Jacko

Michael Jackson’s Thriller has been my first music cassette. In the early eighties I got a Walkman with fancy orange earphones and this cassette. Now Jacko is dead. Quite sad.

There are tons of articles at the moment but OMG has quite a lot I can recommend: http://omg.yahoo.com/news/mystery-surrounds-michael-jacksons-sudden-death/24348

Uri Geller thought it’s a hoax… ;) and I was quite surprised I must admit. 50 is not an age to die if you are not sick.

Windows 7 without IE in Europe

3099549281_6f4fb83a10_b

That’s big and in my opinion a step in the right direction. Now Windows 7 needs to bring a feature to choose from a different set of browsers. Internet Explorer 8 is for sure competitive so I think sill a lot of people will choose it as their primary browser.

… but what about the media player, firewall, messenger that’s bundled? :D

HUMMER now Chinese

What’s next? Pontiac gets sold to Cuba and Saab to North Korea? … and, yea the Hummer is the perfect car for crowded Chinese cities as we can see on the upper photo.

Saab

Opel now Russian

Russians don’t have to copy Opel anymore. They simply bought it… not bad. It’s clearly a political move to sell it to Sbierbank.

Go home Intel

3271936300_6e5af1e087_b
Victory for Europe and the European customers! The one billion-euro fine on Intel by the European is based on facts. I wouldn’t be able to prove it but from what I’ve seen Intel really manipulated the market and tried to kill AMD and also Intel brainwashed customers – they now think Intel is really better for them – I know a lot of such people. Bullshit ads with “Intel Inside” make you think AMD is cheap junk and that is not true. I have now an AMD Phenom II machine and it was the best choice for me. Not too expensive – really powerful – just right!

Swat valley

What a nice view, isn’t it? This is Swat valley. A popular place where Pakistanis used to go on vacation. Swat valley is today a nest of these Taliban-Suckers… really a shame that Pakistan allowed this to happen for so long! Finally the Pakistani authorities are moving their ass. I hope they can handle the military offensive on their own.

Cyber Defense Center of Excellence

Cyber Defense Center of Excellence in Tallinn, Estonia is the latest NATO effort to protect the security of our Internet-Infrastructure. Good to see that we have something like that!

… but look! What the hell is this? I see such posters very often here in Germany. This one says “No to NATO”. Maybe we should redirect all the DDOS attacks to the server of “Die Linke” – or even better – to the PCs of the members of this party?
