The iPad Air in IN!!

Wednesday, November 6th, 2013

My collection of Apple goodies increased; I couldn’t hold of buying the new iPad Air after seeing/holding it at the Apple Store today. 😉 I kinda knew I wouldn’t be able to resist after the release two weeks ago. I actually was waiting for the release since beginning this year, rumours were that an iPad 5 could be released as early as March. That didn’t happen, probably to optimize the design so it could be called iPad Air instead of iPad 5 (or ‘the newest iPad’ 😉 )…super thin and light weighted, fantastic!

The iPad has had quite a development in the past three years, it opened a whole new market and is still unmatched in quality and user experience…

Steve Jobs: “Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

Photos that say it all

Nothing to add here, it is just fantastic to capture a moment that tells a whole story in one image…it requires talent (or pure luck 😉 )

Trees and Wifi

Saturday, November 2nd, 2013

Earlier WiFi related posts on this blog included funny pictures like ‘WiFi antenna or USB port?‘ and ‘Birds and WiFi‘. This one is more serious, and sadly enough true…it would make a great business plan though (or Google X project)!

I love my (free) WiFi, but adore O2 more! 🙂

It is Movember!

Friday, November 1st, 2013

The 1st of November kicks off a nearly 10 year old tradition called Movember; men growing moustaches to raise awareness of prostate cancer and other men’s health issues. Movember moustaches were first grown in Australia back in 2003 and it seems to increase in popularity year over year (or at least, it gets more MSM-coverage); good to see the term ‘Movember’ and the related health messages for men spreading across the globe.

Below you will find the TED talk by Adam Garone, co-founder of Movember…interesting and funny!
