CRE191 Internet im Festnetz

Der CRE über Internet im Festnetz ist besonders lustig geraten. Es ist teilweise echt überraschend wie dreist wir zum Narren gehalten wurden/werden … 🙁

Besonders lustig (d.h. die Szenen haben auch komödiantisch was her):

43:19 über die “digitale Revolution” für Leute in der DSL-Wüste und den “heiligen Akt” der Einwahl 😀
1:58:53 über die Möglichkeit 200Mbit über den gewöhnlichen Hausanschluss zu bekommen.

Money Quote:

Tim: “… Könnte ich ja im Prinzip 100Mbit …”

Gast: “200”

Tim: “… in jede Richtung? …”

Gast: “Mhmm”

(3s Schweigen)

(Zögenrndes Lachen)

Gast: “Aber warum … warum sollte die Telekom dir sowas legen, wenn sie dir auch ein Bussinesprodukt verkaufen kann, wo sie schön den Bürgersteig für aufmachen und ‘ne Glasfaser rein legen und dich tausend-quietsch Euro im Monat dafür zahlen lassen.”

Wirklich deprimierend. 🙁

Al-Ghazali

I just heard a very (and I mean VERY) interesting talk by Hamza Yusuf about Imam Al-Ghazali … his life, his works, his understanding, his importance. 🙂

On another occasion I found an interview with Dr. Timothy Winter about him.

… I really have to read more … 😉

The 28c3 is about to end. 🙁 … but there have been some really interesting talks (as every year 😉 ) … and the best thing is they were quite quick with the recordings this year. Most of them were available a few hours after the talk on the 28c3 YouTube channel … so enjoy 🙂

Kids React to Viral Videos

Muhaha … I just found out there are these hilarious reactions from kids watching things like Epic Meal Time or Rebecca Black … 😀

Quadriplegic StarCraft II Player

Husky posted an interesting news bit about an quadriplegic StarCraft II player from Oregon. 🙂 He even seems to have rigged up custom input equipment to help im play the game. 🙂

Google hat angefangen Andoid 4 für Nexus S auszurollen

Vor einigen Wochen kam noch die Meldungen, dass Google Mitarbeiter bereits Vorversionen von Android 4.0 für ihre Nexus S bekommen.

Nun scheint Google (zumindest in den USA) Updates auf Android 4 für alle OTA zu verteilen. Ich freu mich schon 😀

Update:

Ich habe gerade meine Updatebenachrichtigung bekommen … mal sehen 🙂

Die Bank gewinnt immer

Ein nettes Beispiel dafür, wie eine Bank einen kleinen Jungen in Chicago, für sein Taschengeldkonto, (richtig viel) Geld mit kreativen Gebühren abzockt.

Lawrence Lessig interviews Jack Abramoff on corruption in Washington

It seems there was a public interview of Jack Abramoff by Lawrence Lessig under the banner of the Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics at HLS, of which Lessig is the director.

There are two nice write-ups with pictures and quotes. There is also a video of the interview. 🙂

Internet Finds: Mijn moskee is top

“Mijn moskee is top” is a funny (as in unfamiliar 😉 ) show broadcast by the NPO where they visit mosques around the Netherlands and try to give an insight into the their respective communities and let them explain why they think their mosque is “top”. 🙂

The nice thing is, you can catch old episodes on Uitzending Gemist (the NPO’s web portal for already broadcast programs). 😀 The downside is, to do so, they expect you to have Silverlight (really bad 🙁 ), but also offer Flash as an alternative (less bad, but still).

Repetitive Strain Injury

Recently Charlene Tessier blogged about RSI and how to counter it which I happened to pick up on Planet Ubuntu.

It is an interesting read … especially for those who spend extensive amounts of time sitting in front of a computer. There are technical solutions to the problem (yes, we love them 😉 ). But in the end you should be making a conscious decision to develop habits that naturally counteract the symptoms and effects of RSI. Well … if you want to “live long and prosper” that is 😉
