An nahezu jedem Computer werden wir daran erinnert, dass es eine Zeit gab, in der Tageszeitungen die technologische Entwicklung getrieben haben. Die Schrift „Times New Roman“ hat ihren Namen von ihrem Auftraggeber und ihrer Verwendung: Die London Times lies eine… Read more ›
Ich gebe es zu: wie so viele andere Apple-Fans saß auch ich um kurz nach 19 Uhr vor meinem iPad und sah mir den Livestream an. Ich wollte hören und sehen, was Apple denn nun eigentlich anzukündigen und zu zeigen… Read more ›
Ich sitze gerade auf dem Balkon und sehe auf dem iPad ein Video von Steve Jobs, das zu seligen NeXT-Zeiten entstand. Interessant, in vielen Facetten. Steve Jobs — Lost Interview from John on Vimeo.
Twitter’s native app for Mac OS has been my primary Twitter environment for some time now. I used it before it got that entirely new (nonstandard) user interface. I still like it better than the other Twitter app’s I’ve seen out there,… Read more ›
Liebe Zeitungswebsite-CMS-Konfektionierer, die Druckansichten auf Euren Websites sind ja durchaus sehr praktisch. Könnt Ihr es aber bitte so einrichten, dass die Druckansicht nicht ein neues Fenster oder ein neues Tab öffnet, sondern einfach in meinem aktuellen Browser geladen wird, so… Read more ›
I get the very distinct impression that MicroNokia are not setting themselves up to compete against Apple, but much rather primarily against Google’s Android. Largely, this is because again we’re seeing a split between hardware and software companies. In splitting apart… Read more ›
I do admit it: I like the IMAP protocol. I regularly use multiple computers and my iPhone, and I read and write email on all of them. IMAP makes that convenient: I have the same view of my folders and my inbox on every… Read more ›
Coming home from two weeks abroad and some idle time to think, I have a few more topics to blog about. One of them is one of the things I consider one of the most obscene forms of ripoff the mobile phone carriers… Read more ›
It is a widely held belief that Steve Jobs is a man to transform industries. He’s done it before, and I think he (with his company Apple) has set his eyes to do it yet again. This time, it’s telephony. And I can’t blame… Read more ›
I — probably along with many, many others of the iPhone Twitter App — discovered something that I consider a bug. As soon as you rotate the phone, your position in your timeline is utterly garbled. Where you are after turning has no resemblance whatsoever to… Read more ›
So there’s a new Kindle that looks quite attractive. Many things on the Kindle plattform appear quite nice: You can read the Kindle books on multiple devices (the Kindle app for iPhone and iPad just as well as your desktop and… Read more ›
Following up on my last posting, there are a few more things that come to mind when thinking about the future of TV sets. With all those video streaming services that I want, I also would like integration with my lapop (or iPhone… Read more ›
It seems that TV sets that offer some form of web connectivity are the latest craze, right next with the 3D stuff that is not yet ready for consumption, at least to my mind. I say web connectivity because it’s about… Read more ›
So if you thought that the last post dates me, see here. This is from the mid eighties, magnetic stripes to save stuff on. One stripe held all of 1.2 kb. What fun to remember!
There is an approach in URL shorteners that I have not yet seen, but think that has some merit: Store all the information for the URLs in a DNS zone. Store the URLs you point to as TXT records. The zone can… Read more ›
Cleaning up the basement (because we had some water leaking in, but that is a different matter entirely), I found stuff that practically makes me feel ancient …
Just talking about the iPhone, there is an API that I’d like to see and I’m sure many applications would benefit from: A download manager. I imagine that an app could register to pull the content of a specific URL or the answer… Read more ›

Wo ich schon dabei bin, schreibe ich auch gleich noch auf, was ich derzeit an Extensions so in meinem Thunderbird sitzen habe: Enigmail MinimizeToTray Signature Switch View Headers Toggle button header scroll extension Mail Redirect [Tags] Thunderbird extensions software [/tags]
