wow! no post in two months! that’s not good. i apologize but there isn’t really much to say these days – at least not what i can say “on the air”… 😉
in any case, i’m currently thinking about what to do with my blog. how to go forward and how to commit to a more regular schedule.
let’s see. i hope to come up with something soon (at least within less than 2 months)
here are my 5 cents worth of predictions regarding the ipod video:
first the facts:
1. apple is preparing itunes 5 (we arrived at 4.9 after that comes 5) and that means: new functions, new layout etc.
2. steve jobs always said: “mobile video makes no sense”… from an interview with david pogue, nyt:
First, he said, on a video player, “there
remember my last post?
well, then read this: stay foolish. because god rewards fools!
steve jobs’ commencement speech at stanford last week:

the best quote:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
he is simply an amazing person!
i agree, but have to think what my main learnings were besides those… A VC: The Five Things I Learned In Business School
the killer app of the phone is, well, using it as a phone! that’s why data usage is best with data cards.
here’s a german article about this issue: user nutzen handy nur zum telefonieren
i’m currently sitting in a car on one of austria’s highways (A1 to be exact) (not driving myself) with a laptop on my lap (hence the name) and surfing the web with umts speed (using the card mentioned in my other entry).
it’s really, really cool! i’m loving it! 😉
i’m currently sitting somewhere in the middle of nowhere in lower austria with my powerbook and my spanking new vodafone umts/gprs data card! and it rocks…
i’m surfing the web with gprs speed (58kb/s) and yes it also works with umts speed (384kb/s) although not here (i was able to test the umts speed only shortly in our apartment in vienna!).
in any case: finally a killer app for me – connected anywhere anytime! cool!
if you are paranoid (or working for a large IT company) you might want to encrypt all your internet access.
this is now possible on all of our sites!
you can now access my site with a 128-bit security by entering: https://wibi.homeip.net/wp_en/
(or https://wibi.homeip.net/wp/ if you want to do it with the wibi.com site)
have fun!
as you can see i’m a bit slow (if not to say MIA – missing in action) with my blog entries!
that has one main reason: on may 2 i started a new job which is keeping me on my toes currently. i hope to be back with more and frequent entries soon.
ah, just in case you wondered: i have taken on the job of the managing director of raiffeisen informatik’s (raiffeisen’s IT company) holding for hi-tech- and tech-participations. i’m responsible for a portfolio of 15 technology companies and their business development! i won’t be able to blog a lot about my job but about the things the companies and the holding are doing in general…
so, stay tuned for more…
