My first android: HTC Desire

11:29 mareku 0 Comments

Because there are some interesting developments in android lately Marijn and I couldn't stand aside and bought each a HTC Desire. We need to know how android works adn to see what's going on on this app market. It took a couple of minutes to get used to the UI - being a iphone adapt for so long. Hopefully this will ease my (phone)life as well, because my iPhone4 still drops calls like flies on a hot day :-(

Norman Wisdom dead - the end of a (british) era

What is better then a (rainy) Sunday afternoon and a movie with Norman Wisdom? E.g. Trouble in Store.
Norman was unique as a clown a "normal" guy getting into all kind of trouble (hence the title of above movie). I still have to laugh out loud when I see these movies - which says something about their timeless quality. They are also a excellent mirror of Britain in the 1950's.  He is like George Formby: one of the great Brits ever...

An extra 3 TB - should be enough for the comming year

I upgraded my MacPro tower with 2 WD 1.5TB internal drives. Although I move more and more stuff to the cloud (pics - picasa / music - spotify / docs - dropbox) I still am running into memory shortage. So with a total of 10TB I should be OK for now...

My iPhone4 sucks - or is it my VAPOR case?

It looks awesome and feels even better: my VAPOR iphone4 case.  But since I attached it it is almost impossible to make/receive calls with my iPhone4. The calls keep on dropping and my voicemail comes in days after people leave a message. After some googling I read that more people have this problem.
Some even say that this case reduces antenna effectiveness by 99%... 
So with pain in my heart I had no choice but to remove my case and to try my phone "case- less" :-(
