Well, I have to admit that I was quite shocked when I just read that the in my opinion so important blog „Where is Raed“ will not be continued. Since the war in iraq it was a very important medium to me, getting informations from behind the (fire-)walls…

Minority Report
The police of Brimingham is programming a software, that identifies thiefs just befor they steal! As debug reports, the system is called „Active Crime Intelligence System“, based on windows access! do you really think this works…;-)
audiogalaxy is back!
members of audiogalaxy have launched a new web-service: foldershare.com it seems to be a very cool application, `cause you can access your data from anywhere. well, actually i haven`t tried it yet, so don`t bother me if it`s crap…;-)
k1010 – poor free-tv
Not that there was enough whacky stuff on TV! NO! It comes even worse: K1010 – will start a TV program, as mediabiz.de (in german) reports. It is an interactive-gaming show, where you can play „online“ games. But the most astonishing thing is, that scholz and friends, a very respectablly ad agency, has major parts of k1010 gmbh. it seems that money has no shame…
Bushs most important speech!
It will start in few minutes: at 21 CET Mr. Bush will talk to his nation – and to the world in his „state of the union“ speech. In an election-year it is the most important speech! What he will take about? He will say just little about the worse situation in iraq; I think the cenatral themes will be of inner-political kind: he has to find a moderate position between the conservative and the democratic voters. maybe about health care? Anyway, let`s see, and if you are able to watch it: do it 😉
we all know about the major problem of the internet: find the right information you need. so, uddi.org is going to implement a new standard (basing on xml, …) to connect webservices. the goal i see in it, is to connect different businesses togehter: why should the internet customer book his flight, his hotel, his car,…, at different companies?connect them with one standard, and he gets nice holidays just by booking the hotel. the rest will be done automatically: based on the data the user filled in when booking the hotel, a car will be rented (by choosing the cheapest one from the different connected carcompanies), the flight will be booked (by choosing from the cheapest airline) and so on. it is a very interesting technology, and when you see, which companies stand behind it, you can guess, it will be a success (maybe..;-)
UMTS started in germany
what an astonishing news: t-mobile started its first umts service on thursday. as n24.de reports, nokia is going to sell the first umts handy next week.
musicians want double money
Due to the fact, that modern anti-copy-piracy technology burns each track twice on one music cd (one to be played in your cd-rom device, and one that is not able to be copied), news.com reports, that musicicians want to get the double amount of money. Well, somehow it`s logically, but it´s even more „chilli“ into the the „discussion-soup“ about music-piracy…
