iPhone tourism in France?

Some law in France is forcing Apple to break down and offer an unlocked version of its iPhone. Here in the US, unlocked iPhones are the electronic leprecons. Many claim to have seen them, some work some don't. Some say if you get it unlocked you have to watch out for updates and turn off your phone when they're rolling out updates otherwise the download turns your unlocked iPhone into a brick!

If unlocked iPhone will be avilable, and legally in France, does that mean more people will be taking their vacations in France next year, and pick up a legitimate unlocked iPhone on their way?

Beta Testing Pirates of the Caribbean!



Ok so I have been on the waiting list for beta testing Pirates of the Caribbean Online for the last 3 months... During which I checked reviews, visited the blog and discussed several issues with a couple of other beta testers...


And then a couple of days ago I get the long awaited for email! I got it! And now I can test play this game and see how things goes...


Downloaded it, and went through the initial phase of registering and then creating my avatar! Which really surprised me, the guys really took time and put lots of effort in the interface and the options given to you while create the avatar. Lots of customization in there, well done.


So I am in... Went on and started moving around, familiarizing myself with the environment and controls... Cool tutorial and wow suddenly I notice I have been sitting for like 6 hours...


Next post will have pics from the Pirates World, I promise...

13 yrs around the world

Jason Lewis made it back to England on Saturday after embarking 13 years ago on a world trip using only the human power!

"Everything I've been doing for the last 13 years has been in some way connected to this trip and tomorrow that will be no more" says Lewis...

His lowest points on the trip included breaking his legs in the United States where he was hit by a car and being thrown in jail in Egypt when he was suspucted to be a spy as he crossed borders illegally from Sudan :)

But he says the highs on the trip compensated for the lows!

A true living legend...

More on the story here.

Formula 1: Lewis Hamilton on fan video

Last week's Formula 1 race at Fuji Tokyo saw a lot of retirements, mainly due to the severe rain. One of retirements was Mark Webber and Thomas Vettel. During the race, no one watching on TV saw what had happened, we only saw Webber going out in what seemed like Vettel running into the back of his car.

But in this day and age, the broadcast crew of Japanese TV are no longer the only source. A fan caught what really happened on his video camera, and he posted it on YouTube. Upon getting news of it, Red Bull Racing submits the evidence to the stewards and sparks an investigation of the incident.

Turns out, Lewis Hamilton almost passes the safety car, goes wide on a turn and comes to a halt. In order not to pass Hamilton and get penalized, Webber slows down as well, confused as to what Hamilton is doing. Vettel is caught out by surprise and cannot slow down in time, runs into the back of Webber's car.

Fascinating, how the spread of electronics, and mass media reach of YouTube empowered an amateur video to have such an impact.

Saw IV

For every SAW fan out there, yesterday a new clip was uploaded onto youtube and wow did it stir things up or what! Doing around 2 million views in less than a day :)

Watch and be carefull...

Facebook Application sells for $20,000 on eBay!!!

Ok go get started developing Facebook Apps now!!!
A simple application just got sold for $20K on ebay. It is called the "I Am Hungry" application and it got sold for $20,100 on ebay. It is said the application has more than 250k subscribers with around 1000 daily active users.

The ebay description read:

"Buying "I am hungry" will give you access to a quarter of a million users that are just waiting to be energized and attracted to the application. If your company has related products such as ordering food online or restaurant guides, buying this application and investing some time to improve it would give you a jumpstart in the Facebook application world."

This really makes me wonder what is next on Facebook :)

Bush's UN Speech Full of Fone-eh-tick Pronunciations for World Leaders

One could look at it as the guy can't remember names and is doing his best to not offend others by mispronouncing their names. However, this is the President of USA, we all have more expectations of him. It's sad to see that he needs help pronouncing words. What else does he need help with?

in-flight WiFi

Genius, pure genius. Alaska Air claiming that by 2008 they'll have WiFi on their planes. Think of the possibilities:

  • no more boring re-run episodes of obscure British shows
  • no more lies from the front cabin, you check delays for yourself and find out if the airport is closed for fog, or the captain took a wrong turn at Albuquerque
  • That presentation you were going to work on when you arrived at 9pm, done!
  • watch plane crashes on youTube.com and scare the person next to you

Led Zeppelin: 20 million in 1 day

So yesterday the news broke out of the upcoming Led Zeppelin reunion concert. The concert is a fund raiser for a charity. To get tickets, you need to register at the charity's web site. I guess they weren't ready for 20 million people to rush in ONE day.

Their network crashed and I'd imagine they're scrambling for more bandwidth to accommodate.

20 million in one day, Guardian put it best "Whole Lotta Love for Led Zeppelin"

LED ZEPPELIN, in concert 1 more time!!

We all say that we like music. But what I consider the definition on that is that if you would devote 5 minutes of a day to listen to a song, then you really like music. This is different from people that would:

  1. tolerate music
  2. have music running as background noise
  3. use music to cover construction sounds
  4. work in an un-insulated cubicle next to someone that DEOS like music
  5. born deaf

If none of the above applies to you, then you must at least like Led Zeppelin. Therefore, this piece of news is huge, massive, colossal, gargantuan....

I never thought I'd live to see the day when Led Zeppelin would be performing live again. Now I have to figure how to be in London on November 26.

This could be one of the best concerts EVER. It is at London's 02 Arena, and the concert benefits Ahmet Ertegun Education Fund.

Apple Offering Credit for Upset iphone customers :)

And who doesn't like a $100 credit!

Apparently, the new price cut on iphone has caused a big stir among customers who already bought the handset a couple of months ago!

This caused a rebellion and hordes of angry customers went to the streets and started wrecking cars, destroying shops and burning tires... The national guard went to the streets as the police couldn't handle the riots... And soon it was martial law all over the world...

Why oh why!!!

Ok that part was my imagination... So forget about it...

The true story is basically, as customers became upset Apple is giving them $100 credit.

In a letter on the company website Steve Jobs said: "Our early customers trusted us, and we must live up to that trust with our actions in moments like these."

Further details of how the refunds will work are to appear on the website this week.

Nice move if you ask me :)

The HAKA!

Kimi Raikkonen Monza Accident

Update... Due to some copywright the movie was removed from youtube :(

Zain the X MTC

It is sad when a rebranding goes bad in several ways... What is worse is when someone discovers that the new brand name means D**K in some foreign language...

A brief history, the company called MTC is a telecom provider in several countries across the Middle East and Africa. They rebranded and revealed their new brandname a couple of days ago "Zain". The whole rebranding took a couple of years and many leaks and scandals and yesterday it ended with someone discovering that "Zain" means "D**K" or "P**IS" in Hebrew...

Well at least this is what those websites say...

Indian Jones IV


Oops! Or is it?

Well Shia LaBeouf let it slip at the MTV's Video Music Awards that the official title for Indian Jones IV is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull! Apparently, it is one of six recently reported titles revealed in a Motion Pictures Association of America Title Registration Report.

LaBeouf goes "So I've been sworn to secrecy by Steven Spielberg and George Lucas not to tell you the title of the next Indiana Jones movie. What the hell, I'm 21 and we're in Vegas, baby, so here it goes. The official title to the next Indiana Jones installment: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Later on the title has been confirmed on the official Indiana Jones website. The movie opens on May 22, 2008.

UK's anti-gadget rules

2 years in prison for texting or fiddling with a gadget?? Communist Russia wasn't this oppressive. What's a techno-file to do in the UK? its a bit harsh I think. I've done the occasional swerve whist texting, but isn't that supposed to train us for future accident avoidance maneuvers?

Google Earth Flight Simulator

Ok the latest Easter Egg from Google!

This is the find of Marco Gallota, I think he was playing around Google and bam! He hit the jackpot :)

Apparently, Google has hidden in the latest version of GE a flight simulator. What for I don't know, no one knows, and no one from Google said anything until now...

But the application is there and it runs and works very well :) Ok I crashed like 20 times already, but no one said it is going to be easy, heck no one said it is there at the first place!

All you have to do to try it out is download the latest version of GE, start it up, move around in GS and then hit Ctrl+Alt+A (or if on OS X hit Command+Option+A) then you will get a popup where you select the type of plane you want to use. Currently two choices, either an F16 or an SR22 (which is easier as much slower) and from there on go and discover :)

Read the full story on Macro's blog...

Pit Bull

Well, I don't know what you think about dogs in general, but many fear them while many like them... Some have ten around them others can't stand next to them...

I want to talk here about the Pit Bull, who is deemed like the worst kind and in the states latelly many groups are trying abolish as a pet.

Doing some research on the subject will highlight that the Pit Bull is one of the safest dogs to be around... Actually, you are most likely to be bitten by a cocker spaniel than a pit bull. Ok they do look mean, but come on we are the one's who have been training them as fight dogs since 1000 years!

I found that edit on youtube, really good one!

Are we going Google?

Looking around one sees Google in many things these days. You have the search engine, the gmail, the blogs, the groups, earth, sky, ......................................... and now they are talking about the gphone and God knows what will come after that... So what is going on!

Well, they are doing it very well I have to admit. There isn't one google thing I tried and didn't like until now. There isn't a google thing that I tried and said I don't need as well.

I don't know, but I have this feeling google is winning not only the internet race, but anything related to technology race.

By the way did you hear about google brain? It is an idea on how google would look like in around yr 2020... Worth checking out :)

Soon we might start seeing google cars!

Energy Saving Google

The find of the day!
Someone out there did some calculation and came out with this result:
"... If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views,
according to calculations, 750 megawatts/hour per year would be saved."

In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle,
with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy
consumption.

Check it out press here and go black!

The Family of "It's Playtime!"

The family of "It's Playtime!" is growing :)
Now we are two writers reporting on what is fun and going on around us!
Please, welcome Shazzz into the group.

Shaolin Monks Vs. Ninja

I read this and couldn't stop laughing! Reminded me of old Kung Fu movies I used to watch when I was a kid... So the Shaolin are feeling bad because an internet dude posted on some forum tha they were beaten by a ninja :)

As if there isn't enough issues between China and Japan already!

So let me see, if I want to take sides... Who will win Shaolin Monk or Ninja???

Deepest blue: Crater Lake

On my latest motorcycle trip I got a chance to see Crater Lake in Oregon.

The lake is in the middle of a park about 1 hour south of Bend, OR, and about 2 hours north of the California border. It is an old volcano that erupted for thousands of years creating a massive whole.
Snow and underground springs feed the lake. It is uninhabited, so I assume the water should be quite clean. I have never seen a deeper blue. I don't know if minerals from the old volcano eruption, or what, but I'm curious to know if there is any other body of water with a deeper blue. Pictures don't do it justice. The view is spectacular, and ride up the mountain is sublime.

Gene Therapy: science or witch-craft?

images of Total Recall come to mind every time I hear about DNA or gene therapy. Are we ready for this?
For all we know, someone might look and function normally, but the effects could be on such a profound level that we might not know to gauge the side effects.
In the case of the article, the woman died, so duh, it didn't work. Does anyone know if there's any international governing body? historically, such efforts fail. But perhaps all the DNA scientists could have their private version of twitter, and when one does an "oops" the others know about it. Can we call it: Scwitter?

The Holy Airlines!

Apparently, the Vatican launched last Monday the world's first airline for Catholic pilgrims.

"Complete with Vatican logos on headrests and air hostesses' uniforms, the inaugural flight traveled from Rome's Fiumicino airport for the shrine of Lourdes in France.

The Vatican aims to serve 150,000 pilgrims a year on its chartered Boeing 737, run by Italy's Mistral Air.

Destinations range from the shrine of Fatima in Portugal to Mount Sinai in Egypt, where Moses is said to have received the 10 Commandments from God.

In-flight entertainment on the way to the world's holy sites will, somewhat predictably, be religious in nature, the Vatican said." Rome, Reuters reported...

What next for the Vatican... Space trips to Mars!

Lebanon as a Safe Destination

Where is your mobile from?

Ok, most of us know where the mobile is from... but is it true? Apparently there is a way to check... Try this:

Press the following on your mobile *#06# and the-international mobile equipment identity number appears.

Check the 7th and 8th digits...

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 02 or 20 that mean it was assembled in the Emirates which is very Bad quality

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 08 or 80 that means it was manufactured in Germany which is not bad

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 01 or 10 that mean it's manufactured in Finland which is Good

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 00 that means it was manufactured in original factory which is the best Mobile Quality ...

IF the digit number Seven & Eight is 13 that means it was assembled in Azerbaijan which is very poor quality and potentially very dangerous to your health!!!

God help us all :)
