Say goodbye to Google Wave
At the beginning there was a wave In a former article I wrote some words about Google Wave, a service to do live and interactive co-laboration. It was highly coveted at the beginning, because people could only get in with a private invitation. Those invites were quite rare and everyone wanted to be in. After [...]
VirtualBox3 vs. Parallels5
The Parallels Desktop virtualization is great, and the update from 4 to 5 brings a lot new features. But there is one thing what makes me really angry: the price! Pricing In my humble opinion the price for this update is very much to much. Some months ago, I just bought the update from 3 [...]
Chrome Browser for Mac
As a Webkit lover, of course I love the Safari browser. It is fast, reliable, powerful and easy to use.

From a technical perspective, Gecko is now very solid and [...]
Welcome to the Google Wave

The internet lost against a carrier pigeon. The bird got a tiny 4 GB memory card and transported it over a distance of about 85 kilometres. [...]
Running Virtual Machines from a USB stick
Since I got my 16 GB USB memory stick, which is a quite huge storage amount, I got the idea to make the best out of it and do a performance test. Many disc accesses are usually done with a Virtual Machine, so I put a blank Parallels Windows XP virtual machine image to the [...]

Commodore was great in computing. The C64 and Amiga were the greatest machines ever had been produced. Today are still some guys at the demoscene active and coding really amazing and stunning stuff we absolutely could image that it would ever be possible.

Microsoft toasting with MacBook
Walking to the subway station I saw a an advert with a weird looking notebook on a big poster, but the design is very familar to me, so I decided to take a closer look. It is a MacBookPro with a unusal thick screen and toasts falling into it. Next to it the hashkey “Toastbook”. [...]
