AT&T mentions 3G and iPhone in the same sentence
Filed Under Apple, Tech | Leave a Comment
…does this mean that the 3G iPhone will hit the shops soon?..or is it just wishful thinking?..
Under the headline ‘Data Access’ AT&T informs:
“In order to use data such as email, Google Maps, YouTube videos and web browsing, AT&T recommends using iPhone in a 3G or EDGE Network (coverage viewer), or from a local Wi-Fi connection.”

Spam on Facebook .. Now It Happened To Me As Well
Filed Under Daily Stuff, News, Web | Leave a Comment
Slowly Facebook IS turning into the new Myspace.
I have been reading several blogposts about people being spammed on Facebook lately, and then today it came around knocking on my door as well.
I received a friends request from a guy calling himself Ryan Attwell .. never heard of him.
I went to check out his profile and noticed that his pictures was part of his public profile. Strange, I thought.
Then I took a closer look at the pictures and found that he had 13 albums of “designer” handbags. Strange again, I thought. This guy does not look like someone who would put his all his designer handbags on display.
But then when I took a closer look at the pictures I noticed that they had an URL written all over them .. which, surprise surprise!, would take me to a site selling fake designer stuff.
I assume that Zuckerberg’s world reign will never happen by the way things are going.
Spam is no longer just a part of the oh-so-lovely 3rd party applications like Funwall and Superwall, but is now also part of the Facebook platform itself.
The fun ended before it really begun..

Victoria Beckham for Marc Jacobs
Filed Under Fashion | Leave a Comment
Victoria in a bag for Marc Jacobs. I do remember that she said that the pictures would be different, but I had no idea that this is what she had in mind!
The pictures were taken by Juergen Teller and show Victoria Beckham in a huge Marc Jacobs shopping bag or stepping out of a gift box.
Check out all the pictures here

Jennifer Connelly is the new face for Balenciaga, and I like it!
She is fronting the spring campaign for the fashion house, in a series of photos by David Sims.
She wore a Balenciaga outfit from head to toe to the L.A. premiere of ‘Reservation Road’ in October. Which makes totally sense now, I remember being somewhat surprised by her choice of outfit back then.
More pictures from the premiere
here.
Thanks Just Jared

Thom York in Conversation with David Byrne
Filed Under Music | Leave a Comment
This is great!
Wired brought David Byrne (Talking Heads) and Thom Yorke (Radiohead) together, to talk about the real value of music and about Radiohead’s In Rainbows distribution strategy.
Hearing this from one innovative musician to the other, i.e. without too much business stuff, made me understand the deal a little bit better.
Yorke: “The only reason we could even get away with this, the only reason anyone even gives a shit, is the fact that we’ve gone through the whole mill of the business in the first place. It’s not supposed to be a model for anything else. It was simply a response to a situation.”

Putin Is The Time’s Person of the Year 2007
Filed Under News | Leave a Comment
Time has chosen Vladimir Putin as Person of the Year 2007.
If you wonder why, a quote from the article might help you:
“TIME’s Person of the Year is not and never has been an honor. It is not an endorsement. It is not a popularity contest. At its best, it is a clear-eyed recognition of the world as it is and of the most powerful individuals and forces shaping that world—for better or for worse.”
Seen in that light, Putin is rightfully the person of the year. When I look back at how Russia was when I first visited in 1994, it seems like a totally different country today. And the changes, for better or for worse, catapulted after Putin came to powers in 2000.

Heidi Klum Jewelry
Filed Under Fashion | Leave a Comment
Heidi Klum has made a new Runway Jewelry Collection.
Because we can’t see Project Runway here in Germany, I didn’t know about this collection until reading about it on the internet today.
I have kept an eye on her jewelry for some time now, seeing how the collections got better and better with time.
I could buy everything she wore in episode 4, but these earrings are still my favourites.

Mark Zuckerberg Answers
Filed Under Web | Leave a Comment
After keeping quiet for (too) many weeks after the Project-Beacon release, Mark Zuckerberg finally spoke today.
Basically not so much new, but at least he admits that they did a bad job with the release and he even apologizes for it ..
From now on Beacon is not only an opt-in system, but you can even turn it off completely in your privacy settings here.
