"Britisches Innenministerium will Mautkameras für Überwachung einsetzen" titelt Heise heute.

How unexpected, though it comes in handy as an bad example. War die Debatte über den Datenschutz und die Überwachung bei TollCollect doch nicht so obsolet, nicht wahr?

Nun ja. Wir werden sehen wie sich das Verkehrsministerium mit dem Argument Datenschutz schlagen wird, oder besser gesagt: wie lange.

Apple (Yeah, Buzzword this Weekend!) is most definitely not following the oh-so sacred Google-Rule "Don't be evil!" (Just remember, and Google obviously remembers this too: Rules are there to be broken), but still i am merely dragged in by their stuff such as the iPod (no, i don't own one), MacBooks (don't even ask!) and such.

This was happening to me with the iPhone when it was first announced. I managed to get it out of my head, but i read about the first campers in front of the Apple-Stores because of the iPhone-Release so i visited apple.com and watched the "Guided Tour"-Video about this precious little thing (well, we'll re-discuss that after the first week of distribution and a lot of remote exploits later).

To spoil this precious hymn on Apple and it's products ('bout time ...):

DON'T LET MISTER SLIME PERSONALLY PRESENT YOUR PRODUCT ON THE INTERNET! ... unless you want to see the company stock skydive of course.

Seriously now: the guy that is presenting the iPhone on this Video is annoying in his looks, gestures, voice, generally his complete behavior and appearance. I hope they didn't aired that because if so they will be struggling to break even the 50.000-sales-Mark this Weekend.
