10.11.07My new toy: BlackBerry 8310 CurveWe got some new BlackBerry 8310 Curve devices and have worked with it in the last couple of days. I am trying to summarize here our thoughts on the 8310. First Impression Compared to the "old" devices (the 8xxx/7xxx series) the new 8310 is just a beauty to look at. It must be the best BlackBerry device so far. It is much thinner, lighter, features a camera and the overall impression is that this device is not only a evolution but a small revolution, as well. Feature Set The major feature set of this device (I guess) is the camera (2MB), the trackball navigation, ...

10.03.07Netscape Navigator 9 Release Candidate 1 AvailableIt is not that the world has waited for the Netscape Browser but it is nice to see that it got picked up and some development has been going on. Thus Netscape announced that RC 1 is available. The most important change is that they removed the built-in social news functionality. Here is the quote from their site: "Due to Netscape.com's transition from a social news site to a traditional news portal (and the resulting re-launch of the social news site at Propeller.com), we made the decision to remove the built-in social news functionality from the Netscape Navigator Web browser. We ...

10.03.07ColdFusion 8 is new and ColdFusion 9 is already anouncedAnybody telling that Adobe is not dedicated to ColdFusion has just been proven otherwise. Adobe announced during the Max 2007 conference that ColdFusion 9 is planed and has the codename "Centaur". Now start your speculation what wil be in the next major release :-) Btw; if you have not started coding in ColdFusion 8 you should now be doing so immediately. It is well worth it.

09.22.07Google on the move against FaceBookThere is a interesting story over at TechCrunch on a confidential meeting that took place at Google to "out open" FaceBook. We usually don't refer to such stories but since the post is coming from Michael Arrington we can say it is a "safe" source.

09.21.07Hold your program in your headI just found this very well written and interesting blog post titled "Holding a program in one's head". To summarize in short the post is based on the following topics: Avoid distraction. Work in long stretches. Use succinct languages. Keep rewriting your program. Write re-readable code. Work in small groups. Don't have multiple people editing the same piece of code. Start small. The post explains much better what the eight points above mean and I suggest you ...

09.05.07NSA is reading your email also for foreignersThis is kinda scary and makes one wonder how long it will take until we are all shut down.... The NSA got the approval to read any emails and listen in to phone conversations of all foreigners. In the name of "international terrorism" the US Congress gave the NSA all rights to do so. No need to say, that all persons as well as organizations are affected by this new law. All in all, every email that goes into the USA could be read by the NSA. If you have a provider located in the USA and are using it for your ...

09.03.07The rules of successful executionsI love books like "the seven habits of highly effective people" by Steven R. Covey. Personally I think that the world would be a better place if people would follow more the "inner voice" and leave a life of peace and fulfillment then running after wealth and career. The other day I came upon a post that talks about the 10 rules of execution. I wrote these 10 rules down on a paper and moved on, thus I apologize for not quoting the source. Take a active role with all your actions Always look out ...

08.28.07Jeff Skoll on inspiring real changeThis talk by Jeff Skoll (former eBay president) must be the most inspiring event of this year. I totally admire persons, who have become wealthy and spend it for good cause. I mean there are more people that have a lot of wealth and spend it only for their own dreams. Wouldn't it be great if you could influence the future of your society and the world in general, create awareness and give something back to the people who made you wealthy in the first place? Jeff Skoll made his fortune as the first president of eBay. Now he's spending it at ...

08.13.07China enforces user tracking… scaryOnce in a while some news passes by that forces one to think about the future. Today, I saw one of these articles over at the New York Times entitled "China Enacting a High-Tech Plan to Track People". Eventually, it all burns down that in Shenzhen at least 20000 police surveillance cameras are being installed that automatically recognizes the faces of suspects and detects unusual activities. While, "fighting the crime" and spreading fear among people, always gets any surveillance approved (Hello Mr. Bush) there is another side to the story revealed. As stated in the article a residency card is being distributed ...

07.29.07Dan Denett’s talk questions some of western culture’s fundamental assumptionsThis is a talk from Dan Dennett that he gave in 2002 during the TED conference. His words and explanations are very much still valid today. when you watch this then pay close attention to the last 5 minutes of his talk. In the last part of his speech he questions and at the same time appreciates the technology that helps spread the news. Point is that we are all individuals and take upon a news, religion, philosophy and alike in different way. I guess, this is what humans beings with their free minds are made off.
