an iPad version soon. And last but not least twitter announced that it’s gonna be free. So there will be a free official twitter.com twitter client. Guess that puts quite some pressure [...]

So fängt der Tag doch gut an. 10 Uhr, Dienstag Morgen, die rot gekleideten Richter treffen zusammen um ihr Urteil zum lange umstrittenen Gesetz zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung in Deutschland bekannt zu geben. Gespannt verfolgt man Twitter, n-tv, Nachrichtenportale und dank n24.de dann auch doch noch den Livestream. Und das alles völlig zu recht, denn das Ergebnis ist doch bemerkenswert. In einer Zeit in der in Deutschland sämtlicher Fortschritt, hängt er mit [...]

Alright. Here we go. My 2 cents. So yesterday Apple announced the iPad . Their first tablet computer. Exactly what everyone expected. Steve (Jobs) called it his lifetime achievement. Actually I wouldn’t go this far… To first cover the basics: The device has a 9.7 inch display, weighs 1.5 pounds, and is half-an-inch thick. It is powered by new chip made by Apple itself, a 1 GHz A4 and will [...]

Intro: Blip.fm is a web service that allows you to listen to music you search for or to listen to music other “blip” (post). You can follow cool “DJs” and post the songs you’re listen to your social media networks. Actually, most of you web 2.0 freaks should already know blip.fm ;-) Today I realized that blip.fm launched some new features on it’s homepage. Not quite sure whether they’ve been [...]

For all of those who keep asking me “you’re into this mobile thing, right? What about this Google Phone?”. Here are the facts. Nothing more, nothing less. Bottom line so far: Looks like it rocks!

Since everybody’s talking about google these days (man, they’re really doing their best to be part of the news each day) I am sure that you’re all curious about what I think about it (hello mr. ego ;-) ). Actually it almost feels like Google tries to spam us during the last days ;-) But besides those mails that offer some mega increasing pills, Google offers something valuable. At least [...]

Since being a huge fan of Spanish but not having that much time to practice, I just had a look at some applications for my google phone in order to practice while being on the road. I tried a lot of free applications and kept three apps so far. Honestly there’s one, that is pretty cool. The other might not last long on my device. So if you have any [...]

[Trigami-Review] Im Rahmen einer Aktion durch http://www.dastelefonbuch-marketing.de wurde es mir ermöglicht die neue Androidapplikation DasTelefonbuch bereits vor dem offiziellen Launch (heute) im Android Market zu testen. Telefonbuchapplikationen gibt es ja schon einige, jetzt zieht also auch das “Original” nach. Und das gleich vorne weg, es überzeugt. DasTelefonbuch bietet nicht nur eine einfache Suche nach Namen oder Straßen, sondern das ganze auch location based. Not bad, für den Einstieg. Neben dem [...]

I’m pretty sure that I already lost some followers on twitter just because of this headline. But anyway it was google’s 11th birthday, so time for spreading some love ;-) First of all I have to say, that I’m not a groupie. I don’t like everything they do. Of course not! I don’t like that one of the guys (not quite sure whether Larry or Sergey) simply rent an island [...]
